Unfortunately these scumy record companies would just treat such a fund as another source of income. Income they don’t deserve. The only way to fight the cartel is to stop buying their products. Kill the root and the weed stays away.

Clearly, they seem to think that file sharing is a crime beyond murder and worse. It is unheard of (or at least very rare) that any car manufacturer would be taken to court/sued because a driver killed or maimed people, even if the drivers intent was deliberate. On the same notion an Alcoholic Beverage manufacturer or Bar is not taken to court for supplying Alcohol to a drink driver, knowing that they had the possible intent of breaking the law. Even further, a gun manufacturer is rarely taken to court when one of their firearms was used to kill or injure a person, when it is clear knowledge to all concerned that their weapons are used on an everyday basis to kill or injure people (a use that is clearly evident by the contracts and use by police forces around the world). So, WHY in hells name can anybody attribute a link on a web-site to assisting with a crime, they are all identical in that they are all tools that assist in commiting crime, and with the suppliers all knowing that the user may possibly commit a crime with their “product”. I mean you can conceivably commit a crime with ANYTHING, but it doesn’t mean everybody gets sued (well, except in America!). I guess it’s simply a matter of money … the little man seems to be powerless… Suggestion, how about a “P2P Suing Network” where alone we are powerless but combined we can take on these f’ing big corps? $1 a month each from the millions of P2P users, would go a long way to battle these sorts of cases.

There is no higher court than the supreme court in Norway. And yes, it’s the same court that gave us the decss-ruling.

I think someone should use the “you better sue yahoo and google now, too” argument soon.

I hope they appeal this idiocy.
