“As of this writing no one has convinced me that copyright such as it is is fundamentally wrong.”

Copyright isn’t fundamentally wrong. However, the extremes that this ‘fight against piracy’ is being taken to is wrong. Let’s face facts: we have been being GOUGED by the movie, music and game companies for YEARS now, so long that most people don’t even realize that they are being gouged anymore because they have grown up being gouged by these industries.

Anonymous writes “It is very important to change whatever minds we can so that we can establish a voting coalition. Somebody please do this.” I am open to hearing your arguments. As of this writing no one has convinced me that copyright such as it is is fundamentally wrong. But I always try to be open to new ideas – please bring them forthwith! At the moment I don;t hear any quality arguments defending the rights of copyright pirates that sways me in the least – just a lot of people asserting without justification that they should be allowed to have work that others have spent time and money on, for free – even when it is clear that the providers want to be paid for their work.

I see there are people making comments here that are far brighter than the lawyers representing the accused. I think the lawyers should resign together with the judge or I shall suspect there may be something smelly between the two parties!!!

I think this is hilarious because just yesterday everyone was criticising Indiana Gregg for asking questions about this very issue. I think it’s fucking hilarious. All those people saying no, it will never happen. Then, there was other ISP’s like Virgin sending letters out to their clients and also that now Youtube has to hand everybody’s IP addresses over. I think that your IP address is similar to a passport in some ways. I can’t watch shows on BBC iplayer when I’m not in the UK. They block me from doing it.

I am not very good at website design, but I have attempted to create a pledge for people who are willing to struggle for a cause, so that there might be a chance that we could take action collectively.

It is at http://www.28chan.org/pledge.php

What do you people think?

So what does that say about guns and bullets? (Old argument) Do the manufactures there facilitate the committing of a crimes with weapons? Do we need to shut them down? I just am concerned about this ruling and how it may effect other areas.

This ruling doesn’t mean anything. I’ll still support fileshares.

shibirian — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 06:16:48 +0000

so let me get this straight; filesharing and infringing copyrights is forbidden and evil, but selling child-porn and zoophilia-porn, guns and pot on any of amsterdam’s streetcorners to anyone who wants (without a license or else) is alright and good.

the people netherlands really suck. big time! >:-(

I think this is a signal to all torrent tracker admins: lock your shit down! Use fake details and a service like WebMoney that will allow you to submit payment through less tracable methods. As a user of many trackers private and public I say this to you: we really appreciate all that you do, but its not worth you going to prison or getting huge fines! Clean up your acts, stop posting your pictures in the forums, don’t tell people your IRL name, and above all use fake payment details. The powers that be are angry as fuck that the information age has become the free information age. We love what you do and it isn’t terribly hard to protect yourselves. Trust me, we can deal with small amounts of downtime if we know our favourite uploaders aren’t going to jail!
