In a way it is superior; because you can’t be sued for “potential losses” as long as you only download and don’t upload.

Just remember that when using Tor do not login to your emails or do online banking! use it to defeat these pompous ass serpents that think they own you and gain some privacy back.

The settlement agreement provides that our clients will supply eircom with the IP addresses of all persons who they detect illegally uploading or downloading copyrighted works and that eircom will, upon receipt of this information, implement a graduated response which will firstly inform its broadband subscriber that its subscribers IP address has been detected infringing copyright; will secondly warn the subscriber that unless the infringement ceases the subscriber will be disconnected and may take steps to throttle the subscribers broadband service; and finally in default of compliance will result in the disconnection of the subscriber. In addition to this eircom has agreed that it will not oppose any application our clients may make seeking the blocking of access from their networks to the Pirate Bay websites or similar websites.

It is the position of our clients that by this agreement eircom has agreed to comply with its statutory duty under section 40(4) of the Act to remove the material infringing our client’s copyright from its facilities.

Please confirm that Blacknight will also work with the record industry to end the abuse of the internet by peer to peer infringers and that it will, if it receives IP addresses from the record companies of persons that they detect illegally uploading or downloading copyright works, operate a similar graduated response and that it will disconnect the subscriber in default of compliance.

We should add by way of elaboration that it is not intended that there be any disclosure of our clients of the identity of the person(s) denoted by the IP address at the time in question.

In the event of a positive response to this letter, it is proposed to make practical arrangements with Blacknight of a like nature to those made with eircom.

In the event of a negative response to this letter, section 40(4) of the Act will be invoked against Blacknight and proceedings intituted.

We are writing to other ISPs in similar terms.

While we appreciate that this is a matter in respect of which you would wish to obtain legal advice, in the circumstances we must request a response within seven days of the date of this letter.
“

We act as solicitors for Blacknight Internet Solutions Limited who have handed us a copy of yours of the 13th inst. We have explained the contents in detail to our clients who acknowledges your clients situation.

It is most important to note however that our clients are a hosting provider. This is distinct to an access provider and our client therefore does not offer DSL or other internet access services.

We understand that the agreement with Eircom relates to DSL services, which make illegal filesharing possible. Again we reiterate that our clients do not offer this service. Nor does our client have any subscribers as outlined in your letter.

We sympathise with your clients, we hope you will see that our clients are not involved in such activities and therefore we would be grateful if you would kindly revert and confirm our clients cooperation and also a release from any legal action as mentioned in your aforesaid letter.”

THIS IS NOT CHINA FFS

Are you and your lackeys fucking entitled to the vast income that your agents bully out of ordinary people just for some entertainment?

Fuck off. Filesharing rules.

i dont mind paying for something but i like to use it how the hell i please without shackles or restrictions, i like to be-able to play my paid game more than 5 times a lifetime, i want to transfer my paid media to any listening/playing device i choose, i would like to watch my movies or tv shows on my legally baught stand alone DIVX player.

name me 1 shop 1 single store i can buy DIVX content media to play on my legally purchased Stand alone DivX player?

nope zip… so before you start shooting your mouth about how wrong it is, why dont you look at why people pirate.

paid content comes with way to many rules licences and restrictions.

free content pirated is stripped of all this bullshit

i’m sorry but i refuse to deal with all that when i’ve give my hard earned money to someone for something

if i can smash it into a million peices and not get into trouble that means i own the media, but if i want to use it on something other than a device it was locked too im doing wrong???? like hell i am.

go away

do any of you guys depend on the movie/TV business to pay your rent and feed yourself?

I’m so sick of people using illogical arguments rooted in david vs goliath BS.

If you steal a movie, tv show or song it’s theft. How could it not be? I hope most of u are too smart to actually believe that…

If you don’t ask one of the thousands of people who lost their jobs in the music industry.

Next, you idiots suprised the FBI cares about millions of dollars being stolen everyday…Can I ask, If someone broke into your place of business everynight and stole all your products, and it happened at every location nationwide, everysingle night, THEN would that qualify as an “FBI” worthy case? Again, I hope ur too smart to believe your own BS…

What i hear is of bunch of whiney self absorbed people who feel they are “owed” everything in life. (you know the kinda thing you try to teach your kids not to be like) I used too hate old people who talked to me like that but my generation is a bunch of in-grateful babies… I mean to be upset at people you steal from for caring that you stole???????

Next stupid argument…hollywood and the MPAA are so evil.
If someone robs a bank, would the fact that we all hate banks now make it legal for them. Because that’s pretty much all the “evil hollywood/mpaa” argument is. Oh god i can’t believe the MPAA is trying to stop the loss of millions of dollars? How dare they!!! are u guys serious? do you have jobs? If someone broke into your office and stole everything out of your desk would you report it? would you hope the police looked into it? Now imagine that times a million…I think the mpaa kinda has a right to be pissed or is that ridiculous to think that you should have to pay for something people paid to make and sell?

HYPOCRITICAL JUSTIFICATION OF THEFT…

People pay money to produce the tv, movies and music. Although music can be made and recorded for extremely low cost. I’d love to hear how you are going to shoot Dark Knight or one episode of any show in your garage? The lighting alone costs a couple hundred grand…have fun…i think youtube already proved this point though

I’m confused how my entire generation can feel so “owed” free material that costs others money and hardwork.

I know its cool to think everything should be free and I’m sure I’ll be blown away by the wit my post is met with via anonymous responses. But most of you wouldn’t steal from a store and trying to call what happens on torrent sites anything else but theft is a bunch of symantical BS….

take your argument to it’s logical conclusion…Hollywood maybe an easy target, but ireally it’s just another name for an industry that needs financhial incentives to work. You steal everything, then we stop making it. what would you do if there was no tv or movies? Be careful or you might have to get a life instead of uploading tv shows all night and writing uneducated ingrateful rants about that which you barely understand…

When you steal movies, you aren’t making some ANTI MPAA F-Hollywood statemtent.

Most of you are too smart to believe that, yet it’s so easy you still don’t stop to think about people like me who make very little money in the industry that you are putting out of a job.

Can I also send in an IRMA with my company… I would like to block the site www’microsoft’com, due to illigal spreading of illigal materials… I can prove their IP was in my Utorrent overview of a torrent I downloaded recently. I can proove it with a printscreen!

Cheerz,

Youd be famous, enabiling all those people to continue more or less the same.

Personally, Im abandoning Eircom, as fast as possible.

What utter utter rubbish. And I thought they might have some balls, when they started going to court.
A well.

No. They are not jewish either. Real Jewish don’t do this kind of crap nor real muslim or real christians!

The goal of all these scourges without faith or law is to devide and control.

Let’s not go for that! Let join together and kick their ass!

TOGETHER!

The ISP’s and IFPI might be evil fucks, but at least they’re also evil incompetent fucks :D

a) let the music companys rape you
b) or you rape yourself with the loss of income when your customers switch to an isp with balls.

Goodbye Eircom
