Re: Straight From The Twitter Feed... I'll be here all week. Try the veal. 
In trial developments on day 3, the entertainment industry tried to explain how they arrived at the amount of damages they're claiming. »www.thelocal.se/17670/20090218/
quote:
The industry’s damage claims are based in part on the estimated amount of sales lost to file sharing over the Pirate Bay. “But the damage is greater than that for the companies,” said Danowsky. “The alternative of free downloading creates an impossible competitive situation for legal downloading. This is about a purposeful crime on a grand scale with significant income as a result,” continued Danowsky, who doubts assertions by the four defendants don’t have the resources to pay the compensation claims.
quote:
For every downloaded copy of Harry Potter, the companies are requesting 261.48 kronor, while they want 222.55 kronor per downloaded copy of Syriana, Walk The Line, and Pink Panther. Downloaded copies of the Prison Break television series, meanwhile, are to be compensated to the tune of 415.81 kronor each.
The compensation claim is meant to cover not only “market damage”, according to Wadsted, but also “internal damages”.
So their damages claimed are based on:
A guess about sales lost.
A complaint about competition.
A vague phrase: "market damage" (perhaps this is the same as the "lost sales" guess).
A vague phrase: "internal damage".
The last one sounds like injury to bodily organs. Did Pirate Bay steal their kidneys?

| I love this stuff, the judge has to throw this garbage out of court due to the fact that the damage claims are unsupportable!
BTW, what about all the sales GAINED due to P2P downloads??
Did they factor those in too??
I personally have made hundreds of dollars worth of purchases because I could find the song on a P2P site and wanted the CD it appeared on...
I'll bet they have NOT figured that into their equation...

Intelligent comments about The Pirate Bay & why they should die And the case for why The Pirate Bay criminals should lose:
»tech.yahoo.com/news/pcworld/2009···theplank
If justice prevails, The Pirate Bay will sink. The four men on trial in Sweden for running the site, which makes money by enabling Internet piracy, should be found guilty of making copyrighted material easily available to those who wish to download it. The Pirate Bay makes its living off piracy, and that’s bad. It allows millions of Internet users to steal music, movies, games, and so on. Only two groups truly believe Pirate Bay and its ilk are on the up and up: The loony, all-content-must-be-free crowd, and copyright violators hoping to apply a dubious, Robin Hoodesque moral code to their own particular brand of thievery.Finally, there are easy ways to share music without winding up in court. Music-sharing sites such as Last.FM and Lala.com are two good examples of how to do it legally. Jeff Bertolucci, PC World » www.pcworld.com/article/159732/i···ank.html

Any article using the word "ilk" isn't worth reading.
