10% is a fair amount to receive when the label is doing 90% of the work for you when it comes to distribution.

However, if they’re only doing 50% of the work…

I have no faith whatsoever in the legal system seeing some trials lately, mistrials, judges that simply cannot be unsided…

If they go on, this will be much further widespread than just music (and thus money as that is all it is about here). People will lose faith in justice systems if they keep making misinformed and simply strange decisions like they are…

That a big LIE. You (CRIA, RIAA, etc.) don’t care at all about the artists, in fact, you have been underpaying to the artists by at least the last 50 years, paying to the musicians that you “supposedly” represent less than 10% of the sale of each album; and the rest 90% is for you, the parasites middle-men from the record industry.

The only persons who deserve to go to the jail are the parasites of the CRIA and RIAA, for being THIEVES.

Remember what TPB said – “we will never close, no matter what happens to us TPB will continue to operate”. Well, they were certainly wrong about that.”

Are they offline? no.

Many will just come up with more clever ways to distribute them. I am still shocked at how many people try to justify torrent distribution when we all know that 99.99% of it is for copyright infringment distribution.

Be honest with yourselves. I mean you don’t think organizations, governments and companies are going to try and stop these sites?

Just continue to come up with innovative ways to distribute and obtain the files if you really want them.

You want to find a middle-ground? Here’s a place to start: stop pushing 12 POS tracks on me for $30, and then telling me that I’m not allowed to cut it up, mash it up, and stick on whatever I want. I had made an AMV with a Johnny Cash song and stuck on Youtube; it wasn’t even the full song, yet the video was *muted* for copyright infringement.

You want a middle-ground? Get your lips off that corporate cock and get me my fucking coffee like I paid you to do, Starbucks. I’ll stop sharing music, movies, and games when I stop getting fucked out of my money by corporations.

… Tarraa all – off to nzb ssl land – till they abuse that too …
(but can THEY … SSL is surely secure… OR NOT …. )

SSL without anonymity is secure as to whom you connect the other party could be anyone.

It only offer security against wiretapping or man in the middle attacks it does nothing to protect you from the party you are connected to.

Prob also keep copies of BT-Junkie and admins, keep your site backed up & users keep site backups of your fav sites. Who knowes, it could be your fav site next to close. Better safe then sorry. Pirate on Mateys!

Our Government is in the middle of copyright consultations across the country and online. They plan to introduce a new copyright bill that should clarify all this in the fall. The last two attempts at copyright updating did favour the industry, but both died on the order of the paper when an election was called and this new bill (whether balanced or not) looks like it will have a similar future.

Also worth noting that “loses appeal” is with a motion in court procedures. We wanted to make things easy for the court and CRIA, we weren’t allowed so too bad. Don’t get the wrong idea that we lost an appeal to a trial or something, we are no where near a trial yet.

We’ve been fight this for a long time and this is going to be slow cases. North American courts are way more clogged up than in Europe I think

1) TPB had no case when they flashed their butts at copyright owners on takedown requests. We (isoHunt.com) respected copyright owners from the get go before TPB was even around.

2) We’ve been sued by the MPAA 3.5 years ago (and recently with CRIA), long before either TPB or Mininova’s cases and we are still fighting these suits. TPB’s case? Twice the spectacle, twice the fall and in half the time (figuratively speaking)

3) Verdict in Mininova’s case is coming up this month, will see results soon enough. They have a much stronger case than TPB

I’m not saying that I disagree with TPB’s notion that copyright currently is insane, we do and success of the Pirate Party is certainly interesting. But laws are laws and I don’t believe copyright will go away entirely (or should). We are trying to find a middle ground between you guys (consumers, if you will) and the copyright holders so don’t accept defeat just yet.

all that’s pure BS.

Even the independent record labels in Canada can’t stand CRIA. I think it’s insulting that they have Canada in their name. Unfortunately corporations with their incestuous love affairs with governments will keep going and they will keep their power to screw people over.

It’s sad to see that corporation greed still is more important than in individual’s rights and freedoms

The name is changing, but the ship is still sailing.

Corrupt justice systems and greedy organizations > Normal civilians. That’s the sad truth, hosting .torrent files is legal, but why do torrent sites lose? It’s because of corrupt sh!t.

CRIA is full of CRIAp.

it’s faire
