How The DMCA Is Enforced

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."

    They probe the Internet for people doing what they or their customer's don't like, so they can incarcerate people in the real world. Do they not fear they shall be brought into harm in the real world for doing what people don't like on the Internet?

    Surely, if vigilante/mob justice (well-known to be the least corruptable justice system of all) is to retain any respect, THIS COMPANY MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE! I plead to the Vigilante Security Council and all member nations of the United Mob to hold BayTSP accountable for flouting our prudent resolutions on the DMCA issue!

    100% of all child molestors have consumed bread at one point in theri life, it is therefore imperative that we lock up all people you have consumed bread before they harm an innocent child.
