On the subject of the MPAA trying to receive reimbursement for TV shows that they allege have been dowloaded through this phantom server they claim Kevin and Alexander have allowed, I thought I’d add this little tidbit of factual knowledge from U.S. Law.

The United States Federal Communication Commissions has stated since the 1950’s that the airwaves are public domain, and that any and all sounds and images transmitted through these public airwaves are the domain of the public, not the original broadcaster. Therefore anyone that records such broadcasts through a legal receptor, such as an antenna, VCR, tape recorder, etc. have violated no such laws. Since the broadcasts may later be converted to a recorded computer format and shared with others does not constitute a violation of the law, since they are not profiting from the sharing of the files.

Neither the Production companies, Radio Stations, nor the Television Networks, can claim ownership to the airwaves since it has been decreed by U.S. Law that these are owned by the public at large. So where is their basis for suggesting that just because someone recorded a broadcasted show and then created a computer file from it that they own the rights to it? Especially when it was freely and legally taken from a source that is technically owned by the individual that recorded the broadcast to begin with.

Isn’t it amazing how far the MPAA and RIAA will go to violate the legal rights of people, not just in the United States, to illegally take money that isn’t due them in the first place?

It sounds to me that you should take a page right out of the major music’s defense. Whenever there is a lawsuit against the majors one of the first things you hear is “You are out of your jurisdiction”, meaning that they will quite readily use the being out of country defense to thwart any legal proceedings against them.
