Torrents are dead and always have been, and ftp, irc and even good ole telnet will never be… shame they waste all this money, they could actually make more movies, but no lets impose infringements on people… yeh what ever… what a wasted effort.

FTW and use ftp, irc, news and if you 1337 enough telnet… i never had a problem

[...] After iiNet Victory, Where Now For Anti-Piracy Down Under? After failing to bring ISP iiNet into line with some extremely lengthy and expensive legal action, Hollywood has been left short on options in Australia. Of course, AFACT won’t give in. It is appealing the case and has resorted to sending out messages to scare Internet file-sharers. But does another organization have a different approach up its sleeve? [...]

So big entertainment wants me to pay for content? Fair enough – I’d be happy to if I knew the money was going to the creatives. But it’s not is it? No, it’s going to pay for law suits that are a waste of time and money, so they’re not protecting the artists with these lawsuits, they’re actually harming the artists financially.

“If you’re using (torrents) (we) can see every movie you want, everyone who is sharing it and everyone who has it on their hard drive,”

They can see every movie a certain IP address is requesting but that doesn’t mean it’s the owner of that IP address requesting it, nor does it mean it’s someone who is authorized to use that connection.

If someone’s PC is being controlled by trojan or their network is not properly secured, the file might never be written to a hard-disk in a household/organisation associated with a given IP address.

It could be a hacker in a different country, it could be a wifi jacker parked outside in their car.

People can also hire an internet connection and then have children or associates do things without their consent and knowledge… such as infringing copyright.

AFACT have nothing but guesses… good luck with that.

Buyused films instead of giving the assholes any more money

“promote the value of the industry by raising awareness, understanding and appreciation of intellectual property, and its role and value in society.”

“to motivate a change in public attitude away from piracy” and “encourage supporting the more than 50,000 people employed in all aspects of the industry through the enjoyment of original and legitimate film and television experiences.”

Hmm….smell corporate propaganda to me and once you get pass the image, it still stinks!

The entertainment industry is used to always getting their way, which is a big part of the problem. The reason they are wasting so much money is because that is how they have solved all of their problems in the past. Unfortunately they’ve run into an obstacle that cannot be solved no matter how much cash they throw at it. Slowly they are realizing that perhaps the honey approach might be better than the vinegar one they’ve been using up until now. However, by choosing vinegar first they’ve destroyed all good will towards them, rendering the honey approach useless. Who in their right mind, after watching everything the entertainment industry and their lawyers have done over the past decade, is going to want honey that is in all likelihood tainted? On top of that they act like a child having a temper tantrum every time they suffer a loss in court. The barely veiled threats against internet users that were issued and then promptly taken down are a perfect example of this and do nothing to engender good faith. Any industry that treats its customers like dirt deserves the karmic boomerang heading their way.

The limerick is furtive and mean
You must keep it in close quarantine
Or it sneaks to the slums
And promptly becomes
Disorderly, drunk and obscene
