Its pretty much safe. The law is too complicated to the point of obfuscation, so everyone just ignores it when it comes to daily life. Piracy is rampant, but in an unorganized way – if you are looking to start something like tpb, i think its still safe, but always consult a lawyer first. And you can take my word – there’s always going to be a loophole somewhere ;)[/quote]

thanks for the information! can any body tell me what is require to start a new site like tpb? any comment would be appreciated![/quote][/quote]
Python and some spare time :)

Dangit.

And America isn’t -that- bad. My brother and I have been filesharing for YEARS, both hosting AND downloading, and no problems. Now, I’m in Mongolia, but that’s for other reasons.

Sweden should be a country we all look up to.

Hehe, Piracy is rampant in Mongolia too. They sell pirated games/movies on the streets here by the dozen!

Also, they allow anyone to upload any file to their site. Only torrents that are deleted are those with incorrect names.

Hmm..since I’m a musician too, maybe I should do my own version of Fuck the MPAA :lol:

low cost 100/100 Mbit lan connection

no search warrants for filesharing .. because it´s not a crime that can get u jailtime

sigh … if only wintertime was a ccoupla months less :D

Regarding the article… is having a fee/tax on broadband particularly different to Canada’s approach of charging a levy on blank CDs? It’s a much better idea than leaving the MPAA/RIAA to sue people left, right & centre.
