@70 the lawyer gave him bad advice. Actually, that was all made up by people like you trying to scare people into paying, so it’s not only bad advice, it’s dishonest. This will cost you and your pals more than you’ll ever get and it will not help your cause. It will only service to push infringers deeper increasing your problems.

I I am not one being sued and I do not download music or movies. I do not condone that at all. However, I do dislike the tactics used, so I have a list of film studios that I am boycotting. I am not alone in this. This is bad PR for you, plain and simple. I see Copyright infringement as a problem, but not as big of a problem these machine gun tactics that you are using to fight it.

$150,000.00 would not scare me 1 bit. I can’t pay $1000.00, so it might as well be a million. You can’t get blood from a stone and most of the cases that you win (if any), any award will be unrecoverable anyway. Conbine that with it not even putting a dent in downloading, what’s your cause?

BSomms3, i’m a producer and i currently have an attorney going after thousands of torrent infringers. your attorney gave you good advice to pay the settlement because if the case went to court you could slapped with a fine up to $150K. movies aren’t free, stolen movies are free!

I was one who was being sued – I never downloaded the movie but I am not claiming I never have downloaded a movie in the past. I spoke with a very expensive attorney on the matter who specializes in these matters – he ultimately told me to pay the settlement – I paid last month to the tune of $2500.

The problem was the unknown – what if it went to trial and how much would it cost to prove my innocence – it was blackmail for lack of a better word. Now I want to know, can I get my money back…

seriously, we dont need people filing lawsuits to ruin peoples lives, we need ONE file-sharing site, that is run by the government, or one of theese idiotic groups, to stop piracy of movies and music and ESPECIALLY GAMES. yea sure, i would HATE to have to start buying music, but i hate seeing thousands of peoples lives ruined because of the music industry robbing you out the ass when buying cd’s. if anyhting. stuff like this makes the situation worse. but honestly, is seven dollars a month too much for you to watch the movies you want, because if it is then how do you own a computer to pirate stuff anyways.
