A lot of fallout from these last actions, suprnova’s down and not coming back this time (well for the foreseeable future) they’ve even killed any discussion about torrents on their forums.

Many, many others are being killed off

I was thinking about stopping at the mall to pick up a U2 CD, but now that I saw this Chr-stmas lawsuit going on, I think I’ll download the tunes I want. Congratualations RIAA, you just lost another customer. I wil keep downloaading until you re-imburse every one of your victims.

Who does really think that 2/3 of all filesharers live in USA? Hands up! Korea, China, Japan, Germany, Finnland, France (Poland, Sweden, Russia, Turkey…) do provide much more than 2Mio Filesharers and even more than 6Mio (16Mio +-2Mio would be a good guess). Instead of seeing FS as a chance USA (and some of the above countries stupid enough to imitate it) think of it as a new phenomenon they could fight. In the end it will be a loose/loose situation nothing more.

The fact is you’re not supposed to get something for nothing. Sueing people isnt a preventative measure so in the long run it won’t work. People in the music/ entertainment business get paid too much and are treated like heroes. Its a false reality that is screwing the economy more than p2p ever will.

The only way it is going to work out is if there is a compromise – e.g you can download the music but pay a lot less than you would – a CD.

It’s either a compromise or a Revolution. I’m in favor of the latter So who’s with me?

Yeah. I doubt that they’d sue Jenna Bush, Supreme Mafia-Don George W. Bush’s daughter.

Fuck you. That’s idiotic logic, actually, that’s not logic @ all. U’ve stolen a physical product. A download doesn’t equal a theft shit 4 brains. Take your moron theology somewhere else. Who goes on a P2P site and complains about P2P? Go to an ANTI-P2P site.

Some people are complete dumbasses.

I don’t buy shit. If no more music is EVER made again, who gives a fuck. All the best songs have already been written. When’s the last time U’ve wanted to plunk down cash to buy anything new, except some Greatest Hits package.

Yep, there’s http://www.downhillbattle.org/defense/ and also https://secure.eff.org/ are doing a lot to fight this and also protect many other aspects of technology.

Quote:
“We won the Grokster case in the 9th Circuit. The Supreme Court has decided to hear this case in March 2005.

We helped individuals assert their due process rights in cases brought against them by the recording industry.

We won the Bunner case, which held that republishing information about reverse engineering was not prohibited by trade secret law.

We started a patent busting campaign and identified the ten most egregious patent threats to technology and freedom.

We (with your support) helped make sure terrible legislation like the PIRATE Act and the Induce Act did not pass.

We fought the expansion of the DMCA, writing amicus briefs supporting Skylink’s right to make interoperable garage door openers and Static Control’s right to make aftermarket printer cartridges. (We helped win both cases.)

We represented (and continue to represent) Indymedia in an effort to uncover why their servers were seized and to assert their First Amendment rights.

While these victories are sweet, the fight is far from over.
We really could use your financial support for 2005.
EFFector has more than 55,000 subscribers to date, and
EFF has 14,000 dues-paying members. If you haven’t already
done so, please join your fellow EFFector readers in becoming

to you every holiday season.”

This has gone past bizarreness.We need our computer minds to fight this war.It was a computer mind that started it and it can be a computer mind to win it.I have always wondered why it always seems to be a grandmother,child,college student or just your average Joe that gets sued.Do they check first and make sure you have no money or means to fight back? You would think by now a lawyer or someone with the means to fight back would have been sued by now.Think about that.No one person,who has been sued, has had the means to fight back,it just doesn’t sound right.There should be a “Fight the RIAA\MPAA” NATIONAL DONATION CENTER STARTED.I would gladly contribute and I bet many others would to.Am I just dreaming or what?

Hmmm … well it sounds like you don’t have a brain at all.

A “car” is a physical item … if you TAKE it, it means they no longer have that car.

Photocopying, taking a photo of something, recording something, whether it’s a painting, tv show, music, video is COPYING … THE OWNER STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL PHYSICAL ITEM. IDIOT!!
