“Applen’s comments are at odds with the legal strategies of the Hollywood studio, where its lawyers continue to blame the providers of technology for the activities of their users.”

That’s like suing Smith and Weston or Colt for all Murders commuted with their weapons.

Idiots!

It would be interesting (if at all possible) for an isp provider to prevent use of Bittorrent on their network. Result, zero customers…

Look guys I need help with a question:

Rapidshare allows you to download files for free, with a wait-limit for download and a fifteen minute wait minimum after download. You all probably know this. However, is it possible for a potential downloader functioning by such means to be tracked and prosecuted? Is this considered illegal if Rapidshare is allowing this in their system as well as advocating it by virtue of allowing it to become freely available? Is this piracy? Is such a direct-download P2P? Basically; would I be in danger? Yes I’m a newb.

As a reminder to those that think Warner is changing.

Warner: LISTEN TO YOUR TECH GUYS!

BTW, Bram Cohen is great, a idol IMO, especially to others with Asperger’s Syndrome/autism.

People very well get the point, it’s just that this point isn’t what Big Content usually makes.
They have been making a habbit of attacking BT rather than those who use BT for unlawful actions (the first mentioned fights against TPB and iiNet) and that one of them agrees that the technology ain’t the badguy here is indeed something to be glad about.

So I’m supposed to prop up a business that has a failing business plan, not unlike the auto, and housing industries did? If they can not or are unwilling to adapt to market demands (what the people want) and offer a product at a reasonable cost, then, no, I don’t feel sorry for them. I’ve never said its legal to dl music, video, etc. I do it because I won’t support their tyrannical attempts to control me. By attacking their customer base they are hurting themselves.

Through BT I have found music that I simply never knew existed. I have since been to shows because of this, a win for the artist, not MegaCorp-I-Want-It-All.

Movies, same thing, I have dl’d and watched numerous indy films that I would never have heard of. Again, win for the small guy.

Many things I dl are no longer available for purchase. Anywhere! What choice do I have? They obviously don’t care.

You say you dl linux distros, indie bands. Have YOU donated to them? Be honest. And did you read the link I posted above.
