Re: Govrn..I'm not sure about this, and I welcome any Oz readers to correct me on this, but I think the filter idea was cooked up by the previous Howard government, and the current Rudd government is just continuing it. | |

What a wasteWhat an incredible waste of $4 million. Hollywood should be ashamed of themselves for needlessly throwing away money in today's economy.
How are we citizens supposed to take things like this seriously when such rampant and wasteful management of money and resources is exemplified like this for us?
Good job iiNet for keeping to your principles and teaching these scumbags a lesson. All that Hollywood has taught us in this exercise is that its easy to blame others for Hollywood complete failure at creating a viable business model. | |

Re: What a wasteThe same crowd that is the RIAA/MPAA is also PETA. Go to the PETA website and you will understand where these loonies are coming from. Be sure to check out the Lettuce Ladies. The sweeties used to actually wear nothing but lettuce leaves but apparently when they where protesting at conventions of meat producers the learing convention goers wilted the leaves too fast. | |

Re: What a waste Lettuce Ladies | | Broccoli Boys |
If PETA was only about the bad treatment of animals it would be OK. But look at what they espouse they look upon domestic dogs as slaves and should not exist. Don't drink milk because milk cows are slaves. If you eat a ham sandwich you are evil. Wear leather shoe you are evil. The Lettuce Ladies, and the Broccoli Boys are for real. I do agree the Hollywood Land crowd should be laughed at. The point is the same loons that support and work with the major studios are either members or for political reasons support PETA. The same mind set rules both. | |

The US needs Judges like Justice CowdroyMaybe then the RIAA/MPAA could focus their energy on making a business model that actually works rather than fighting to preserve one that should have died with the Dinosaurs. | |

Re: The US needs Judges like Justice Cowdroysaid by Timmn:Maybe then the RIAA/MPAA could focus their energy on making a business model that actually works rather than fighting to preserve one that should have died with the Dinosaurs. What I object to is the way the RIAA and MPA are constantly trying to manipulate and use governments to force other industries and their own customers into propping up their business model. | |

Re: The US needs Judges like Justice CowdroyWhat really sucks about them trying to influence the government is the way they play parrot. They keep repeating and spouting the same shit over and over again through their lobbies, until the old farts on capitol hill start believing it!
The studios and the record industry need to go to hell, and learn to adapt to the rest of the world instead of vise-verse. | |

Good newsI have always maintained, an ISP shouldn't be responsible for what their end users do, over their networks.
I'd love to see some results like this in the US.
Where are all the loud mouths at? | |

It only makes senseIf the RIAA/MPAA etc can't find ways to control pirating of THEIR product, then that pretty much means they've been beat. Its plain and simple. Its not anyone else's responsibility to do they're job for them. They're question should be "how can we prevent people from pirating our product?" Answer..."we've tried and we can't figure it out yet". So this means simply, that until they do learn how, then they are going to have to deal with it. What is so hard to understand about that? | |

Re: It only makes senseTheir closing statement at this trial was probably akin to the crybaby session that one awarded exec of one of the big labels performed at this year's Grammy Awards stating that if media that isn't within their total grasp continues to be freely distributed that they would be forced to lay off their already probably underpaid backup musicians or what he called "startups." Maybe once their model is taken down "startups" wouldn't feel the need to have to slave away so much for overinflated pop icons in order to be granted airtime later in their lives. | |

What is so hard to understand about that? answer is funny cause they too have been pirating since 1980 they havent paid any canadian artists and are being sued for 6 billion. WHEN they don't pay why the frak should i or YOU? and if you'd consider that download a cdr at 4 megabit = 2 cents cost that means you sending to me pay 2 cents then id say lowering your cost to a very reasonable 20cents a movie , 10cents a tv ep, and 5 cents a entire music cdr are quite healthy returns , this is why despite drives of people NOT BUYING they are still making money | |

Sue the power co while you're at it...If ISPs are being sued for allowing piracy to happen, then wouldn't that be the same thing as suing the power company for providing the electricity that makes marijuana grow-ops possible? | |

HIGH FIVE, JUSTICE COWDROY!It's really heartening and a big breath of fresh air to see that not all courts have caved in to the greedy demands and manipulation of the entertainment industries.
Sad to say, but only in America is pure greed a driving force in the justice system. Only here, can we be assured that the ISPs will bite the hand that feeds them. | |
