and it took me 3 minutes to make a VERY VERY scarey looking ip list screenshot with utorrent

further proof that not only can such evidence be faked that with more time you could make it impossible to tell

in other words all evidence using computer screen shots cannot be reasonable evidence of a crime as there is reasonable doubt as to authentication of said evidence being heresy

I see the end of DRM looming.

But I’m sure they’d like to, god forbid somebody would copy a movie they legally bought onto their own media center!

Actually, on the HP themed case they warned the woman because she was actually making money out of the party and it was themed with their copyrighted stuff. However the action they took was a shot in the foot as she just had to change the words to make it legal and they got quite a few angry people turning against them. Bad marketing move. The sensible thing would be toe explain the situation to the promoter of the party and asking to offer HP official products to the people in the establishment to make things legal. Easy, painless and good for their image. I’ve come across some kiddy super heroes themed party here where they were getting $10 per head to cover the expenses. Technically you can’t prove all the money was used to the party…

Anyway, the point Mr Anderson is trying to show the world is how copyright laws need revision. So far he has succeeded into drawing people’s attention to the matter. He has steel balls for sure if you considered how far the media industry can go to suck money from the people. However it is also true he left them in a very delicate position where any path they take is a losing one. If they sue they’ll ruin their image even more, if they don’t they will lose money and admit their methods are wrong. Either way the damage has been done and the word has been spread.

Let us hope it leads to a sensible review of the laws and maybe, just maybe, the industry is knocked back to its sense and starts finding a business model that can co-exist with the so called ‘piracy’ actually giving them money. Ideas for that can be found reading consumers and pirates opinions. And that’s one of the things that make internet a so damn wonderful thing.

I guess the solution is buy the media and download the media. That way you have a digital copy which you did not personally break the drm.
