This is why it’s fucking scary:
They are essentially banning internet search engines now. So much for internet in China. Oh, wait…

Yeah since when does China give a damn about the IFPI ? The government intentionally disconnects their population from the rest of the world to “protect” them from the evils of democracy, and from what I understood, they also protect them from international law – the only thing China wants from the rest of the world is money.

what does “– even Google –” mean? Are you suggesting that their methods are somehow different? Or that they are a golden child some expect to avoid this issue due to their glow? Or just that they have yet to be sued but are probably next? There is implied meaning in your grammar choice that I can’t parse.

Thanks,

What if we rebuild the BitTorrent meta file specification to point to indexes that point to ip tables that point to people who have parts of each file (but never the whole file)?

#16 Do you mean like a part 1 torrent and a part 2 torrent for the same movie? That is a good idea, i wouldn’t like the inconvenience, but how will they ever contact your ISP and say “we have record of your user downloading every other 14MB of a movie” (i’m assuming they are in .rar files). That would be pretty funny.

So the IFPI criminals are at it again.

IFPI is illegal and the law should reflect that.

It’s about time these criminal organisations IFPI, RIAA, CRIA etc. be brought to justice.

These companies are involved in illegal activities.

9: What he means, is that they’ll obviously loose if they go against Google, and they will therefore estabelish a precedent, wherein it is legal to merely index torrent files.

“According to IFPI statistics, music sales in China were just $76 million in 2006, with 99% of all music downloading done in a way that infringes copyright.”

Yeah because we all know the IFPI has the most reliable stats, not fudged at all.

Let them feel it! It will become legal soon enough to indes files without finding the MPAA or RIAA on your doorstep. (even torrent files)

By: Dan

Yeah, give it time, the fact that it’s not on major news sites does not tell me anything except they need a day or two to understand technology in order to write the articles.

Also, HA! they admit that google and yahoo list pirate tracks, a good thing considering many would never think of shutting them down but somehow see bittorrent trackers that also link to pirate material (and a torrent is even more indirect) as illegal.

The IFPI say that when sites like Yahoo! and Baidu – or even Google – deep-link “to hundreds of thousands of pirate tracks” they are “a huge drain on efforts to develop a legitimate music market in China.”

‘Cause the Chinese want to listen to cat-screeches, deep down, and NOT popular well-recorded pop music from the west. Yeah, Yahoo!’s holding them back.
