Creating a duplicate, a copy certainly is not theft. The printing press did the same thing when it came out. Old media is dying but they are going to fight for the almighty dollar. No matter what the cost. Propaganda pansies.

One of the judges listed on the first page Howard “Skip” Chessire from Georgia has more to worry about than “internet piracy”:
In Atlanta, anyone who keeps up with the news knows that Judge ‘Skip’ totally corrupted.
Just google “Howard Cheshire Cobb GA”

Perhaps the other names listed should be investigated.

Basically it was done by committee — that committee was not NCSC staff. I do not know who they were, thus I did not hand out contact info. Lorri M. is definitely your best bet (and yes she is also a friend of mine).

@ Anne

I’m now in touch with Lorri Montgomery, director of communications & marketing, National Center for State Courts.

I’m sorry if your friend was on the receiving end initially, but I’m sure she was smart enough to pass them on to whom they concerned, ie, Lorri and her bosses.

Cheers!

I note Anne your concern does not seem to extend to sharing the correct contact information with anyone here, how …expected.

It is very funny to think that anyone like the RIAA or any large corporation had anything to do with this book. It was more of a “death by committee” effort, trust me!

Also please don’t write to the person listed above. She is the contact for ordering copies, and had no more role in the writing of this than did the RIAA. So, unless you want to order copies, leave her alone.

@ ‘I’m worried that this CRAP will be given for free to grade schools across the nation’

And that’s a very real concern. It’s already happening with an MPAA garbage comic — the nauseating Lucky & Flo thingy – http://www.p2pnet.net/story/15134

As I said then, “Shades of Canada’s ludicrous Captain Copyright, Lucky and Flo, Hollywood’s two super sniffing sleuths, are to become a comic book heroes, turned loose to pollute the minds of kids with corporate copyright crap on behalf of Time Warner, Viacom, Fox, Sony, NBC Universal and Disney.”

Cheers!

@ Paulus:

Yup.

Not only but also, “She is charged with theft at state level”.

Really?

When was file sharing officially designated as ‘theft”? And by whom?

Cheers!

I’m worried that this CRAP will be given for free to grade schools across the nation, and the idiot schools will happily accept them because they cost nothing and help fill the library.

You are wrong, Jon. It is not the government it is the county proecutor’s office. But wait! You are right! It is both!

As usual the moronic corporate liars who pay for this garbage are only deceiving themselves , we know the law and how misleading this storyline is, can I suggest this group of recording-industry -lacky-halfwits pay for some education.

ohh boy, I can’t wait for NBC/USA to throw out a “ripped from the headlines” case for Law & Order, maybe it will be a SVU, if only she hadn’t gone online to d/l music, she wouldn’t have been in that chat room provided by that illicit music sharring software and then and only then she wouldn’t have been rapped…

I can see it now!

@MaxEd: that leaflet sure *sounds* like a parody, doesn’t it? A very bad one.

That one is just BEGGING for parody! But… wait… We have to PAY for this comic?! Oh, well then, I hope it will show up on The Pirate Bay…

That was shockingly bad! It’s moronic, but is it them, or do they think that Jon Doe is the moron here?

They’ve told outright lies (filesharing = crime etc) and have contrived and linked it with this unlikely story of state house possession and high-flying goody two-shoes student being threatened to lose it all and now regrets everything she’s done and was actually *glad* to have been caught? Seriously?

Who the fuck is gonna buy into this drivel?!!

Sorry for the rant Jon, but this overtly blatant corruption just got to me this time. It’s the way they are getting away with telling blatant FACTUAL lies in an official government produced document that anyone can check and damn well will be checked. This is outrageous.

Look at the very last page of the pdf: “The NCSC is an *independent*, non-profit, blah blah blah…” Yeah, sure. How *much* were they paid? I gotta know.

If the RIAA and MPAA had it their way, this is what would be happening. Wow they are absolutely desperate!

Now here is some ‘literature’ deserving of a book burning
