How The DMCA Is Enforced

Posted by timothy on from the brass-tacks dept.

Hank Scorpio writes "Bob Cringley's latest column talks about a company, BayTSP, that performs most of the enforcement of the DMCA on the Internet. This is the company that collects data about who is sharing music or movies online, and this is the company to go after when you get busted! They claim to "go to the same places any user could go, look at the same files anyone else could look at, and we only probe the ports on your computer that you have made public." Interesting."

    I wonder if Ted Kaczynski reads Slashdot. Probably not with that whole anti-tech thing, huh.

    How do I put this.....GO FUCK YOURSELF. I'm a 25 year old engineer and I get laid on a regular basis asshole. Just because I want something CONVIENIENT WHEN I WANT IT does not mean I am immature. People get urges all the time just like you had the urge to be a smartass. Does that mean your "urge to be an asshole""in about a sentence" will go away once to pull your head out of your ass. Everything changes; I doubt you will

    As I said before--GO FUCK YOURSELF.

    You won't have to wait long. The Americans are just shitting themselves to have you guys in. Didn't you notice how they're making sure no-one has any freedom, just like the Taliban did? Pretty soon, Americans won't be allowed to listen to music, or use the Internet, and American women will have to cover their faces in public. Won't Dubya be happy then?
