People probably ended up buying more albums because of the top uploaders. I know that I either download: FLACs of CDs I have owned/own, similar bands as a sample, or just the random torrent to help out the newbie who got into ratio trouble. Have bought CDs because of new music I find.

Sue me over that, RIAA and related associates.

ahh, good old FTN, I prefer ScT myself. either way, OiNK was not a noob … he revolutionized torrent sites dedicated to music (quality releases only)

What a pack of foolish idiots!

I think the standard POCA’s give the victim £125 per week to live on and that is money for bills as well. Spend more and your in contempt of court and go to prison.

The strategy is they don’t charge you for a long time (bailed 3 times wasn’t he?) but during that time you are starved of funds due to the POCA order. The problem is that because you haven’t been charged you do not get legal aid automatically, it is very difficult to get.

DUDE!!!!!!!! how much is Hollywood paying you trolls to act childish and stupid

thx for sharing some background.

can u reveal what evidence the cops have against u? did they track ur ip as u upped, or search the logs after oink was busted and pick u out?

Currently majority of tracker operators ban uploads from anonymous networks, thus unwillingly supporting lawsuits against their uploaders.

god you socialist nerds sure do love to wave your pirate flag high.

Im gonna go download some Metalica now.

Thus I advocate dropping CDs in random places that are very visible.

Don’t worry about that because these copyright extremists are fucking up the law. Once the law is fucked they will be no law and guess who is going to go down?

THEM!

With no credible justice it become the law of the strongest and frankly keeping on pulling the tail of a tiger is really foolish.

I like your close relative am involved in this, the CD I uploaded was actually downloaded from Oink and was not a leaked copy, it was a retail CD the guy/gal got early, they uploaded, I downloaded and I converted to a different format and uploaded that.

I too face the same worries your relative does, while I am older it will still be a stain on my life for the rest of it, it will effect getting any kind of insurance (home, car, travel), travelling to the US and abroad, possibly my job and future employment prospects.

For “one” CD it seems like the penalty is going to be very, very harsh, and that’s before the courts pass any real punishment yet. I have never been in trouble with the law.

I assume I will be advised to plead guilty, which means a criminal conviction for the rest of my life, regardless of that the Rehabilitation of Offenders legislation says, its been in the media time and time again that once you have a criminal conviction is on you for life, it never goes away.

I dare not put my email up here but if you get in touch with Enersto (or anyone at Torrentfreak) I will be happy to discuss things with you or your relative as someone in the same boat and going through the same wrenching issues.

“The solution is civil disobedience… all you share a lot more than before; and don’t use private trackers, because the material remains stuck there.

Spreading the material to the entire internet, like protest. Take all of your RIAA albums, make torrents and share… and obviously, if you live in a shit country like USA, don’t forget to hide your IP and using encrypted connections (tunnels).”

Didn’t you understand, IMBECILE?

Sharing is not illegal.

Downloading is not illegal.

ILLEGAL is that the RIAA on a daily basis does: LIVING of STEALING and EXPLOITING the hard work from the artists, paying to the artists only 7% to 14% from the sale of each album…

Or perhaps, can you deny these REAL FACTS?

Amazing. Belgium! Eu tu Bruti?

share SOMETHING TODAY.
MILLIONS CANT BE WRONG ….

Everybody buy from independents that don’t terrorize people for downloading there stuff (even if the reality is that they don’t love the fact that people download their stuff) and fuck the RIAA!

Stealing is taking an object AWAY.

Copying is duplicating an object.

In our case, copying has virtually no cost.

If you could copy diamonds, they would be worth nothing.

The info on the CDs will explain in detail that the RIAA is one parasite organization that live of stealing and exploiting the hard work and talent of the artists, paying to the artists only 7% to 14% from the sale of each album, and that the RIAA have made its big fortune stolen from the artists in these last 40 years (maybe more), in other words, explaining in the info that the real thieves and pirates are the RIAA and not the filesharers.

Private torrent sites also store logs of users’ IP addresses – which can be used against them if this information ever falls into the wrong hands.”

This is very wrong.
Some private trackers saves very little information. Not even ip’s!
Sites such as waffles.fm!
They have learned by everything other sites has done wrong!
The thing is, the more they try to shut people down, the stronger it gets, the more “holes” they find, the more “holes” “we” find…

Of course, you always got assholes trying to keep record of your IP’s, but what is the proof of these guys worth? Anyone can say, oh I found THIS IP on THAT site, THEN and THEN, SEEDING THAT or THAT! :\ Anyone can say this, but it needs someone with authority, like the police for this to be real proofs!

Excuse me anti-pirates, but death is knocking at your doors and he wants to touch all of you for beibg greedy feces.

…I nearly pissed myself writing this… but in reality, i think it does symbolize an abuse in power. Today marks the 7th anniversary of a more realistic problem: terrorism… and yet, it seems more effort, money, and resources get pumped into media than fighting any *real* terrorist, like what goes on in africa by the daily or all the genocidial maniacs in the world…

Just watch those rod stroking fags run and hide.

Government wont stop them.. someone has to.
