I know some think the ISP's shuoldn't get involved, but I disagree. Stealing music is like stealing anything else so if the ISP's could filter piracy, why not? If we knew there was child porn roaming around and ISP's could filter it all out with a switch, no one would object. Why is it so different when people steal music instead?

So if I make a phone call to a friend and agree to make him a copy of a DVD that week, is the phone company part of the problem? And when I drive to meet him at his house, is the car company I bought the car from and the government whose roads I drove on responsible?

It doesn't matter. You wont be able to buy a copy of music soon anyway. Then you wont be able to download it because it will all be streaming. THEN you won't even own your own computers and storage either. Then the robots take over.

In any case, this strength in numbers can never come into good effect if these people never come in contact with each other. What needs to be done first is to get in contact with everybody to exchange ideas on what could be done. My e-mail address is aworldwithoutsnowflakes1@gmail.com and perhaps we could exchange ideas on what could be done.

"Society for Sharing"
"Society" to emphasize that it is a semi-organized social group.

I find the Facebook groups somewhat lackluster, most likely because they are somewhat obscured by being a Facebook group, and so on. I think that a simple online forum could do better. My e-mail address is aworldwithoutsnowflakes1@gmail.com – perhaps we could get in contact to exchange ideas on what could be done.

" online social group "

Facebook and Myspace already have a handful of TPB and Pro-Sharing social groups.

Someone should set up a online forum, a message board to share these ideas. This would be the social group as you said. There are going to be bandwidth costs for such a site, but I'm sure a donation meter or something to that effect could cover it if the operating cost were presented outright to the users and visitors to the site. Now…we just need a catchy name… lol i leave that up to you ….

i would advise against that WTF as roze doesn't appear to have any ability whatsoever in crafting websites. the one he sometimes links to looks like an 8th grade effort…at best.

The first step towards "Strength In Numbers" is for these people to get in contact with each other. After all, nothing gets done if there is no exchange of ideas, no pooling of resources (like money, power, and "voice"). Perhaps it could start by forming a simple online social group for the exchange of ideas on how to effect change, like an online forum or something. Perhaps you and I could get in contact sometime for this.

Yeah, I guess it is communist to deny that Rock Stars making $20 million each month are going to starve and deserve the drugs and sex that they are denied when people file-share.

Why the Fuck is everyone talking about Alienating Eircom?? Get some BALLS and stand behind them. Fuck the Big Four.
When are we going to stand up against these Pricks and show them that they can't control Shit.
Ever heard of SIN ?? "Strength In Numbers"
Are we all just going to continue to let these jackass control what we do. It's time to step up. Rise up and be heard, or we can just bow down to these fuckers and let them dictate to us what will happen.

SIN… There are Millions of people sharing files and NO One will stand up. We have to become organized in some fashion if we want to continue to have our Internet Freedom

I just don't undrestand.

I met Denis Curran several years ago, only the Music Industry could think that his comment was anything other than having a laugh with his mates. In fairness no ISP should be monitoring the contents of the packets, anyway decent encryption will block them if they did. Will be interesting to see if the jury understand what they are listening to….
