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.

    Could this be a Palestinian kick at the Jews they figure run Hollywood?

    failing to realize that Israel has never once started one of the wars that it has participated in.

    Actually, Israel started the last 3 wars in which it particpated. Even their last war against Egypt, which they claimed was started by the Egyptians, was started by Israel. US intelligence (satellite photos and SIGINT) showed that Israel attacked Egypt's air force while it was still on the ground (an odd posture for an invading army) and had moved into the Sinai before Egypt had any clue what was going on.

    The US had an intelligence gathering ship sunk by Israel for their troubles (the USS Liberty).
