Justice Dept. Raids Online Piracy Networks

[nihil]

I've only got one comment about all of this, but before I get to it I'm going to nitpick. It's Source mox, not Sourse hehe... Anyways on to my coment.

You didn't realise that Col. Moxnix would have already deployed a sniper to the clocktower?

It is "comment" not "coment" ..........and I do have the "sauce" to say that.....,

Or are you involved with "Comet Cursors"....................................

The thing that interests me about this whole affair is that it is aimed at "professional" pirating. This is very clearly covered by laws over here in England, and, I would imagine, the rest of Europe.

The RIAA nonsense to date seems to have been stage managed by a shower of retards with a sawn off twelve gauge? If people won't pay for a song, then they will do without, or they will form a little cartel, or unofficial CD library, and swap tracks that way?..............it cannot be traced.....it is physical.

I am totally unconvinced that individuals who swap music actually do harm to the industry, perversely, it may do some good? If you hear one good track maybe two, you might want to buy one of the CDs of your own?.........

It is many years since I worked in the recording industry, but "ownership" (possession) was important then.....not some poor quality ripped off recording?

I agree that there are copyright regulations, and so there should be, or there would be nothing produced.

It seems to me that perhaps someone has spotted the difference between a technical infringement, and a genuine crime? It would be the price of obtaining international co-operation?

Just my thoughts

Cheers

New stats for you all to ponder.

More than two-hundred computers worldwide have been seized, including thirty servers used as storage and distribution centres for the material. One server alone is said to have more than sixty-five-thousand titles on it.

The film, music and software industries have long been pushing for law enforcement agencies to take a tough stance against internet piracy. They say that without copyright protection and enforcement, the artists and distributors behind the work could lose hundreds of millions of dollars.
