you are right, we all steal a movie when we download it, some of us admit to it some don’t.

But the Mafiaa’s have to realise they are wrong also, they need to change the way they do business.
Every year lots more people learn how to pirate the longer thay take the bigger the problem becomes.

THEY should make movies available online for a reasonable price (couple of dollars) if it is earlier enough who would download a cam? no-one. 1 month after cinema release to the whole world would work. People that never go to cinemas or buy DVD’s, but wait fot it on TV, would download legally, whole new revenue stream.

The only people that end up with restricted products (DRM) and annoying ads and trailers are the people that actually give them money, how retarded is that.

I haven’s seen a trailer or FBI warning on a movie for at least 7 years.

I wouldn’t have bought any of the movies on DVD that I have downloaded
but i would have rented them, so they have lost no money from.

“So not only were the judge and the Lobby’s lawyer personally acquainted, they actually work together and are financially dependent on strong copyright in a common business. If there ever was corruption in a court case… I can’t think of anything making it worse short of the Lobby lawyer actually paying the judge during the trial”

File sharing is just a small part in the question of how we want the internet to be, and it’s taking far to much room.
But the way it handles, it’s clear that money is the puppet master.
I’m pro capitalism, but this is just corruption.
The less the politicians have to say, the more the peoples influence (to a point).

any link to potential infringing material is the person visiting the links responsibility

THAT does mean torrent sites would be legal and thats a supreme court decision that the new copyright bill also decides to step on ….

at first i thought it read: “all your yogurts belongz to meee!”

:P

on topic:
better have Mafiaa believe they’re actually winning this
In reality, they’re trying to fight a tsunami with a bucket that’s full of holes :)

All yoiur art are belong to MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Budget: $300m-$500m
Profit: $2,200m
(quadrupling the investment before the DVD is even released!!)

Yeah, yeah, copyright infringement is destroying the industry – of course we believe you!!

When losses are obvious and the industry seems to be hurting (rather than playing the victim, making alarmists statements based on highly questionable figures as evidence), maybe we’ll listen, but until then it seems that the sue-them-all campaigns will only alienate consumers.

I used to download to review and then purchase DVDs that I felt had replay value (In particular, I would often buy DVDs as presents for people’s birthdays, etc.) – Unfortunately, the MPAA’s efforts have meant I only continue one of those habits.

I now boycott them as I do not wish to fund attacks against consumers and I do not wish to fund lobbyists who will bribe and blackmail to get a nation’s laws re-written to suit the agenda of global corporations against the interests of that nation’s people. I refuse to support acts that I see as fascist, the MPAs global lobbying efforts are fascism in action.

Rather than adapt to new technology and use it to their advantage, at the same time giving their customers a better service they instead choose the option of forcing through new laws and threatening (often innocent)people in order to maintain their outdated business models.

Because of this more people choose to rebel and steal as oposed to going along with the industrys every demand.

Aavatar isn’t worth sharing.

PARASITE!

We want all the corporations of parasites such as the one you are working for right now out of business before they destroy our democracies. You are a pack of parasites criminals and terrorists and we don’t negotiate with terrorists.

It’s not “stealing” fool, it’s Sharing.

please continue on with your Bawwwww
hahaha

It is of course where everybody beelined for as soon as they got out the gate.

same as it ever was, same as it ever was jeesh.

Foreign (American) corporations are clearly more powerful in your country than your country’s own courts. You pitiful weaklings deserve your sorry fate.

We know what that’s like here in America, and also most of Western Europe. However now, our American “Intellectual Property” disease has spread into Northern Europe as well.

MISERY LOVES COMPANY!!!!

Sucks to be you.

You will not escape our influence because they have too much money. Over time, our corporations can rewrite your laws and work your courts like puppets. We have the money and power to do this because guess what? You lent it to us!

“Intellectual Property” is just one of many fronts our corporate minions are advancing on. This court case may be a milestone, but it will soon be a “millstone” to hang around the neck of all Dutch citizens and enslave you little by little. You will do our corporations’ bidding.

Your high standard of living is doomed, and we will bring you down to our level.

Our American corporations will extract every last bit of value and freedom from your lives and it is your own fault for letting it happen.

You didn’t think it could happen in your country, but it is happening now. This has been in progress for some time. Our corporations always prevail.

It’s basic thermodynamics, that entropy increases. Just as an ice cube in a glass of water will melt, so also will your superior nearly-utopian country become just like every other suffering, corporate-ruled serfdom on this planet.

Grow up, get smart and stay smart. If you don’t understand the difference between stealing and copying I suggest a lobotomy or even better, act upon your conscience. Otherwise you’re just another hypocritical wanker yelling “thieves” from behind the fence because of his own guilty conscience. Seriously, stop downloading shit! If your brains says pirating is wrong, don’t do it. You’re not smart, you’re jus an immoral idiot and you know it.
