And why not go after the 50,000 employees that leak the videos in the first place?

The MPAA and RIAA and all their counter parts need to realize 99.9% of claimed losses due to file sharing are bogus. First no one is getting rich sharing files, No one running a torrent site is going to become a google or facebook billionaire or even a millionaire. Never heard of anyone that had big money that was ever busted for file sharing.

File sharing is no more then a modern version of libraries.

Reasoned Mind,

Your customers HATE you!

In case you didn’t understand, I’ll repeat: Your customers HATE you!

For you and the people you work for, nothing else matters, nothing you do matters, nothing you say matters. Why?

Because your customers HATE you!

HAHA the MAFIAA got pwned. I just wish my government in the uk had the same wisdom as this judge when it comes to ISPs acting as corporate copyright cops. Circumvention of established legal procedures inevitably favours the copyright industry at the expense of the rights of the citizen.

So nice to hear from the Australian Pirate Party as well. Has such a nicer ring to it than “a geek club started by 3 guys in their basement”.

What with them not actually being a real political party and all, and who solicit less membership than fringe sporting rights groups and racist organisations.

The climate change party garnered less support at the last elections than the Shooters Party. Yeah, keep telling yourself you’re relevant guys.

Haha says: “So let’s review this… after failing to sue individual people who can’t afford lawyers and fight back, these guys decide to sue ISPs who have plenty of lawyers and can fight back!
Who is handling the strategy for these guys?”

Well, no.
They didn’t try and fail to sue individual Australians. Based on the court’s ruling, that’s what happens now. Not real sure where you see the humour in that.

Anyway, either you’re from an ISP or let’s hope you’re not handling our strategy.

I mean, seriously. WTF are you people on if you’re happy about this ?

The landmark ruling is that ISPs don’t get sued instead of consumers. Surely mere seconds of consideration could allow you to determine whether (a) you are an ISP or a consumer and (b) whether this makes you happy.
