If I was an ISP, I’d set each notice at $150 USD. Call that a decent amount and see Hollywood go fuck themselves while you’re making money on them. They want to make money, they better have the right evidence. For $150 they could be getting $1000′s back, given they know that their evidence is solid; if not, go fuck yourself.

We figure if we reduce the cost of the notices to $2 we could get that down to $249,982

Don’t be a maroon! Who are we going to replace Key with? “Let’s build lotsa 300k houses in Auckland” Labour? “Let’s print some money” Greens?

The magic disappearing ACT?

Key is by lightyears the best leader we have. Sure, undoing some of the damage caused by her Clarkship is [and will remain] painful but if we pretend that we can carry on as if New Zealand is one big oil well, we will soon make Greece look prosperous by comparison.

Hollywood SUMMONED the New Zealand PM? SUMMONED? Can they spell arrogant? They may be able to spell it but I’ll bet they don’t know what it means. And the cost TO THEM for filing notices is prohibitive? Gee! That’s why don’t go the movies.

Agreed. 5 years, tops, copyright on anything today. If you haven’t made your money in 5 years from making something, you are never going to in reality.

That’s the part that I really find pathetic. If RIANZ, RIAA’s NZ cousin, is using the system, then why the hell is Hollywood complaining?

The first time I heard about outrageous copyright infringement lawsuits, the people suing were the music industry.

In other words, if the group that is legendary for suing people into oblivion finds a system that has a rather paltry fee as a requirement (seriously, $20 US is not that much when you look at the net income Hollywood studios are raking in, with or without their questionable accounting methods), then shut up and pay the damn fee already.

What’s that? You’re complaining because this prevents you from sending takedown notices in bulk, and you’d actually have to hire people to check and see if things were infringing? Well too bad.

Maybe Hollywood will be more accurate with the websites that it goes after now.

Okay, that’s just wishful thinking on my part.
