i do not understand why these people have to go to court to try to stop people getting what the official makers, releasers or whatever refuse to put out! do what people want, make things available that are asked for instead of this sledge hammer against a peanut approach. you never know, do things properly, unlike has been done til now and it may surprise them!!

“…the suit will aim to purge a wide range of unauthorized TV content from more than a dozen sites.”

Yeah, good luck with that!

Those filthy copyright trolls, they are so vile and greedy they don’t hesitate to stamp (or as is the case here, leave behind) their own kind if it helps them get what they want. The stamped “victim” of the trolls consortium in this case being the music industry.
Of course while it is funny to hear about this kind of stuff, one can’t help but realize how pathetic those trolls are.

Before any more blocking is implemented these organizations should have a requirement of providing availability to five different legal online sources where consumers can go and purchase or stream the material legally.

If they can’t show that they have made the content legally available online then they should not be allowed to block anything as this will simply media shift pirates to using some other method. (Streaming portals, Direct downloads, and even VPN P2Ping.

I’ve seen what the MPAA calls a legal online source, and DirectTV is not one of them, even though they show it as having their content available on them.

But will they listen? No. They will simply take ignorant judgement action, further feed our innovation, and then cry foul to the governments when their tactics don’t work and people simply find alternate routes.

Why not……..thinks for a while……..for a laugh…..Block all online sites that even mention these shows and be done with it. Newspaper sites, blogs, torrent freak, magazines etc etc. In fact, in doing so you can remove all reference to each and every show, that way we will never know of their existence and not bother supporting such crap and such protectionism in the future, why stop there, block all references to films and music and books and magazines and audio books and resume the old pre internet method of overcharging for said items in local shops, that way we on the internet can be left in peace without censorship of everything we search for.

Doesn’t the pre-trial precede the pre-crime?

if even this would lower piracy rates or even nullify them, I bet they will still not get cash from more than a few.
