interspersing writing Saturn centerpiece Riordan …

Good work. Keep it up….

oh, good times….

None of you fucking idiots can spell or type. It’s simply pathetic trying to figure out what most of you even try to convey. What’s truly sad is that the opponents to pirating here are the only ones who could spell. The Pirates look and appear to be just shy of illiterate.

“Richard, remember you asked me yesterday what the defenition of irony was?”

“Yes, in fact I do!”

“Well, this is i- aargghh!”

Even more so, torrents aren’t illegal. Therefore endorsing torrents is not illegal.[/quote]

Nobody can use the “torrents aren’t illegal” statement to justify the use of torrents to acquire copyrighted works. To use one of many examples, it is illegal to send and receive marijuana and other drugs through the US Mail system. In this analogy, the marijuana (illegal) is like acquiring the copyrighted work (also illegal) and the US Mail system is akin to the torrent system.

Another example: if you are transporting illegal drugs in the trunk of a car, you are subject to the prosecution by the law. Cars are not illegal, but that does not mean you gain immunity simply because the drugs were located in a car as opposed to on your person. Any car dealership that sells its vehicles with the knowledge that they will be used to transport drugs is also subject to prosecution. By this logic, a site like Mininova is committing a crime. I wish it weren’t true but it is, and no matter how much you dislike the RIAA, it’s hard to ignore the truth of the law.[/quote]

Very entertaining.. “truth of the law” – that’s a classic.

Anyway, your point is that we should take down the entire postal infrastructure and while we are at it, sue the hell out of car manufacturer just because we can prove the crimes are being commitment.

How about the firm that makes road signs: “Columbia 1542 miles” fried![/quote]

I think Scott’s point was that the postal service and car manufacturers are not inherently illegal, but using a non-illegal service for an illegal purpose is a punishable act.

grab them by the balls and make them hurt
lets get some money back for the bit torrent people :D

so tbh it doesnt really bother me. if they cant even quote right, how do you expect them to catch illegal filesharers.

They deserve nothing less.

But I think it’s the lawyers who are winning the most right now guys. . .

You realize how RIDICULOUS that sounds?!![/quote]
I completely agree, this is moronic, Taking words from a blog is the same thing as taking digital content of any form. to sue someone for doing something that you report on, on a regular basis and have an obvious objection on the anti piracy law suits is just plane stupid. and shows that your not thinking clearly.

Actually, plagiarism can and does refer to “forgetting” to cite sources. People need to remember this especially when writing academic papers.

Put them in jail !

the fact that alanis morrissette doesnt use irony in her lyrics for the song ‘ironic’ IS THE IRONY OF THE SONG.

get it?

AFAIK Torrentfreak is published under the Creative Commons licence, and as they attributed the source (albeit incorrectly) they haven’t strictly don wrong. In any case, what losses can be proved as a consequence?

But it does highlight their own hypocrisy, not that this was ever in any doubt. Despite the lameness (and inaccuracy) of their cowingly inaccurate press notice, it is reassuring to know that they are reading T/F :-)

And I would not know of any other reason why TF would be illegal under dutch law.

Even if TF is unable to win a court-case about this, it’s very obvious that BREIN took a quote, and put it in a VERY subjective way according to their own needs. Though not illegal, it is dubious at the very least.

Just wanted to make a short notice on:
[quote]In the press release they refer to TorrentFeak as a “pirate weblog”[/quote]
“een weblog voor Internetpiraten”, says “a weblog for pirates”. Which is but an oppinion and not really an attack on the blog here.
One might say this blog’s targeted public are indeed pirates.

Just wanted to say that.

What Dutch product is being shared actually? NOTHING because nobody gives a damn about Dutch media and nobody wants to download it…Maybe a couple Tiesto songs (which i hate).

I hope you win TORRENTFREAK![/quote]

Hey, I like Dutch movies! Hehe! :D
You just have to find the right tracker for them. ;)

Learn to fucking spell before you say anything.

Beerenburgje erbij??

Suing would require TorrentFreaks owners public exposer though, which could be even more troublesome…

I don’t know if the content of TerrentFreak is perfectly legal in nl, but if is:

Do it for the rest of us

she knows about oposites and counterpoints and bad luck though
