MPAA Goes After Its Customers

EyesWideOpen writes "The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is issuing 'takedown' notices to ISP's to alert them that customers are using their internet service to transmit or post copyrighted movies. The ISP's in turn send a letter to the customers threatening to disable their internet connection unless the offending material is removed. The MPAA is using software that 'cruises file-swapping networks like Gnutella to find copyrighted materials, hunts down the IP address of the poster, then discovers which Internet service provider is being used.'"

IRC Chans.

[Grendel Drago]

Oh, and where on IRC are the damned distro chans? #imp-iso seems to be closed now, and I didn't really know any others. (Aside from the #*-central channels on DalNet.)

Where can I get Xena episodes? They're for my girlfriend, honest...
