not letting the other part defend them self by killing them with money pressure

if you look at this month quebectorrent donation this i exactly what is going to happend

ill go donate a 50$ to this site… not for the site cause i dont use it but for p2p around canada and world

i think you should do the same so this poor admin can defend the p2p

In three months time, the Canadian music, movie and TV industries will unleash their combined legal might on a little known BitTorrent tracker. A true David and Goliath battle, the QuebecTorrent case is one that Michael Geist says is “worth watching…

we need a change a gov’t and if them wanky liberls don’t do it we need ot get rid of pc party and liberal party for good
vote ANYTHING BUT Liberal and Conservative

Woe be the day when they score some kind of victory.

You know what? I don’t give a shit whether linking to some file that presumably contains copyrighted material might be infringing on some company’s intellectual property. This is completely irrelevant legal brag. It bores me to death.

If it turns out to be illegal to link to a file then we’ll link to a ton of distributed files that contain little “fair use” pieces of the copyrighted material. We put them together on our computers to watch movies, listen to music and play games. And then? And then “fair use” will become illegal. And then we’ll invent something else.

Either way, I haven’t downloaded much music from artists in Canada anyway. Seeing as nearly all radio stations play U.S. music anyway, it’s difficult to get that kind of promotion unless you sign on with an evil label.

It is perfectly legal to download a copy of a song. It is also legal to burn that copy on a CD, put it on an iPod, or just listen to it on your PC. It is illegal to share the digital copy with someone else (such as with a P2P application), but it’s perfectly legal to burn it to CD and give the CD to a friend (!).

None of that applies to movies, games, TV shows, and the like.

if you interpret the current law to outlaw torrents then you also outlaw google and systems which permit 3rd party links

the digital revolution is underway and we are not even close to the outcome

traditional copyright principles do not apply to digital media because of important economic principles:

1. can it be easily replicated? YES
2. can it be easily substituted? YES
3. is it sustainable? NO

here is a rule which is incontrovertible

A. (outside of the USA) the law will never make an ass of itself

But then I thought about all the people who are suffering in the world, and how selfish it would be to give what little extra money I might have to such a self-serving purpose.[/quote]
So u kept it?

they say that linking to unauthorized content is copyright infrigment, because when you link it, you are a part of making it available for unauthorized distribution.

BUT!, making copyright material digital is also a way of making it available for unauthorized distribution. So in the bottom end, they, the record companies, can blame itselves for making it available for unauthorized distribution by creating digital version of it.

I thought Canada was pro-filesharing for personal use. Didn’t they legalise it? At least that’s what a Canadian person told me on some obscure forum :)[/quote]
That is for music only.

They parade around like its their material, and need to be stopped. Win or loose, let them know this, and that ya wont bend over and fork over money to fill their dirty pockets.

Whoever told you that doesn’t understand very much. Infringing on copyright laws is still illegal in Canada, it’s just that the RCMP (Canadian pigs) will not persecute people for it (though it is a civil case and not a criminal case, the pigs would not go after you for it anyway, that’s the job of high paid lawyers).

You don’t need money, you just some balls.

thanks for the idea :)

Best of luck!
