Can I point out “commonsense.com”?

I think we can say all the legal-nazi’s in america have started to lose control of themselves. Just look at this. I think Kazaa should go after them as well. I mean, if they’re going after here. Why not one that’s advertising on more popular sites?

Could it be that part of Sharman’s entertainment cartel entry requirement was to cause a great deal of trouble for P2PNet, perhaps forcing it offline?

Just a thought.

Michael Geist’s Blog at:
http://michaelgeist.ca/
(Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa) redid his website and seems to now have a perm link to P2Pnet.net under “Regular Reads”.

Sorry for going off topic, but… but Michael Geist is like my hero and should be Canada’s next PM or the real Captain Copyright (He just needs a cape)!

I think its like an Honour for you and your website.

Congrats Jon!

Rafael. The connection of Nikki Hemming/Kazaa/RIAA is in deed an ‘interesting’ one at that!

“We feel Nikki Hemming’s decision to sue longtime free-speech ally, Jon Newton of P2Pnet, for libel reflects poorly on Sharman Networks and Kazaa.”

As possibly the person most sued for speaking up (four time in the last 10 years) I want to put my two cents’s worth of opinion.

The four time I have been sued (one case has ended and three are pending) the lawsuits have come, I’m of the opinion, as a result of alliances or deals between the person suing me and the music industry.

In all instances, the person suing me needs badly the music industry for support or as a customer, while the music industry considers my opinions and writings as threatening to their operating methods, which briefly is… theft from artists and songwriters and songwriters heirs like my family.

Here we have a coincidence: Hemmings need the music industry for survival or as a customer. A deal was needed, and made, by Hemmings with RIAA. Are we then not to suppose the Hemmings has a motive to sue Jon as a method to attack p2p file sharing for RIAA, who considers p2p as the death of their industry? Was it part of the deal? I suspect it was, otherwise the lawsuit motive is missing.

Yes, Jon, you were probably sued by the music industry to scare the p2p beleivers and promoters into sumission. The music industry has done that to me four time and now they have done to you.

Eventually we will prevail, you and Il, if we are not to loose all our freedoms (of which we have little here in Puerto Rico, as we are run by Americans – Imagine Canada as still being run by the British). I’m sure that we will prevail, but in the meantime we have to deal with the day to day problem of our ancient laws and court systems. I can’t speak about Canadian judges, but here the courts, especially the American one, are extremely corrupt and anti-puertorican. So, if in Canada things are bad, here in Puerto Rico we share the same distinction.

Best of luck, Jon.
