…the Court of Paraná, Brazil!

Hip-hip hooray!

Brazil is retarded.

Nonsense. Most piracy in Brazil is on the streets where people sell CDs full of mp3 openly without even caring about the authorities – I`ve seen some guys selling copies of many software right beside a police post. The prices of the content are also completely out of the Brazilian reality and blocking a program will not increase sales. Also, even if all street sales were miraculously stopped the increase in sales would be unnoticeable because the people who buy stuff on the streets won`t buy original media either for money reasons or because they have other priorities. Internet has not reached the point where digital media is mass consumed there. Again, that declaration is nonsense.

As mentioned in the comments here, there are several other programs that are completely out of Brazilian jurisdiction. Also, any program that enables people to share files will replace the banned program. About 10% of my songs came by e-mail from my friends and 6Gb of mp3 is not what I’d call small.

Again the media industries show how alienated from reality they are. It`s a lost battle unless they are willing to change their way of doing business and make it clear who they are selling to, the masses or a bunch of people that can actually afford the high prices. If they aim at those people then there is no need to be worried with piracy – when people have the money they actually buy the stuff.

Idiot Brazilian court’s should have done more research and same for other courts before proceeding, p2p is just not about damn music , movies and apps.

It’s the job of judges to make police now?

Even for Brazil that may be a bit troubling since judges can define an order anything the brazilian courts are effectively making police and they are acting like congress doesn’t exist LoL

How a judge can turn anything into something illegal without the say so of the congress of that country?

I don’t know. While were OT, is Castro still alive?

However, I think it’s a scary precedent to start banning software that has both legal and illegal uses.

What’s next, banning cell phones because they are used by criminals to communicate or by terrorists as detonators for IED’s?

I guess theyll ban calling your friends too (cause thats p2p, technically =P)

Do society a favour. *sigh*

Viva la Pirat Byran <3

And they dare to care about a website distributing P2P software. My Country is joke, ruled by a corrupt drunkard >_>.

Fuck them

ROFL, its starting to become obvious that there is an urgent need of tech savy judges, not only in Brazil.

Aye! lets nuke it all. Then there would only be the insectoid kind of cockroaches running the planet.

Lets make this clear.

WE ARE WINNING THE WAR AGAINST “COPYRIGHT” & “INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY”;
Seven million ‘pirates’ in the UK alone (that’s the number ‘THEY’ give us extrapolated from 136 peeps)= civil disobedience on a MASSIVE scale.

THEY ARE LOSING.
As much as their muppets on TF try to diminish and marginalize us. Its not working. Napster was ten years ago. “What have you done for me lately?”(Janet Jackson)… Its all PROPAGANDA.

Our civil disobedience is killing them. More peeps learn how to torrent every day.
We are not a ‘minority’ In fact we are a MAJORITY!= see; Canada, Spain & Italy.(nevermind Ukraine, Russia, Latvia,Bulgaria and dare I say China etc.) We are growing while they DIE.

If their ‘PROPERTY’ really had actual VALUE they would take steps to protect it from ‘ILLEGAL’ distribution like Fort Knox does with all that gold.

This Brazilian ruling will do nothing. Except now you’ll have to slip the concierge 20$ before torrenting on the hotel network.(so corrupt, I love it)

To those who say that the content creators need a new business model I say its already here.Simply put it is;
Litter your VALUABLE goods around carelessly, wait for folks to ‘pilfer’ it and then SUE one unlucky bastard in ten thousand to try to recoup cost…errr=massive failure. They always seem to be suing the broke,dead and innocent people, generating bad PR. Its a huge mistake to alienate/crimminalize your customer, the hand that feeds and all that.

there’s a chunk of imaginary property. I’m sharing it. Kill me.

p.s you know those FBI warnings you get “$100.000 thoused fine + 5 year jail” that little scare tactic is blown away by the 8th amendment

The most they can do is block the sites that offer the downloads, they all the users have to do is use a proxy to get it and carry on as normal. Insane.

The beauty of the universe is to be found in paradox, chaos and unpredictability. In truths no one really quite knows.

Go grab all those human-tech signal waves emanating outward away from Earth and get them back.
Don’t forget the ones that bounce and the ones that bounce from the bounces… and the ones that are recorded by distant civilizations, amplified, maybe re-encoded, remashed, and sent back toward Earth.

Send them cease-and-desists.

and “so what..really”, go fuck yourself. there are some places in the world that are a million times better than your shitty middle class suburb.

So they can’t get it from a Brazilian site – they’ll just have to get it somewhere else..

And no offense to Brazil but it seems that this perhaps ought not be a priority for police there..

I am sure all Brazilians who have internet access will continue sharing just as before…

Hope this won’t be a trend in the BRIC countries though.
