“And I doubt very much if government is simply going to roll over and hand this remarkable domain over to anarchy.”

Government can not “hand over” that which they do not possess. Cyberspace has never been the property or domain of governments or corporations. Nor will it ever. It has, is, and will always be the great equalizer, the leveling of the playing field. It is owned by all and the fact that you equate ownership by all/ownership by none as anarchy exposes you as one who has no reasoning mind because you automatically assume dominion by, and subservience to, governments and corporations. You, sir, are the typical mindless drone preferring to live on your knees letting Big Brother do your thinking for you. And it is time for you to wake up and unplug. A free man reasons and thinks for himself.

Your a retard… However I think its sad that you can only download at 1-5kbps are you on dail up?!?! lol.. What private tracker are you using :P Demonoid?!? lol get SCC, GFT, TL, ScT, etc and then say that its slow! I get a minimum of 700kbps at SCC, GFT, and TL!! Most of the time I get 800kbps-2mbps anyways.. When I use my seedbox i dl at over 10 mbps.. so thats slow huh?? All I have is cable internet and I get around 1mbps on private trackers!! lol

Choose your trackers more wisely next time, sir.”

Care to give any clues which trackers these are?

I sense a trend, that, if not reversed, will result in a 1984-like police state, all due to copyright.

~~~~~~VERY TRUE~~~~~~

1080p FTW.

i’ve been there once…think it was to see Crocodile Dundee in LA

NubCakes…oh sorry i’m mean reasoned mind, you’re about to die out with the rest of the dinosaurs.

2010 is the beginning.

If “pirates” were retaliating as hard as you and the scumbags lobbyists are intending to do, you would live your last days by now.

Take the DoD case for example when the Australian Co-leader was sentanced to 51 months in America.

Yes, but that probably means PreVail was beaten to it by another group.

“…It also comments how Scene ‘Top Sites’ sell their releases to ‘criminal groups’ who then mass produce DVDs for sale. Apart from scene groups often being very anti-sale…”

The fact that scene groups are anti-commercial usage mean precisely nothing as that are not associated with top-sites directly. Traders (or couriers) are the ones that take releases from release site dumps to topsites and some topsites most certainly do have “pay to leech” accounts – which some trackers amongst others use.

“With $60,500 AUS ($39,000US or €31,000) and 5 years imprisonment per offense, that can yield a maximum sentence of over a million Aussie dollars and 90 years in prison. In fact, he’s looking at a potential punishment greater than most murderers.”

That’s true, however I seriously doubt that any judge would sentence using that maximum penalty for each offence – that would be ridiculous. He’s probably going to face some years in jail though and hefty fines.
