FOl2TY8 Tribal Liberation Force	Posted - 2009.04.17 17:32:00 - [31] Also I am curious about one thing. I'm not doubting that 70% of the material on TPB is non-copyrighted material but I wonder what are the most popular torrents on TPB? If you go to it and look at the top 100 for any of the sections, movies, tv, software, games etc. everything in those lists are copyrighted. ---------- This post brought to you by the worst PVP'er in Eve

They on the other hand took 0 responsiblity and thus will pay for it.

So..... It's illegal if your home-run, free of charge service becomes succesful? If your home-run site that offers access to Illegal items, then yes it is Illegal as they did not have permission from the holders of the copyrights / patents. But if you had a home-run site that provided access to open-source, non copyright / patented items then no it would not be illegal.

I'm sorry that you guys can't feel like 1337 hackers anymore by downloading free stuff but it is the law. Just because it's easy to do and feels harmless doesn't make it any less criminal. ---------- This post brought to you by the worst PVP'er in Eve

With linking those sites he is supporting the proliferation of copyright infringement which makes him as responsible for copyright infringements done as, for example, the Pirate Bay owners. He should be put into jail and should have to pay a fine for any potential copyright infringements that may have resulted in his activity of cross-linking pirated material. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Try advertising a service called "The coke bay" and arrange meetings between people including soft drink sellers and ******* dealers and see if you can get away with it. Whatever the arguments about corporate pricing and marketing and even the moral arguments copyright theft is a legally a crime and committing a crime or helping others to commit a crime is also illegal. -

These kind of statements are not very creative and they add nothing to whatever argument you are applying them to. Again I ask, can any of you pirate bay proponents come up with an argument for downloading software illegally? I was simply making a statement for those out there that dont get how the world works. I want to change the world. I want to rid our society of the pointless wants of mankind like cash. Make it a fair life for all those who are willing to work together for it. I can't do it however. There are too many ideologies. Religion, greed, social views, moral views, ethics views. Too many differences in opinion. And the Human populace is TOO STUPID. The majority of mankind doesn't care what rights they have, what they can afford to buy, how hard they have to work, as long as they have a place to sleep and food to eat. As I have said many times before, mankind is barely above an ape. It's time to evolve beyond this, but mankind never will. You fail to adapt. It's my belief that we will be extinct by our own hand within 200 years. The way things are going I look forward to it. (in regard to money and corporations having control of law etc, duh, everyone knows money will buy anything. Everyone has a price, your senator, your president, even your mother. if you have the cash you can get ANYTHING) I've resigned myself to simply living my life as comfortably as possible, and then dying eventually. Anything that comes in between thats good is a bonus. And to answer your question, If it was me, I would of drafted a law to crack down on users knowingly uploading the initial illegal content. Any other punishment for illegal content uploading needs to first be handled by ISP's through fines or bandwidth limiting.

It's a massive loophole and it's a shame that big business is still more powerful than the law. Wrong. It's if you were to buy and maintain a website that had tens of thousands of users on it every day (let's use EVE-O for this example), somebody posts a link to a copyrighted image, it isn't removed, and then you get sent to court and convicted. Can anyone think of a website you can interact with (post on) that this DOESN'T happen on? Originally by:* Amoxin My vent is talking to me in a devil voice...

Mother Clanger Viziam	Posted - 2009.04.17 20:54:00 - [48] I don't think anyone can argue that the piratebay founders have always taken a very cavalier approach to the way that they approached copyright. Could they have done more to restrict the kind of torrent files that appeared on the searches? Of course they could, that was the point. The point is that all these companies are sticking to this mentality of "Well this is how we've always done things, so we'll just slightly modify the business model to take into account this new avenue of selling our stuff". They don't take into account that the internet has changed everything. There will always be people who pirate, there's no getting away from it now. These companies are always going on about how they are losing hundreds of millions of pounds to pirates. What does that prove? It proves that a large number of people believe it's not worth handing over their money at the current price point. What if instead they modified the price point or the product to give what people perceive is more inline with their idea of value for money? Why not use the channels they sell in to their respective advantages? Here's a radical idea, what if when a new album is launched, instead of costing a flat ú8 on iTunes, or ú15 in the shops for the first 3 months, ú12 for the first year, ú9.99 for two years after etc., what if instead everything cost ú10 on first release, then the price came down by 10% for every 100,000 purchases? You work with human behavior instead of against it. What if you took the Radiohead approach? You pay what you think the album/film is worth for the download version. Of course some people aren't going to pay a penny. Many people, surprisingly did. Then they released a CD version and a really nice collectors edition that was actually worth paying extra for. Why not take the same approach to DVD/Blu-ray's. Would I be more inclined to pay upwards of ú15 for a new DVD if I was getting something physical in the box that actually made it worth buying a physical copy? Of course. Use the damn medium to its advantage. Don't get me started on the stealth increase in the initial price point that is Blu-ray. ú25 for a new film when DVD was always ú16-17? Yeah, that'll be inflation of course, not money grabbing studios. Things are starting to change. Spotify, Apple film rentals, DRM free music, Nokia "Come with Music". If only these companies would take their heads out of the collective arses, experiment and try a few new innovative business models, the world would actually be on their side. As it stands I cannot wait for a few startups to come along pound these idiots into yesterday. - MC

