The lengthy legal procedure that followed came to a temporary end December last year, when a US Federal Court in California ruled that isoHunt was indeed guilty of violating US copyright law. Since the circumstances of the case were so similar to earlier ones involving Napster and Grokster, the judge decided there was no need to have a full trial and instead granted a summary judgment against isoHunt Read More : isoHunt to Appeal in MPAA Lawsuit, Sees The Lite [...]

Later, small & large reel to reel tape recorders came out, & everyone used to record each others records & record albums. Then came cassette recorders, which came built into stereo systems & you could record radio statin plays & records & record albums. Then came Beta & VHS with which you could hook up to your system & tv & record everything. Court cases ruled they were LEGAL. Now, if my VCR or DVD recorder or TV card in my computer mess up or something, & I go to a torrent site to download what messed up, I am ‘illegal’. I can set my VCR or DVD Recorder to copy music from Music Choice, or Movies or TV shows from other channels, or record movies or tv shows from a Digital TV signal, & I am ‘LEGAL’. However, gettng the very same identical thing from a torrent site makes me ‘ILLEGAL’ again??? I just do not get it???

Then I guess that’ll become a problem when Matt Damon stars in Ubantu: The Fastest Gun in Mexico.
Until then, try naming your 3 favourite amateur films on BT.

All you had to do in order to download Metallica tracks was mispell the title or something i.e. Metalica lol

copyright harms society.

Its a slow moving game but if the trend continues google will fall.
@convenient truth
MPAA did request links be removed, but they got frustrated that new ones were popping up before they could have the old removed so they did what any high and mighty corned individual would do…start sueing.
God I hate suits.
