RIAA/MPAA vs. xMule Author, EarthStation 5

Posted by michael on from the lunge-and-riposte dept.

Two bits of news in the ongoing battle between the RIAA/MPAA and the rest of the internet: One P2P company, apparently based in Palestine, has thrown down the gauntlet to the movie industry. Meanwhile, a developer of another P2P tool who unwisely chose to live in the USA has been shut down (mirror) by the RIAA.

    That's all we need. The MPAA and RIAA getting involved in the Middle East. I wonder if Big Oil will like the competition.

    OMG! It's what I call a man who has BALLS!!

    He certainly does. Calling Bruce Almighty a first class movie takes something special.
