From Dutch website webwereld:

‘News Service CEO Schreurs says they are unaware of illegal activities on their servers, but meanwhile he removed the tags ‘pirate’ and ‘ ftd lover’ from his twitter profile…’

Quite funny (and dumb if you ask me).

Agreed, Usenet is far from dead and with new innovations like unzbin and usenet + vpn systems just as one quick example – Usenet is growing – and gaining momentum

@AnarchyNow, nice name you fool. Pay the prices, do without or die for all I care, if you can’t pay anything.

At the moment it’s just the content industries you are ripping off, but the government losing their taxes is catching up and soon the entire world will be sick of your thieving free-for-all and you’ll be marginalized forever going forward. The internet will mirror the real world and there is NOTHING AnarchyNow lol can ever do about it. Suck on that for awhile.

If usenet providers stat filtering, they will go out of business, it’s rather the time for the worse than nazi record/movie industry to go out of business instead of being leaches who kill millions of people a year just because they’re too poor to pay anything.

“demanding that the company ceases to offer copyright material or face fines of 50,000 euros per day.”

No one should be able to threaten another company that is not breaking the law with fines if they do not do what they want.

In reality it is the copyholders who facilite copyright infringment by pushing their work in a public place

[...] In recent months there have been several attempts by anti-piracy groups to force file-sharing sites to filter links from their systems. But now in a bold move by Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN, there are demands that a Usenet provider should proactively filter infringing content from the worldwide newsgroup system. Read ahead [...]

Totally agree with 18.Combine forces and fight like hell.If not the guerrilla tactics of Brein will do enormous damage long term.Any success they achieve will be perceived by courts as “setting a precedent”Courts have in the past been most reluctant to set precedents as it changes the future.It seems though,that Brein is able to overcome this reluctance!

@#30
biggest problem with that is each country seems to be able to ignore what they want and adopt what they want from the directive, eg France, Italy. when the entertainment industry finds that a country hasn’t used the bits IT wants, the lobbying begins to get the law changed. picking off individual countries undermines the EU exactly the same way as picking off small companies does. eventually they have to fight the biggest one(s) but already have a good head start!

As usually Brein goes after the small guys they thing they can crunch just like the bullies they are.

Hopefully they will break more teeth on this one just as it happen when they tried to bit TBP.

This is another lesson for usenet teaching them not to negotiate with terrorists.

this is is from THE EU The Copyright Directive from what i read the dutch implemented it into law pretty much as directive was written

one limitation is obligatory:
transient or incidental copying as part of a network transmission or legal use. Hence internet service providers are not liable for the data they transmit, even if it infringes copyright. The other limitations are optional, with Member States choosing which they apply. All limitations must be applied in accordance with the Berne three-step test, that is in certain special cases which do not conflict with a normal exploitation of the work and which do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the rightholder

If what i found is correct brein has no leg too stand on

I too would like to see those fuckers go after someone else than the widow & orphan and the poor.
Someone of your own size, and not just bully the little guy who has no money and lawyer.
Yes please, go after Giganews.
This is going to be extremely interesting to see if you can musel free speech and kill Usenet.
Please do try BREIN please do, I dare you fuck!!! try it

@#25
if we are not careful, that is exactly what we will be seeing. trouble is, there will have been so many smaller sites shut down, there will only be the big sites left. all the previous victories will make the court think that there must be illegal activities going on so down will go the big sites. end of internet!! dont leave it too late people.
@#21
doesn’t matter how many of us there are in relation to them, as long as the many do nothing, the few will win every time! the longer nothing is done to resist the actions against web site closures and file sharing, the harder it is going to be to claw anything back!

I’d love to see BREIN up against a multi million dollar company who can afford expensive lawyers etc , they’d piss their pants. Afterall lets face it , they only win coz they have money behind them and take on $hitty little companies that have no way to defend themselves. Sorry to say this BREIN but you’re just like a schoolyard bully , you take on the little weaklings who can’t defend themselves and that just makes you look pathetic and weak.

how many times has this same argument been used before and still the web site was forced to shut? how many minor sites have been targeted first to test the water, before the bigger sites are taken on, using the ‘little’ victories as reference to influence the court rulings? they are on a hiding to nothing and so is every other file sharing web site unless they all get together and fight as one unanimous body. how many sites have got to lose in court and be forced to close down before they get it into their thick brains that there is no other way of wining? wake up before it is too late!! jeez!!

If a legal requirement to filter perfectly, as was the case with Mininova, is implemented against News-Service (on pain of 50,000 euros per day in fines) the company could not carry this burden for long. If BREIN gets their way, Schreurs says the company will have to stop providing Usenet access.

Which is exactly what they want.