After all they supplied the electricity that powers the computer that enables you to see the screenshot of a website that is enabling people to download illegally. Of course you can continue to argue this point or you can offer arguments about why you think TPB is not participating in illegal activity. simple..because it didn't host any of the files itself....it was a search engine just like google etc etc. You type say wall-e torrent in google and you will get a list of torrent files for it...so maybe we should sue google or yahoo or any other search engine out there... they are not responsible for what other people do.....piracy is a crime yes - I agree, but I don't agree that the pirate bay was breaking any laws...again 70% of it is legal stuff. This all stems from the fat cat suits at emi, warner etc etc wanting to keep their 90% share of all incomes, the trial was a farce and the guilty verdict was bought and paid for no matter how much evidence to the contray was published...and in my opinon TPB had some damn good evidence on their side....

ReaperOfSly Gallente Zetsubou Corp	Posted - 2009.04.17 21:15:00 - [51] Any piece of software, any mp3 and any video, all it is is one long binary number. It's legally impossible to copyright a number. Therefore, it is legally impossible to copyright digital content. I like this argument. It makes a mockery of the whole concept of copyright, and is logically water-tight. ____________________
FOl2TY8 Tribal Liberation Force	Posted - 2009.04.17 21:38:00 - [52] First of all that TED presentation has nothing to do with pirating copyrighted material. Clanger I think your ideas about what the entertainment industry should do to fix pirating are exactly correct. Fixing the problem instead of desperately trying to keep the status quo are what businesses should concentrate on. The outcome of this trial will have zero affect on piracy regardless of the verdict. However what TPB is doing is illegal in my opinion because they are not just a general search engine. They are a search engine for torrents exclusively and they did very little self policing if any at all. I'm sure that the trial was a mess because the entertainment industries are out of touch with the majority of society and TPB owners are "cavalier" in their approach to the law. Doesn't change the fact that what they are doing is in fact illegal which has been proved in a court of law. If you don't like that then you always have the appeal to look forward to. Just because OJ Simpson probably killed Nicole Brown doesn't change the fact that he is innocent of murder. ---------- This post brought to you by the worst PVP'er in Eve

"ah sure, i'm not the one doing it so its fine....." they knew full well that the site was being used to facilitate share copyrighted materials. the court couldn't prove it 100% on evidence but i reckon the judge went with his common sense.

Did they moderate the search engine to prevent the sharing of Copyright protected items? No, Did they provide a means for the sharing of Copyright Protected Items? Yes, Did they knowingly allow it to continue with out impedance? Yes. With this said, They faciliated the crime. By this reasoning, your ISP is equally guilty.

That said I wish they had gotten off because even if the law is on the side of the corporations the law is stupid. I fileshare all the time, ** THE MAN! it might be illegal but in my country so are drugs I do all sorts of illegal because I am in it for me, not some faceless suit. EDIT: Lol at all you legal eagles trying to justify their filesharing, seriously. The NAME OF THE SITE is "PIRATE BAY", they obviously knew what they were doing was illegal and they obviously knew the site existed solely to provide copyrighted material illegally. There is no way you can say "oh they only tracked the files blah blah blah". They knew the score and they knew the risks. It finally caught up to them. EDIT2: They even flaunted their illegal activities in the legal threats section of the site where they posted the requests to remove copyrighted material and flipped the companies the bird and let the files remain. There is no way they could win in court because they are obviously criminals. You guys should argue that "the law is stupid" or "** the man who cares if it is illegal", not "these guys are innocent and they have no dirt on their hands whatsoever the pirate bay existed to distribute my garage bands demo tape etc etc it is just a coincidence that it is the most popular site for illegal filesharing on the internet".

Realise that just because all you dare to look for is copyrighted stuff, doesn't mean that its mostly copyrighted stuff. But it IS mostly copyrighted stuff. The vast majority is copyrighted. And to the people saying "but they only tracked it", well the torrent would not exist without a tracker so they directly facilitated it. Unlike google who simply indexes what exists, TPB made the torrent happen and brought it INTO existence. I am sure that that is the crux of the legal argument and it is an insurmountable one. TPB is GUILTY and the courts rightfully determined that. However as I have said I am all for piracy and I wish they could have gotten away with it, but it IS illegal and they DID break the law.
