		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;  They are looking at that ruling which was initially in their favor (but overturned on appeal) as not being the finally word.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s what we said. They are ignoring &lt;b&gt;precedent&lt;/b&gt;. Historically, judges from all states tend to look askance at this, and where copyright trolls are concerned, Prenda Law has certainly blazed a long trail of ill will among the judiciary for judges to follow.

It&#039;s pretty damn obvious that Rightscorp is actually trying to evade the legal requirements by way of a loophole here, and as Prenda displayed, &lt;b&gt;that is not a good way to test how much you can get away with&lt;/b&gt;.

&lt;i&gt;&quot;It is better that the actual account holder can be contacted and the situation addressed directly...&quot;&lt;/i&gt;


Except that there IS ample precedent in US courts stating emphatically that the account holder/ip adress &lt;b&gt;is not enough to identify an infringer with&lt;/b&gt;.


So they aren&#039;t just exploiting a loophole. They are also in direct violation of a stronger precedent by far. Or will be, the very first time anyone actually calls their bluff and goes to court.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new shiny nick created just for the occasion, Baghdad bob?

Because from where I&#039;m standing, all I see is a cocky copyright troll saying they believed the court was wrong so they&#039;ll go ahead and &lt;b&gt;ignore the ruling&lt;/b&gt;.

Care to take a guess what happens when copyright trolls act like that? Prenda law and ACS:Law come to mind. The only thing seen here is a bundle of new copyright trolls spitting their lack of ethics into the eyes of a few dozen judges.

I could wish all copyright trolls were as dumb.

As usual, then, you are simply giggling like a demented monkey while your tree is burning down from under you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1) What pirates do is &quot;unlawful&quot;
2) What the corporations do is, in this case, criminal. Fraud to be precise.

In short, you just stated that because people jaywalk it&#039;s ok to assault them.

&lt;b&gt;Spoken like a true copyright cultist.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Let me copy all your bank information, I&#039;m not stealing it, you still have the original copy.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Because there is no difference between a &lt;b&gt;a secret you can rely on no one else having access to&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;published information anyone with a radio or TV set has already partaken of&lt;/b&gt;.

What should be criminal here is the stupidity of your statements.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because if they do, the catchers become the criminals?

Personally I&#039;d welcome that. It means the legal basis of copyright died &lt;b&gt;the very first time a copyright troll decided to abuse it.&lt;/b&gt;



Not big on the concept of &quot;law&quot; are you?]]></description>
