Somebody apparently thinks I bothered to download <i>Just Cause</i>, which would be a waste of bandwidth, methinks. Eidos is doing it, too.

Remember when they were more or less an obscurity on the Genesis with their oddly shapped carts? Boy did their games suck then, and they still do today. LucasArts is doing the same thing. I think it was a previous posting here that someone commented that they got an email from their ISP about them downloading the newest Lego Star Wars game.

I mean im sure they catch alot of people in the act of downloading but its just not profitable in any way to sue them since alot of people might not have the money. Or in some cases why risk a law suit with someone who can potentially fight back and win? Makes me think, who decides who they go after?

Making it available to the public is technically a violation of copyright law. You cant prove that the defendant would have bought whatever product had they not had acces to it online, at least not without putting a gun to the persons haed. They got her on a technicality and for basically being stupid. There is a whole slew of ways she could have fought and won her case, but didnt. Stupid is, im afraid, as stupid does, and for giving in, shes pretty stupid. they got her with uploading, there is no us law that says you cant download, at least not yet, and had they went after her for only downloading they would not have been able to prove a loss, which is what copyright is meant for, protecting loss.

So, even if they could not go after simple DLers (which I doubt), you are uploading through BT as well...

Last time I checked BMG vs. Cecilia Gonzalez (http://info.riaalawsuits.us/documents.htm#BMG_Gonzalez) the RIAA sued this woman for downloading and "making availiable". Since the RIAA can not prove any actual uploading to others then their own "investigators" in those cases against non BT program users, you can fairly say they DO sue for (alledgedly) downloading and "making availiable". And now in a case where you use BT you are automaticly an uploader by design!! P.S. This woman was sentenced to 22.500 USD simply for DOWNLOADING these 30 songs! (she admitted that she had downloaded them. The plaintiffs did not prove any illegal uploading!)

Sure, it's a violation of copyright to upload and thus make public, but their lawyers have to know that you cant show loss in any way for downloading something, which is why even the RIAA hasnt tried to sue people for downloading, their not that stupid. Granted their still pretty stupid, just not that stupid. All this is, is EA trying to spook people away from getting a game that noone is paying for anyways. If your gonna hit people up about grabbing your stuff for free, at least make it something that doesnt suck. EA sports..... It's all a game...
