bob, take your medicine, you are twisting things too much. I don't recall ppl getting sued for file sharing in the 60's and 70's. Neither for copying a cassette and giving that copy to a friend in the 80's (or whenever cassettes were the most advanced tech). Same with VHS. No bob, sorry but even citations are not needed to show you are totally wrong (again, despite having deviated from the previous point).
And it's not about fat bank accounts either. Ask Louis CK if he will ever sue any1 that downloaded his stuff. And he's just one example.
As for MU, Dotcom is obviously cashing the checks. I mean, it's his business, it's supposed to generate money. He cashed a few bucks from me and my team before MU met its demise cause we used it intensively to share files from a project.
P2P doesn't pay anything. People that use P2P might pay if you deserve. Or if it sounds interesting (see kickstarter and the $10M project). You showed yet again how out of touch you are. Again, go take your medicine.
wow.. you are so wrong in so many ways in your reply that I think you just broke your own record of trolling, bob.
Oh come on. Who really screws over the artists and the creators? The lawyers and suits who only give the artist 15% or the P2P cheapskates who give them 0%. If we measure the crime by how much ends up in the hands of the artists, the P2P nutcakes are infinitely more evil because they give the artist zip, zero, zilch.
This is not true. You are generalizing the P2P world. While there are the ones that would never pay for anything they are NOT the entirety of the file sharing world. Much like not all copyright is bad.
As for the British institution issue, please, stop. While there MIGHT have been the case at some point we are talking about a library. You are accusing a library of stealing? Srsly?
Uh, just because someone misuses X-- and gets called on it-- doesn't mean that X is bad. That holds whether you replace X with "copyright", "surgery", "love" or anything you like.
Interesting, Megaupload comes to mind. Two weights, two measures?
Except that Google profits from ads generated by a good service provided by their diversified array of products. Incidentally, the content industry is profiting from that platform (see Youtube Content ID) at the expense of Google infra-structure. Should be reasonable that they paid for usage of that infra-structure, no?
Not to mention you just showed that Google removes the links amazingly fast for the amount of complaints received.
Also, it's amusing that this AC also ignores the other tools the MAFIAA can use to fight with piracy without any stupid draconian law: make it more readily and easily available, in more formats and without abyssal-dumb DRM or region restriction.
The problem with using Google takedown tools and the ones I mentioned is that they'll require both effort and accepting less profit per sale.

And they wonder why some people turn to piracy. "Because you're acting like a d*ck! And treating everyone as criminals or as criminals in the making, even the ones who are clearly not. Not to mention you are now trying to tell them what they can do, when they can do it, how they can do it and so on so forth. Basically, you're acting like an egomaniacal control freak."
lol, srsly? Don't tell me you watch every single commercial shown on TV? Do you use diapers just in case you feel like taking a leak during the breaks?
You filthy pirate, don't tell me you are doing it? We'll have to sue you for $150.000 for each time you went to the bathroom or get some popcorn during the ad break. /clueless_MAFIAA_exec
Just thought that. And it's amusing most ppl are just ignoring and not replying. Makes for a study here: at what degree of trolling ppl will simply 'heh' and don't bother to play with the troll?
That's how our current system works. It has no sympathy for any1 except money. Greeks are not at fault for the current situation. The Govt is along with the EU. They should default and every1 involved should pay the price, the austerity measures requested by the bail out idiots are not human. Just like the system isn't human.

No, it's not isolated. And MU had DMCA procedures. And shitloads of legit use. It's not that easy, bob.

Copyright never stopped anyone from creating their own culture, it just stops them from plagiarizing someone else's.
That's how it's supposed to be and that's what we are discussing here.

Bah, the solution is quite simple, we just need to time-shift ourselves to the moment the program is airing. Easy.
On another news: Time-shift Corp to sell first portable time-machine so everyone can watch their favorite shows without infringing copyright
