[...] Dessa organisationer är bra mycket farligare för det moderna demokratiska rättssamhället än en hel legion av hemmapirater. Det skulle vara långt mindre farligt för Sverige att ha nio miljoner fildelare, än att tillåta dessa organisationer att fullt ut importera de amerikanska moderorganisationernas metoder. [...]

Don’t anybody understand?, It’s the corporate states, much worse than individual’s tyranny or dictatorship.

The police have a lot more important things to deal with than stupid music CDs. And tell the RIAA to fuck off.

Old saying: “It ain’t a crime to be poor, but it might as well be.”

The last six words apply here just as well.

Another detail being glossed over; media reports, video footage, and wording is starting to blur the fact that the RIAA are not, despite what they think, a government agency. From their RIAA (and similarly the MPAA’s) official looking jackets which are modeled after Federal attire (with “RIAA” written as if it IS “official”, the way that “FBI” and the like adorn government agents’ jackets), to reports of the RIAA (and MPAA) illegally being INVOLVED in investigations as advisors.

“you would know the only chance you have to succeed is by doing it quietly.”
What the hell? Doing it quitely means getting ignored. The most important thing about effecting change is doing it in associates or groups.And that means informing everyone about it. Running mouths is just as important as actually doing it.

WTH yourself. Were you just skipping along reading sentences at random? You don’t go about cybervigilante justice the same way you go about organizing a protest march, unless you just like the thought of becoming someone’s b—h in prison.

Come to think of it, that might be the case if you like “doing it in associates or groups.”

those of us ‘in the know’ have been warning about this for some time now. TSA agents in the US will be screening for pirated content, on laptops, ipods, cellphones, you name it.

they can now take that equipment, copy it, hold it forever, and you have no legal recourse.

This is not the first case of someone being nailed for piracy in an unrelated matter, and it won’t be the last.

They are training sniffing dogs to look for pirated discs (apparently burnable media has a different makeup than pressed retail discs, and the dogs can smell it.)

If you are travelling with anything pirate, be cautious. Really tho, even if you legally ripped those mp3s from legally owned cds, do you carry them with you? Still have the receipts?

Exactly.

Anti-terror laws are being used to go after copyright infringement. I warned of this years ago, and now it’s right there in your face.

Deny it no longer, stand up and fight back.
