If the movie and music industry won’t stop subverting all those political prostitutes in the European, US and other parliaments to sell the fundamental rights of their constituents to the highest bidder, then I will surely continue to boycott them. These greedy bastards try to destroy the free Internet just to maintain their ridicules profit margins. To hell with them…

Umm, not sure that what the EFF says should be taken as fact. They are a lobbying organisation too.

All in all, probably not that surprising a response, given that the IFPI is the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry — a reactionary response from a body whose name harkens back to the earliest days of recorded sound, when discs played at 78rpm and weighed about a pound each.

Thanks anon, but I saw that :0)

I was more into the likes of larger media outlets, you know, not that there is nothing wrong with the “truth” of boingboing – just to get 2nd, 3rd, etc versions of this.

Still no linkage to anything valid regarding this. Am I just too stupid to not find the news on this or are you people into crying wolf a lot?

US copyright suck major buttholes!!!

Why do you think they can’t come up with any good material for their movies? The Ring anyone? Ju-on, One missed call. They had to go to Asia and buy remake rights for new material. I guess they got tired of reusing their stock storylines.

I am fully aware that no country, or continent, is perfect. However, I do have to give a lot of credit to the European politicians. They really debate the issues, and bring in the voice of “Nobel Prize Economist winners” into the forum of their discourse, and debates. I find the European politician to be more cultured, and educated in their speech and decisions. However, our North American politicians leaves a lot to be desired. I am actually an American, in the American soil, and have to say that our so-called politicians, very few–if any–have any culture. The majority of our North American politicians make deci$ion$ based on how much money they can get from lobbyi$t$ in Congress. It’s a shame that our American politicians can hardly have a cultured conversation, except on how much money they can get for their political campaigns. And, of course, the Corporate lobbyists jump into the opportunity of “legally” bribing the politicians into making decisions that they themselves don’t even understand the ramifications. That’s what apparently we call Democracy, here in the USA. (Don’t take me wrong. I really love living in the US. However, the major detractors of Democracy are the politicians themselves and their petty decisions that affects the whole country.
If what I am reading regarding the European Parliament’s decision on the ISPs and File-Sharing is true, I am very happy for the Europeans.

If you think BT ( or any other ISP for that matter) doesn’t keep logs of dynamic IP addr allocation, you are plain silly.

I’m disappointed. I can’t survive on my royalties any more from all this piracy.

My income has been halved. I’m only earing a maximum of $15 million per year now and finding if very hard to survive.

You are all thieves. I’m struggling to feed my family now.

If my income falls much more i’ll be on the streets with the bums.
