Usenet...

so unless they send my Usenet provider a court document and then sift through all that to find me...

piss off to the (officially Government sounding [i'm sure they did that for a reason]) U.S. Copyright group.

Re: A great feel bad film.

The underlying theme(s) of every movie is the same.

Love
Money
Greed
Good guy / bad guy

And there may be one or 2 more "themes", but they are all the same. The only difference is how they get there and what they show you to influence your feeling of that theme(s).

Saying it is not original material can be extended to virtually everything including games and music.

Re: if twc wins this kinda suemall will be over

The law firm sending out the threats and demands is also threatening TW. One of their lawyers claims that by failing to give up the subscriber names fast enough, and explaining their limited ability to process thousands of requests at once, Time-Warner Cable is "inducing copyright infringement". ( »arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news···gers.ars )

This is copyright extremism and it's gone too far. We need laws to set higher standards for ISPs releasing customer data, and to provide some relief for people who are forced to pay even if they're innocent, because they can't afford lawyers.

Whiners

That movie looked like it sucked!
It surely did suck at the Box Office and now the whiney bitch-punk-ass producers are crying like bitch-ass punk babies!

Hmmmm.....

The only way someone like me, who is not predisposed to think our soldiers are a bunch of rogue cowboys hellbent on revenge running outside the chains of command, would be to watch it is to download it. Now, the question with this action by the producers to criminally prosecute anyone who obtained the film "illegally" has to be this - when they won the Oscar they yakked about how important the film was and how important it was that people see it... ok, was it more important people saw the film or that they profited from people seeing? Seems like it's already been answered which dissolves the whole "important" part the movie is.

US Copyright go die

This is so stupid. Finding more ways to sqeeze $ out of everyone. Such bullshit. Hope they eat poison and die. I am glad Timewarner is not bothering with the these idiots. Such a waste of time and money. I watched this movie in theaters when it came out and I am really surprised it beat Avatar. Hurt locker wasn't THAT great really. Avatar was better even though it was a "cartoon"....it really was something different.

HAHA! Look at this page: »www.copyrightsettlement.info/index-3.html

Funny highlighted in BOLD

" * PROBLEM: ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS COSTS THE MOVIE INDUSTRY $20.5 BILLION EACH YEAR*. IN THE FIRST WEEK OF A DVD RELEASE THERE ARE MORE THAN 30,000 UNLAWFUL DOWNLOADS^.
* SOLUTION: THE US COPYRIGHT GROUP WILL ASSIST WITH COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT
"
It's nice that they're going to help us download the Hurt Locker

What a bunch of amateur hacks. Freaking ambulance chasers with a website is what they are.

greedy hacks

Looks like their 'evidence' would be flimsy at best. If someone hired a decent lawyer, the case would be thrown out before it came to trial. They're counting on none of their victims 'targets' having competent legal counsel.

It'd serve them right if one of their 'targets' with competent legal counsel filed a countersuit for harassment and malicious use of the civil court system and took them for a ton of money.

Want to stop piracy? Sell a quality product, online, for a reasonable cost [can you hear me, M$, Adobe, **AAs?] and get rid of the DRM. Otherwise the pirated product is not only cheaper, it's easier to use.

I don't support piracy, but I can understand why others would.

Re: Hurt what?

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should strip the producers of the Hurt Locker for Best Picture. This movie does not worth seeing, Let along the .torrent file.

said by RARPSL:

Since this is BitTorrent we are talking about, EVERYONE who is downloading it is also hosting those parts ("pieces") of the file that they have already downloaded. Only once you have finished downloading the full file do you go into full Hosting (AKA Seeding) Mode.
Not entirely accurate... You can download without sharing. At least you could back in the day when I tried it... I haven't used Bit Torrent in a few years now.
Unless you use a special hacked BT Client (which does not seed) the only time you are not going to share is when some of the peers you are connected to are Seeds and all the others in the pool either do not connect to you or already have the pieces you have. Under normal situations, you will share the pieces you have with any peer who asks you for them. The protocol is designed to have you share and the fact that you do not actually do so is dependant on what peers you are talking to and what pieces they want/need.

The point I was making is that you host the pieces (or the full file) and if asked you will supply them. The fact that due to the number of Seeds in the pool and the number of leaches (those peers who do not yet have the full file) you are not actually distributing pieces does not alter the fact that you are still hosting them.

No one is going to jail

People. LISTEN. Absolutely no one is going to jail.

This is a CIVIL suit, not a criminal one. Anyone who decides not to pay up will most likely civil suit brought against them. This does not mean jail time of 1, 3, 5 years. That's not how it works.

I do feel bad for individuals with unsecured wireless networks. There's a lot of hooting and hollering that the burden of proof is on Copyright group to show that the account holder is the responsible party and not a "leecher". That's not how it works either. If you operate a wireless network in your home or business, you are responsible for the traffic (e.g. neighbors, customers, etc.) that filters in and out of it.

Protect your networks!!
