The whole idea that they can catch people looking at illegal videos simply by monitoring the filenames is beyond scary.

You have the astounding arrogance for thinking it is alright to steal music just so you can get a “market price.” Did it ever, ever occur to you that allofmp3 can get you that price because it shafts the recordiing artist and the copyright holder>?
Copyrights are not some unfair shackle. They are a legitimate and honorable way to safeguard rights. You are supporters of pirates.

Excellent ost.

I can only add…

It takes two to tango. The bastards who operate the BPI and the bastard politicians/statemen who have sold their conciense and who do not have the valor of telling the BPI publicly what this poster is saying, that they have their priorities all wrong.

“those who actually wrote, composed and produced the music do get paid. None of that happens with AllofMP3.”
[citation needed]

your proof for that claim comes from whom?

as far as i understand the (more objective) reports about this russian distribution channel, they have a license with russian equivalent of GEMA BEMI ASCAP and co.
And the western artist just don’t get any money because THEIR organisations ACTIVELY REFUSE to make deals with the russion licensors for allofmp3 (IIRC: ROMS)
So its NOT the sites fault that only russian artists get money from there, but its the fault of the greedy western corporations that don’t want to make business with allofmp3

There is just one fundamental difference between AllofMP3 and other services who charge for downloads–those who actually wrote, composed and produced the music do get paid. None of that happens with AllofMP3. So before claiming that $1 per song is usurious and AllofMP3 offers better value, just think about who makes a buck or two… AllofMP3 are not philanthropists, they make profits too, but on the back of musicians and, yes, labels.

The G8 meetings – especially THIS ONE! – is not the place for this type of action or lobbying.

The bastards who operate the BPI (RIAA, MPAA, etc. are probably in on this too), have shown by their request (read “order”) that Beckett pressure Russia to close Allofmp3.com – a legal business – that they have absolutely no regard for human life, dignity, or the pursuit of peace and happiness in the world.

Their only regard is for profit and how to monopolise their respective industries, squeezing out competition and milking customers dry.

When war is raging between Israel, Gaza, and the Hezbollah in Lebanon…when civil war is going on in Iraq, Somalia and Ethiopia…when freedoms and human rights are being taken away from POWs in US custody…the cartels only think of themselves and their stockholders, and not the lives of the people – innocent and guilty, civilian and miltary, and children – who are being killed and tortured daily.

The aim of G8 meetings – especially THIS ONE! – is not to highlight issues of the thieving, lying multinational corporations in the entertainment industry. Their job, their ONLY job – especially at THIS G8 MEETING! – is to look for ways to stop the killing and torture and other human rights abuses in order to bring peace and stability (even pockets of it) to the world – if that’s at all possible.

A G8 meeting is not a forum or an “open mic night” for the cartels to spout their lies and complain that filesharing or cheaper alternatives are ruining their business.

Take a look at the news headlines and see what’s happening in the real world.

I’m not a fan of the NWO and Don’t agree with ninety-nine percent of what they do, but at least let them try to do their jobs without you bastards elbowing your way into government policy.

To paraphrase from “Casablanca”:

“It doesn’t take much to see that the problems of the thieving, lying BPI (and other entertainment cartels) bastards don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday they’ll understand that.”

(To Warner: Just try and sue me for copyright infringement for paraphrasing a quote from a film that’s in the collective consciousness of the world. The quote is readily available on thousands of websites. You wanna sue anyone, start with Google.

And to the BPI and other bastard cartel members: I’d like to see you sue me for libel and defamation. Just try it and see where it gets you.)
