| Voltage - still no cease and desist letter? I love how urgent they made it sound in court to get these titles off P2P yet they can't seem to draft a simple cease and desist for TSI to distribute.
Marc: is anything happening on this front or are they taking a flying leap like we all hope they are? |

That's cuz what voltage stated is a complete joke.
When they bitched about how their IP-property was available by these few people and was continuing to create huge losses for them, it really was a joke. I laughed when they stated this.
The lousy few TSI-only people who may be continuing to upload (if they are) pale in comparison to the American's or the rest of the world for that matter.
And keep in mind, this is likely only one release. Warez, movies and so forth have diff release groups and the average indie guy on P2P with a diff version/formatting of the same thing.
So I think the voltage "lawlyer" was just looking for a chuckle. A cheap laugh. He didn't really mean it. |

It clearly isn't of any importance to them to do so despite their protestations otherwise. Case dismissed. |

Re: Voltage - still no cease and desist letter? I don't know about that? I think Voltage sees just how lucrative it can be if you can obtain an ip address. We've seen the billions of dollars Direct Tv got from pirates of their signal who bought hardware to steal their signals. The ones who bought online got stung by the companies that sold them hardware and rolled over and provided all the ip addresses to obtain a lesser sentence themselves. |

| It wasn't IP addresses for satellites, it was credit card info which is very unlike an IP address IMO |

Why would they want people to stop? They need more people pirate their crap. This is their extortionist business model. If you cut all the pirates how are they going to make money. |

Re: Voltage - still no cease and desist letter? Unfortunately, they are trying to gain free publicity for their crappy films which no one seems to want to watch.
BTW: I made myself watch (streaming off-course) their Seal Team Six ... whatever name movie:
Horror of horrors, it is so crap that when they are supposedly depicting a scene in Peshawar (Pakistan), it is actually shot in India, because the clowns keep showing a sign on a shop repeatedly, (with the intent of trying to confuse average viewers) -> That sign is in Hindi, from India. No way would anybody be caught having a store sign in Hindi in Urdu speaking Pakistan, let alone the Pakistani wild west of Peshawar.
Besides they also did not bother to mask the vehicle number plates, which were obviously from Maharashtra (India) of which Mumbai / Bombay is the Capital city.
That was one sad pathetic excuse of a movie. No wonder they need free publicity for their crap. |

| reminds me of American "made in Canada movies" ... in several scenes in the start of one movie, they removed images of the CN Tower when taken of the skyline from the Islands. Towards the end of the movie there were a couple scenes where they didn't even bother to maintain the illusion.
Then there was Short Circuit 2, where Ben got his US Citizenship (with American Flag flying proudly) on the steps of Queens Park! |

IMHO. It looks like voltage's nutz are in a Vise now cause "cease and desist letter" must tell alleged "pirates" to STOP SHARING BS "works" + REMOVE THEM FROM THE HARD DRIVE (so they are not "shared" anymore). voltage clowns do not want people to remove their BS "works" form hard drives cause NO BS "works" - no "evidence" in case they want to take some people to court to make an exemplary case with hard drive forensics etc. voltage's "lawyers" NEED THERE BS "works" on people's hard drives, otherwise their extortion scheme is not going to work. So a requirement to issue of "cease and desist letter" is a literal command to voltage to go and f..k themselves right now while they are not yet liable for more money then they owe TSI for their BS inquiry to get personal info of account holders in a first place.

| Something happened today..
Communication to the Court from the Registry dated 04-FEB-2013 re: Motion Doc#8
Doc #8 is CIPPIC's motion to intervene, so it sounds like a decision on that may be coming soon.

...The only movie that makes me cry....although I frequented the "FUN AND GAMES" Amusement center in the movie back in my University days! Fun times....
...The reason why it makes me cry?...I dunno, when they (spoiler alert) bash up Johnny 5 and leave him for dead...
Although sbrook, for the record, at least in 1 part of the movie, Johnny 5 does say the correct street in it being "Lakeshore" aka Lakeshore Blvd. I try and give them credit for that lol. |
