Piracy is possible because of the digital nature of movies and music today, but under existing laws, it’s clear that piracy is theft.

If you enable theft without being a thief, you might not be a pirate, but you’re an accessory to the crime, and you’ll pay a fine or spend quality time in a penitentiary.

You have no inalienable right to steal, but that habit is best cured by hanging.

That makes no sense at all. Just because Google indexes more than torrent sites doesn’t mean they don’t also index torrent sites. I think the main point trying to be made is that Google doesn’t filter so why should torrent indexers filter. Also it is logical to also conclude that if indexing certain torrents is considered aiding in copyright infringement for the torrent indexer why would it not for Google? They index the same information.

Posters are only saying Google is doing wrong if the torrent indexer is doing wrong. The point being missed is that neither is doing wrong.

@74

seems people aren’t getting smarter at all, why should google be called a torrent search service. It’s a fucking search engine, search for phrases and it gives you result. good and bad, both pron sites etc. It doesn’t state that we “index torrent sites for you” jeez. What you dig is what you get. Google shouldn’t even be put into this.

A torrent search service does the job of searching torrents specifically. Tired of talking now.

To explain the mysterious disappearance of Reasoned Mind, one might note that when he stopped posting, neostyles, who was not posting much, started posting more…

So I’m still waiting for Neotroll to explain how Google is different to a torrent search service.

Google hyperlinks. Torrents are hyperlinks. Same thing.

So please please please point out the legal difference.

Alan Ellis is my hero and always will be.
Oink was the best thing ever happened in my torrent sharing life.
But closing sites won’t help shit, as we’ll never stop.

” Now that the law finally caught up with him he just doesn’t want to admit it so he’s playing dumb.”

I suggest that this is better than being seen to be actually dumb.

The case seems to going in favour of Mr Ellis and unless there is something new or unknown in the pipeline to come its pretty clear there is no case to answer here and we can expect to enjoy the fruits of his succes by trouncing the copyright despots in as many media outlets as we can find, that should be what is occuring now, get planning folks.

I like having different views and arguements in the comments section. It’s interesting.

Oh, and whatever happened to Reasoned Mind? He kinda dissapeared…(though I don’t read every article, so I may be wrong)
