I don’t see why we should be sympathetic to the music industry for their so called losses to file sharing, they should get their revenue from live concerts, which means they get paid by earning it. Just as the film industry used cinemas before the internet was born, they seemed to survive. You here tales of so called music writers who admit they wrote such and such on the bus on their way to the studio, as an 80 year old retired carpenter and joiner, I got paid to make a door, staircase or window, I don’t get paid every time someone uses them, back to the movie makers, do the chippies or the sparks and prop people get repeat payments if a film makes millions? signed Ex Studio chippy

After the echoes of OiNK’s final snort dissipated, one could hear the virtual rumbling of a new stampede

Oink is free! Jolly ole good. He will return with something. Bills need to be paid and jelly babies to be purchased and eaten.

@15 “I wish the judge would fine the MAFIAA a few millions for frivolous litigation, harassment and defamation.

And of course, force them pay poor Oink’s legal fees.”

If Fred Phelps (westboro baptist church) can have the court make Albert Snyder Pay his legal fees then this should be a slam dunk.
UnFu****g believable.

Despite that everyone who got busted ended up walking free, the prosecution of Oink was not the failure it might appear on the surface.

The site has been permanently shut down, and the people running it have been traumatized by an armed home invasion, beaten down and bankrupted by the rigors of facing criminal trial.

Through their bought-off politicians and police, the record industry got what it wanted — again.

These idiot Mafiaa/goonsquad should repool their money into a imdb based database that people could search what movies/actress/actors/movie genre they want to watch and pay to dl. I have been searching Imdb for my fav actress/actors and is mind blowing of all the movies I have NEVER heard of. But meanwhile they can run around in posse’s ruining single mothers, Grandmas, dead people and printers I guess. Just a thought. I would be willing to PAY for a awesome old movie that I cant find anywhere. Be creative and not destructive. I know some Mafiaa bitch will read this tell ya daddy…

Not a complete fail Oink is still dead
Just proves file sharing is not criminal and proves it is not stealing as many trolls like to claim. File sharing may be infringement which is civil.

We need to reform copyright The copyright pendulum is way too far to the right. There is a lot of debate about how long a copyright should be and when it should expire. In my opinion at the least they should expire on the death of the creator. Copyright was meant to protect the creator not the the creation itself.

Oho, epic win for oink! Glad to see you free and safe guys!

Hope the bill gets rejected. I can’t do much to help since I’m neither British nor living in the UK but you have my support (psychological but hey, it’s better than nothing).

cheers

When will these copyright-incompetent idiots stop pushing for frivolous lawsuits against people who are not criminals?

It’s a good thing that this case ended well for the victim, Mr. Ellis.

They’ve nearly got £20k. The publicity this will bring will be huge and if we can crush this bill, it will be an epic victory.
