I run a DC hub and this scares the shit out of me. I looked up laws and was fairly certain that hub owners were safe due to the “safe harbor” rule. Yes, we run the hub, but the content on the hub is all provided by third party users. We are not responsible for what gets shared, the users are.

How this was allowed to happen is madness. The hub owner is not responsible in any way for what the users share.

End result: the Finnish taxpayer gets screwed a second time, after funding the kangaroo court as well.

If you are Finnish you can thank the IFPI for diverting your tax-Euros away from say schools and hospitals. They are stealing from the Finnish people. Fins are now certainly morally entitled to pirate whatever they like in compensation.

These two innocent people now have their lives totally destroyed for a fallacy, and it’s sooooooo unfair my friends. I feel for them, and their plight.

This stupid and brutal economic system has to go, and be replaced with something more social, equitable and fair. The brutality of keeping people in poverty MUST cease.

on special offer this week the babies are £3 for a bag of 5, or 10 for a fiver … how many bags do you want?

And I’m afraid to say that such a question has already passed through my failing grey cells too, and if these MAFIAA thugs keep going down the aggressive path they’re currently following (and somehow getting governments and Courts to back them so far), then they will need to increase the unit price of their movies and music tracks etc to pay for the additional security from their own customers. That would be us – the paying public.

So music, art, movies, etc is not for the poor and underprivileged because it takes money to obtain such access, and current economic system creates and relies upon the vast majority of people being exploited for their work and in return a minimum amount of cash so that the value you create is stolen by those who own you.

The MAFIAA know this, and are simply using it to their advantage as any group of sociopathic, cash-diseased servants of Mammon would.

So I too am prepared to goto jail for uploading and sharing “their” so-called property that they fooled the artists into parting with by their devilish lawyers and contracts. Care to join me and the other few billion who the MAFIAA wish to deny?

This makes my blood boil.. the rights holders are never the winners
