because he’s not a self-entitled communist who thinks he deserves everything for nothing?

Be careful, do not confuse communism with a better way of living. Everything to do with money involves corruption at some level. This is FACT. You can close your eyes & believe in something else but it will not go away.

As for piracy…artists make huge amounts from box office sales and concerts. Not to mention all the other deals that go along with films and music.

If I had a creative job I would enjoy it, not because of the money but because it would be something I loved doing. The business people that try to skim off the top need to stop being greedy.

I download because I can’t afford to spend money on games and films that are over-hyped pieces of crap. The ones I spend my money on are the ones that I feel DESERVE my money and support.

It costs nothing to any company for me to download a copy of the game. And if the copy was not available I would rarely simply buy it. More of a case of ignoring it completely until it pops up in the bargin basement bin. So file sharing actually makes me buy games I’d otherwise never have looked at.

“No, we have not given permission for the content to be used. …from a post that argues that piracy helped Wolverine, and then they’ve added anti-piracy statements to the end.”

For some reason the phrase “Not in MY name” comes to mind…

I have just received another letter by these people. They completely ignored or replied to my email i sent them some 2+ weeks ago which had a SEVEN day deadline for getting in touch with me or i would consider all matters on the subject closed, they ignored it and just decided to send out a letter this past friday with more threats. I also notice i have another 21 days, the email has changed, the address has changed and they basically ignore what you say. In my defence i informed them i haven’t done what they allege and would be willing to submit my hard drive for analysis at cost to them which once done and proven beyond all doubt i would sue there asses for falsely accusing me of something and harassment. I also mentioned that i had consulted a lawyer who deals with copyright and intellectual property rights who sends these type of letters out himself and who advised me on what to put in the letter. He himself told me that you cant pay them if you haven’t done it as that is admission of the crime and as you are innocent you don’t pay. but you can agree to never download, share or electronically store any of their games in the future which i agreed to…in fact i will go out my way to never buy their games and advise others never to buy or support their games or to even humour their honey trap torrents they illegally place on websites such as mini nova!!
I also reminded them of davenport lyons ;) and asked if they knew them and that like many people on here all emails would be forwarded to watchdog at bbc tv.

ps : I know that Acs [f]law or all their admin/legal teams read and have alerts to monitor comments on the internet so could i just say this : I HAVE NEVER DOWNLOADED YOUR CLIENTS CRAPPY GAME OR ANY OF THEIR SOFTWARE, I NEVER INTEND TO AND WILL ADVISE ANYONE IN ANY GAMES SHOP I GO INTO WHO I SEE BROWSING THEM NOT TO WASTE THEIR MONEY. I AM WILLING TO HAVE MY COMPUTER HARD DRIVE SEARCHED SOLELY FOR THE NAME OF THE GAME YOU ACCUSE ME OF AND WHEN IT IS NOT FOUND I AM AFRAID THE SHOE WILL BE ON THE OTHER FOOT AND YOU WILL BE IN COURT. YOU SEND LETTERS THREATENING COURT ACTION WITHIN 21 DAYS IF IGNORED YET YOU YOURSELVES IGNORE EMAILS THAT HAVE A 7 DAY LIMIT, IT TOOK YOU 11 DAYS TO REPLY AND YOU IGNORED THE EMAIL.

Thank you torrent freak for all the articles you have been doing on this matter and hopefully these money scroungers will go back under their rock.

By the way does anyone know why they have a new address and email n phone number etc ?

Perhaps you should go back to school then as that was not clear at all.

First, look at Wolverine origins, then look at the box office gross. Then look at CAM downloads and their respective gross. Voila, increased downloads correlates with increased revenue. Or maybe you flunked math too.

Second, plagiarism is copyright theft which is worse than copyright infringement.

Third, If you believe someone is stealing your copyrighted work, you should report that to law enforcement. If you are law enforcement then you should be doing your job instead of falsely accusing people of crimes on here. If you want to inform people of the laws you are making you should have them published in the law books of your region. And if you are going to make claims back them up with references. Otherwise STFU. I’m assuming STFU means Stop Trolling For Undulation, ha ha.

lol’s funny how much it really takes for people to go beserk, to care about their own rights.

At what point does copyright take effect anyway? for example if I have say 256Kb of a 1Gb encrypted, archived (say a password protected RAR file) movie have I breached copyright? That 256Kb is meaningless without the rest of the file so would the breach occur when I reconstruct the video, when I have all the parts or just a majority of parts (even though a majority may well be useless)? If I am sharing the file, and I give somebody else 256Kb of the file am I breaking copyright law? How can it be proven that this 256Kb is copyright protected without building the complete file?

Answers would be welcome!

Cheers! and remember, sharing makes the world go ’round…

Don’t like that, Crossley? Come get some, punk.

Even the ex-president of the U.S. isn’t coy about ripping CDs why should the Joe on the streets be different?
