More (of the same) Filesharing Lawsuits in Europe
Written by Ernesto on April 04, 2006Today the IFPI announced a new wave of lawsuits (2000) in Europe. But how new is this wave? It seems like they keep suing the same people over and over again. If you compare today’s press release with the one they put out last year you will see that in both cases they sued a “German judge”, a “British Councilor” and a “French Chef”. What a coincidence!
Ok, I have to agree, it seems like the French chef got a promotion because last year he or she was just a cook.
Here are two fragments from both press releases.
Those who are paying the price of piracy include a German judge, a French cook and a British local councilor.
A wide variety of people are finding themselves on the receiving end of legal action and paying large financial penalties. They include a Finnish carpenter, a British postman, a Czech IT manager, a German judge, a French chef, a British local councillor and a retired German couple.
Sure, I know that these “lively” examples are just a propaganda tool that is used to make us feel vulnerable. But still, they could have been a little more creative.
Ok, I have to admit, the postman, carpenter and the retired couple are new, and very appealing. They replaced last years nurse, truck driver and car salesman. But I wonder why they sue the retired couple as “a couple”. How does that work? Did they share a single windows account or what?
Well, I think the bottom line is that the IFPI announced 2000 new lawsuits, so we all should be very scared. Everybody is vulnerable, and the next person that’s going to be sued could be YOU.

I think they’re missing the Polish proxenete!! Or what???
I’ll recommand last David Icke book “Infinite Love is the only true…”…some good humour there too…
Ahhh! I myself am a French Chef! Could I be next! Ahhh… hehehe…..
Don’t worry shade, the French Chef has already been caught. Unless you get a promotion (is there even anything above the chef!?) you won’t get caught in the next wave.
Some people told me french sluts are downloading a lot!?
No no no, you guys got it all wrong.
This is the way it works…
They do a Google search cleverly titled “professions list judge” and randomly choose the first 20 they see. Note: The reason ‘judge’ is in the search criteria is because they want us to believe that no matter who you are you’ll be *giggle* ‘caught’ *giggle*.
They proceed to choose the names of a few nations in Europe at random. A highly ineffecient and non-random algorithm is then written (by the IFPI chairman’s secretary whilst giving him a blowjob under the desk) to select professions on their list for their scaremongering.
To cut a long story short, if you are in this Google’d list and are among the professions NOT YET MENTIONED then you are likely to be next on their hitlist. So watch out hookers, tailors, drug dealers and hairdressers…they’re out to get ya!
they should sue the titheads in cars, that play music (sic) too load.
that is music we don’t want to share.
