[...] Mas com esta medida agora aprovada pela entidade reguladora do mercado norueguês das telecomunicações, os fornecedores de acesso à Internet passam a ser obrigados a entregar os nomes e moradas desses alegados partilhadores, o que deixa a porta aberta a eventuais processos judiciais ou à extorsão das grandes editoras discográficas e estúdios de cinema de Hollywood, de acordo com o Torrent Freak.

“No, your right, I don’t know anything about pedophiles and their practises… I thought I made that clear. Care to share your information on how you know so much better?”

common sense, retard. perverts, hackers, and pirates all have a direct need for extra anonymity. saying that only pirates are “technically minded” enough to use VPNs is an absurdity based on absolutely nothing. whether you want to admit it or not, the same programs and technical loopholes that allow YOU to hide are also being used by criminals far worse than you. hope you sleep well at night!

How do they do that?

Last I heard that the internet funtions with IP adresses and not with names and addresses of “illicit file-sharers”.
All that the ISP can give (when the law really allows that) is a name and address of a person that signs responsible for paying the ISP’s monthly bill.
Remember enigmax, the RIAA does not get that one right either, that’s why they claimed that 80 year old grandmas were pirates or persons whose hardware was unable to run the software that was allegedly infringing copyrights.

ISP’s can NOT hand over names of illicit filesharers, only names of customers that pay the bill.

And again no, to be clear my point is that piracy started with the hacker scene, and more of the general public have joined since the start of the internet. But because of this there’s a link between the technically minded and the majority of hardcore pirates.

I wouldn’t assume the same of pedophiles.

And as much as I don’t agree with the sharing of child pornography, TPB are right to let ANYONE upload torrents (as long as it’s correctly labeled).

Legitimate and structured? You can’t control the Internet. No one owns it.

@109, the survey doesn’t conclude that pirates buy more music _because_ of piracy, it just shows the connection. It counter the standard MAFIAA argument that piracy makes people get stuff for free _instead_ of paying for it: now we see that they do both, and that pirate’s argument about trying-before-buying may be true after all.
