We like to call those people here the tie pirate …. the one that make the law useful for them to make “legal” money …..

that’s what you get from living in a world of capitalism

its the whole system that should be reviewed not just the file sharing …

#5, #14, and a few others are on the right track. It’s NOT entrapment, however. Entrapment would be compelling an individual to commit an illegal act. Because the entity that owns the rights is also doing the distributing, there is no unlawful act in the transaction. The unlawful act is in bringing suit against law-abiding individuals.

this is fraud, pure and simple…

if they have the rights to distribute and they place it as a bait to sue after it’s just that, FRAUD…

I feel sorry for the persons who have imcompetent lawyers to defend them and can’t pull them out of this…

I think i’m going to start downloading again from P2P so they sue me and in the end they’ll get sued… and pay me for emtrapment and fraud!

I just wish everything could be like THe book HOST except for the aliens then we wouldn’t have to worry about greed. And could get everything we needed or wanted and if no one was lazy then we could all basically work for it by helping each other and no one would get in trouble but hummm THis isn’t a perfect world so down with the money grubbers.

Stop drawing incorrect conclusions!

He said nothing about putting the files on P2P networks. He clearly said that they acquire the rights to sell the content in STORES, not P2P.

What this company does is to act as a copyright-protecting PROXY. Instead of having Universal, EMI, etc. monitoring and chasing down each infringement, this company licenses the rights to the more popular works, tracks illegal downloads, and takes infringers to court. Because they have acquired the license for the work in question, they have the legal right to sue, and once the case is over, they distribute the monies accordingly.

There is nothing whatsoever about honey-pots.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: if they prefer people pay the 10 EUR a month to VPNs instead of to an all-access “culture” flatrate, then that’s their own idiotic choice and loss of revenue.

People will not stop using the internet for data and information sharing, ever. And trying to lever the moral high ground of “protecting the creative and artists” kind of gets screwed by the readily apparent real TRUTH behind it in things like this.
