[...] File-Sharing Admin Convicted For Crime He Didn’t Commit Last week a 22 year-old was sentenced to 6 months jail for running a file-sharing site carrying links to copyright works. On the surface it appeared that court ruled that due to placing advertising on the site, the admin had profited from infringement and therefore committed a crime, but all is not as it seems. [...]

Its all about intimidation. The RIAA will hunt down any one using P2P, so the best way to stay ahead is to use sites that let you privately share your files with friends. That way if the RIAA wants to see what I’m sharing they’d have to get a subpoena. I think that http://www.myotherdrive.com lets you set up security groups for who can see your files.

I’m from spain and all the newspapers and tv are manipulating the information to make it seems that it’s the end of p2p and the guy is really guilty.

Oh.. motherfuckers…

#47 He won’t go to jail. It is a 6 months conviction, and it is his first criminal conviction, so the Spanish law states that he won’t go to prison.

Of course he can travel and work.

A bad settlement, but not so bad as you think.

I don’t believe this. No one is so stupid as to take PRISON over a court judgement they can’t pay.

It’s not just 6 months in at the pound you in the ass hotel, it’s a lifetime record. Travel, employment, it’s never ending what your caught off from.

After prison he won’t be the same.

His lawyer telling him this was a good thing is also, REALLY out there.

These assholes BLACKMAILED him to state he commited a crime which according to spanish law he did not.

I can’t begin to state my anger at these people and their dirty methods of FUD, intimidating an terrorising people like us who help others do file-sharing …

This shows how a judicial system can be set up in a way that poor people with little resources to endure years of trials de facto don’t get equal treatment before the law.

This stinks to high heaven.

Shame on the media industry for their bullying. May they realise how futile their FUD is on a big scale.

“… a person has been found guilty of something that was not an offense …,” says a concerned David Bravo.
———————————–
INACCURATE + MISLEADING TRANSLATION
———————————–
Kuve was not ‘found’ guilty, but as a dumb tactic pre-emptively pleaded guilty, thus he convicted himself of a ‘crime’ for which he technically could never have been found guilty, in order to avoid fighting a *potential* civil lawsuit.
This is why DB actually said: “…una persona se ha declarado culpable de algo que no era delito…” and Kuve should sue his idiotic lawyer as soon as he gets out of prison.

Just when they think they have a win.. PSYCH..

The only time they have ever won is when the defendant doesnt have any money or time to defend himself.

The funny thing is, the artists themselves say they get minimal profit from CD sales: if people like your music they will you to your concerts, and THAT’s where money is for artists. And they don’t get a penny from legal mp3 downloads, because their old-fashioned contracts don’t mention internet distribution. Big companies are getting all the profits.

For proof, just google “La Excepción”, the spanish hip hop band that just left their big soul-sucking company precisely because of that. They’ve put their last CD for free on the internet, and they’re counting on concerts to earn real money.

I still don’t understand how a guilty ruling can occur if the law says no wrong has been done. You can’t plead guilty to a crime that isn’t one. That’s like trying to plead guilty to sitting in the sun.

So, uh, what exactly did happen here?

@22:

Hey “Judge Dredd”, by reading the above article and comments, the spanish criminal judges obviously doesn’t agree with you, so unless some divine entity made you jury, judge and executioner, why don’t you keep your fascist antisocial ranting to yourself asshole!!
