Hmmmm,

I had a chance to talk to someone today who is a lawyer turned politician (a British MP)............... yes, I know, some people have reached rock bottom and started to dig

He had some interesting ideas along these lines:

1. TorrentSpy don't normally keep logs so this information is not "normally" available.
2. The RAM does contain information, albeit briefly, so to get the courts to accept it as "electronically stored documentation" would mean that it would be classed as "normally stored information".
3. All the MPAA had to do was find a judge either stupid or corrupt enough to go along with this reasoning.

He commented that he did not believe that the argument would even be aired in a British court; but on presentation of a subpoena a simple memory dump at that point in time would suffice as compliance. Obviously, this information would be totally useless to the MPAA.

The insidious bit is that the MPAA through their US judicial poodle are trying to force another private organisation to work for them at that organisation's expense.

I can only hope that the same will happen to the MPAA as happened to that "financial genius" Nelson Bunker Hunt, when he tried to corner the World silver market..................sleeping giants were awoken................
