Pirates on Trial
VaporTrail:
Wonder what's missing in those dots. There's got to be something fairly substantial, as the end of the sentance makes no sense.
When I first saw this my first thought was Somali pirates. You know, the armed kind. Comes from actually working in a field that deals with em.
AceHigh:
It seems that they were naive to think they would win.
Here is their miscalculation:
The law is not the same for everyone. MPAA and RIAA can operate outside the laws and still be considered lawful, while TPB operate within the law and are considered illegal.
Reason, because one of them is a corporation and has lobby power. Law protecting us all.... what a childish thought ::)
mgz:
well obviously they assist in copyright infringement but does that mean every ISP, in the world is guilty of doing so as well ? Google, yahoo, msn.
Every HDD manufacturer, well its gotta get stored on something so it can be copied illegally.
Curious to see how long this will take to go through appeal process and actual see a final verdict
HazukiChan:
If you go to the Pirate Bay site it says "Epic Win". I guess because most of the charges were dropped, and they were only found guilty of "assisting in copywritng infringement" But I think it is far from over, as the appeal process will start soon.
I like the part where they asked the judge if he folded because of "serious pressure", I would say that was a given.
captiosus:
if the piratebay gets shut down, there will be blood to spill, and the RIAA and all the other money grubbing copyright bastards will be the ones spilling it, victim of millions of pitchforks. Now we have the oh so long wait to see the ultimate verdict............ ..
