Slashdot Mirror


Convicted by the Movie Cops

Reckless Visionary writes "Salon has a great article about what it's like to get on the MPAA's bad side. It's a first hand account of what happens when you are accused of violating the DMCA and commentary on the "guilty until proven innocent" nature of today's copyright laws." Pirate movies. Lose access. You are guilty. And this guy was on vacation when it happened, so there's no need for accountability. Hope you don't depend on your net access.

  3. What would you do... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ...with five dollars? Imagine... five whole dollars in your pocket (if you're an open-source programmer, you know that five dollars is a veritable fortune). What do you do with it?

    Why, if you're a typical Linux zealot, you...

    BUY A SHARE OF LNUX!!!!!

    But what do you do with the rest of the money? Three bucks and a quarter is still a fortune (remember, you're an open-source programmer here). There's only one thing to do: you...

    BUY ANOTHER SHARE OF LNUX!!!!!

    But you still have a buck fifty! A vast amount (open-souce programmer, remember)! There's only one thing to do with it: you...

    BUY AN HOUR OF WILD ANAL PASSION FROM SOME SLUTTY HO

    But you still have a buck and a quarter! A huge amount (open-source, yadda yadda yadda)! What do you do but:

    BUY ANOTHER HOUR OF CRAZED ANIMAL LUST FROM A TWO BLUE-COLLAR LOSERS

    So now you have one dollar left. You now own two shares of LNUX that are worth a dollar each, you have herpes and genital warts from the ho, and a bleeding rectum from the losers. What do you do? You ... you ... you don't know that to do with it.

    Well, since you're an open-source programmer, you won't have to worry about what to do with all that money, since you'll never have five dollars to begin with.

    That flag represents more ignorant and silly left-wing conspiracy theories. It plays in the Church of Chomsky, but not in the real world.

    Y'know this is bullshit.

    Fuck the MPAA
    Fuck the DCMA

    Fuck them all.... I don't pirate anything, but now I'm terrified that one day I'll be accused of it and that will be that: Guilty until proven innocent. The legal system is doing a great job of screwing the common man over.

    OT:

    Slashdot requires you to wait 20 seconds between hitting 'reply' and submitting a comment.

    It's been 19 seconds since you hit 'reply'!


    HEY TACO!

    When stupid shit like this starts happening because I can type at a reasonable speed, the trolls have won. You're impeding MY ability to post reasonable things because of your annoying fucking lameness bullshit filters. Asshole.
