why?

Now if every other little “whining pirate” actually took action like him we’d start to see some social change.

In the meantime every other LAZY douche on the net will just sit there …

on the net … doing NOTHING to preserve its beauty and freedom.

Making noise for our rights is a million times more far reaching than sitting back and criticizing the man for fighting back.

Stop being a narrow minded pussy and make some noise of your own there “king kong”.

I fear that Gary Fung’s efforts will be in vain, and isohunt is appearing on radar for imminent strike following demonoid and others.

“Really? What’s the difference? 20 millions dollars instead of just one million dollar? EVERYONE can be bought, supreme judges included. It’s just a matter of how much you offer them…”

Poster above’s quote. I wish isohunt the best and am glad there are people fighting for my rights to have fair use, have back ups of dvd’s so I don’t need to rip them myself but rather click torrents to download, and can’t wait till open source parties work their way into parliament like pirate parties do.

http://www.opensourceg.com is my 15 dollar domain holding idea. Just thought voting alongside our politicians is in order. I want better transparency on issues that matter to this tax paying citizen.

Voting every 5 years ain’t enough! 3 days after election the winner is bought so we need accountability THROUGHOUT the 5 years of their term. Major spending, new proposed laws (voted on by the public BEFORE the House of Commons votes on it, THEN we can see who the snakes are)

Would love some help. Happy to walk to Modor, just don’t know the way. (maybe a few guys /w an axe, bow and swords can help a brotha out ;)

http://www.opensourceg.com :D

no one with 1/6 of a brain wants an open network, that enables ‘everyone and his dog’ as well as the last ‘technically challenged’ person to be able to get every last bit of digital data in a snap..

so the destruction of all p2p networks isn’t only a work done by mpaa and riaa, but every member of the scenepolice..
all those sites generating $$$ with their ads and massive userbase have to -and will- GO.. filehosting sites are next.. then comes usenet.. and finally.. it’s back to peace, where friends -and only they- share what they have, in a competition that generates fun and knowledge.

unfortuantely some of them are actually retarded.

I suspect that Isohunt will win this case, only to be blindsided later on by changed copyright laws if/when the ACTA treaty comes into effect.

Just kidding, good luck Gary. Isohunt does have some junk on it, you just have to be smarter than a stapler to figure out which files are good or not. Maybe a little bran in your diet would help clear things up so you can see better.

What are you talking about you silly person?

The Pirate Bay crew said that. And they lost. As well as others. They all think the law is on their side, but the corporations have more money to bribe judges and politicians. This is just sad. Although if ISOHunt did disappear, I could care less. They have too many fake files asking you to download some sort of media player and opening a web page. If they filtered their crap files better, then maybe I would give a shit.

That was one the best summaries of Canadian copyright law I have ever seen on TF. You won the board.

Gary Fung: You have my sword!

It’s sad that we live in a world where people go to work and earn money, while other people don’t pay anything and get off the hook by explaining to a judge what a seeder or a peer is.

I am going to launch my torrent site in the coming months. But I really do not have the balls to set it up in Canada. I will set it up in mainland China.

I really admire his courage to challenge CRIA. Great job!!!

Once he sets up an successful example, I will move my site back.

It has already been proven in Canada in 2005 that downloaders are not directly liable for copyright infringement and that our massive levy on blank CDs — blank DVDs are exponentially cheaper than blank CDs — pays for the ‘many’ that download music.

This has set the precedent in Canada for the CRIA’s underhanded approach of lobbying the government, cautiously avoiding the Canadian court system, wary of its verdict on similar cases.

isoHunt is currently protected. They do everything within their capability to remove infringing ‘links’ (not even required by current legislation) and do not encourage or condone copyright infringement, and moreover do not host infringing files.

While ‘linking’ to copyright infringing material — the established definition used for the RIAA lawyers’ misdirection — may be questionable or even illegal in the United States, it is not in Canada, by current legislation.

isoHunt wants to push this through the courts as fast as they can before the CRIA is able to force corrupt politicians to alter the law in their favor.

With any luck, isoHunt will get a verdict before the CRIA has duped the Conservatives into signing into law the industry’s skewed interpretations of what is right, which are overwhelmingly denounced by the Canadian public.
