Music Industry Takes Soulseek to Court

will they please die already….

the content we share, one thing is predominant, and actually 95%+, because I have never seen much of a deviant.

everything we share, we rip the entry respects to the corporations that funded said content, (read, when they ACTUALLY start the movie, and sans placed ad crap, so ‘Dark Knight’ has the warner bros (wanker asshats) intro, and the exit content (read, credits for artists, grips, songwriters, special effects, etc.) This is a sociological breakdown that all ‘pirates’ give kudos to the blokes actually sweating it out to create. Does anyone really get how awesome this is?

“Just because you buy a DVD to watch at home doesn’t give you the right to invite friends over to watch it too. That’s a violation of copyright and denies us the revenue that would be generated from DVD sales to your friends,” said Glickman.

MPAA Lobbying for Home Theater Regulations

What people and studios dont realize that if people download their movie/music/whatever it should not be counted as a sale they lost. The people that download it may have never wanted to buy the product in the first place. Or even bother to rent it froma movie rental place.

almost 5 times more then they claim they lost

Just 50 cents.
Imagine that if every govt got rid a Microsoft on govt computers and replaced them WITH FOSS LINUX.
not only would htat pay the 50 cents, but get your country more doctors, low taxes, lower tuition costs or eliminate them, and pay down national debts and stimulate innovation and the economy so much that this crap economy world wide would heal over night.

Will someone wake up? I doubt it the people in charge get handed bribe er lobby money and honestly they don’t really care about us.
When a person become prime minister that isnt a lawyer and hasnt been a politician all there life then something will have gone right.

Seems Joe Bidens buddies are now pressuring Hraper to push this new law and i do not see on the NDP website anything about net neutrality or copyright , which would suggest the deal there is already done and its all cosmetic.

Canada sucks now and the rich will get insanly rich and the rest of us in 5 years won’t be able to afford a dvd, let alone the player and or cds of music.

GOOD
STOP BUYING ANYTHING.

For CHRISTMAS SEND A MESSAGE TO THE MPAA/CRIA/RIAA DO NOT BUY.
go out for dinner at a local dinner and support the local economy instead of giving to people that dont need more.
Batman makes a billion dollars and they whine , It will never be enough.

Next law to come will be infringers will be sent to work camps in oil fields so the harper govt and there oil buddies can get slave labour.
YUP and then what will we all do? No auto sector left, no Tech jobs.
ALLL TOAST.

“The IPO had stated previously that it would be “taking forward” the recommendations to ensure that the UK’s intellectual property laws were fit for the digital age, which FAST took as a promise to implement all recommendations from the report. Now, however, the IPO does not appear to be including Recommendation 36 in the changes it’s considering making to the law, which FAST considers to be a gross oversight.”

FAST was quoted as saying, “I cannot BELIEVE they circumvented our bullshit !!”

“This analog sort of copy protection was developed by Macrovision and worked as effective as nowadays DRMs”

as for your quote above, I got the giggles for an hour over that one, maybe your ‘effective’ ruler differs from mine.

Thanks for the laugh, Schmock.

you’re mixing up something. The “‘tape trick’” just protected the cassettes from being overwritten accidently. The broken tab had nothing to do with some kind of copy protection. If you had two VCRs, you could copy tape a) to b), even if a) lacked of tab. On the other hand, many commercial VHS tapes carried some kind of DRM, which came analog. This analog sort of copy protection was developed by Macrovision and worked as effective as nowadays DRMs. A little, cheap device between two VCRs, some kind of amplifier, helped against this kind of anal(og) restriction management

Not.

Tape over the tab broken off in the back side and viola, you can copy it. Modern day DRM is about as secure as the VHS ‘tape trick’.

AWESOME article Jon, I hope Dan ‘The Joker’ Glickman gets to read it
