Everyone does it so it’s OK? Surely that makes it worse?

It’s the capitalists! Of course it is, we live on a capitalist planet. I’m a capitalist, you’re a capitalist (i’m assuming so if you own a computer), we’re all capitalists. If some capitalists get boned over they’ll be trying to get it sorted out. Record companies, independent music stores and even bands are baring the brunt of this.

Record companies are worried about the collapse of the industry, why are major record labels so evil anyhow? All they’re doing is distributing popular artists music for profit, there are definitely worse people in the world. And it isn’t just majors it’s indies too, they’re the ones who really have to compete.

The main problem with the music industry is oversaturation, there’s too much stuff for many independent bands to make it anywhere.

If bands want to give away free stuff they can but I’m pretty sure no band would want to give away their whole back-catalogue.

While arresting random people is a huge waste of time people should realise that they aren’t doing the world a favour by taking stuff they don’t own for free.

The only other way they have evidence is if the police themselves downloaded this material from those seeders before the site was raided, which is against the law in which case they should arrest themselves.

I was one of those unfortunate people to get a letter from some bullshit swis company demanding monies for downloading some game from torrent. I ripped that letter up and have had no reponse from that ever. So now I have set ipblock to block all swis IP’s can’t be arsed with getting court orders sent to me.

ben Laden Can wait for now because this is more urgent folks!

TorrentFreak has received information which suggests that British police have made good on their claim that they would go after ex-users of OiNK. Last week, several officers arrested at least one individual for the seeding of a single album. It is beli…

Also why not learn to be a hacker. Perhaps if all the pirates became hackers to boot when push comes to shove on this thing called the internet, the so called “call to arms” would scare the bejesus out of them corporates.

A new war is brewing in the world, and this one is brought directly by hollywood and the media corporations and it is a fight we cannot lose for if we do the democracy that our forefathers fought for will be lost.

I am not going to us any argument in any court that have no credibility and no legitimity.

For there is plenty for us to do:
We need to act now. We need to unite together under an NGO. For none exists as of yet, for the EFF is not one, the FSF is not one. We need one to unite under.

Oh Ya?

You should get a real job because profesional trolling is a forme of parasitism.

I believe that you want us to get our

“”"”reliable source of hews”"”"

from the “Ruper Murder BS chanel such as Fox news or Vivendique Universale shit such as ABC news;
you know the sources of news that sold us the weapon of mass destruction lies and who contributed to the death of hundred of thounsand of people!

Tell your master at the RIAA to start running now because we have enought of them and we are comming with the pest killer.

Thank God everyone can trust basically anonymous comments left on TF – now everyone in the UK can take off their tinfoil hats since you said so!! :P

It is very obvious that the police has no mmotive to arrest these alleged downloader. But since they can not fine anything to charge with the admin of OINK they have to posture. However it causes them to break th elaw by performing false arrest with some potentilay dear consequences for the sake of the society.

When the authority break the law, there is no law save for the law of the strongest.

Since all the old bags of crap who curretly represent the authorities in general and the entertainment industry in particular are very weak, I will not play this game if I was them.

My comment got deleted.

I just want to congratulate Torrent Freak on being such a competently and respectfully run publication. I’m glad to know that they have such confidence in their publications that they can withstand criticism.

Oh wait, they can’t.

Seriously, who writes for you? Are you a bunch of 14 year olds sitting at home in your parents’ basements and you just publish every rumor you hear.

Someone should establish a reputable news source dealing with peer-to-peer legal issues and whatnot.

I’m sorry Torrent Freak has let us all down… again.

Although I can’t say I’m too surprised.

Besides, “fight the good fight” is irrelevant to the court; I’m not talking about court cases. I’m talking about PUBLIC OPINION.

Because we do need to fight the good fight, against the propaganda of those tyrants.

Now you’re being an idiot. We’re talking about justice here. This is not a court argument. It is an argument for activism. Activism happens with advocacy groups, not in courts. This is a political matter, not a legal matter.

This may well be fake, but even if it is, it does not diminish any need for us to start acting.

no worries, fellas. they’re getting low fines, too:)
