We have that in Norway too, but as I see it, this is a new version only for “copyright-issues”

Problem with that is the fact that the MAFIAA wants it to be much worse than that as a “punishment”. They don’t want it to be in such a place, they are convinced it’s more important than that. Even though logic dictates that it should be either there or nowhere.

This system already exists in many western nations. Its often called something like the “small claims court” or “petty claims tribunal” and has a cap on the amount of money involved (e.g. maximum $5000).

Basically, its the kind of court Judge Judy presides over and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that putting all the silly little court cases in a different category to the important ones is a sensible idea to avoid clogging the system.

@15, you’re welcome!

A lot of people have not, here’s hoping you will pass it on.

Cheers!

Why not drop the term pirate entirely? Replace the term with filesharers for those who download content over the Internet for free, and bootleggers or counterfeiters for those who copy content and sell it for a profit.

“People like being called pirates, people like the swashbuckling imagery of fighting the system as an outlaw. ”

Pirates—> The new N iggers?

Well, all this may be great, but do not any of you reading this think that it is more important for the file-sharers themselves to stand up against all those “anti-pirates” rather than big organizations/businesses like consumer rights groups or ISPs? I think that it is much more important for the file-sharers themselves to take action, not just for consumer rights groups, or for ISPs to resist.

h33t, the word “pirate” can be either for profit or not for profit.
