MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers

aacool writes "The MPAA has filed a first wave of lawsuits against individuals they say are offering pirated copies of films using Internet-based peer-to-peer file sharing programs." From the article: "The MPAA said it would also make available a computer program that sniffs out movie and music files on a user's computer as well as any installed file sharing programs. The MPAA said the information detected by the free program would not be shared with it or any other body, but could be used to remove any 'infringing movies or music files' and remove file sharing programs."

Mod parent down - bullshit

um, precisely what the fuck are you talking about?

I can see that you may seem to think that we can download music legally, and we can, although uploading it IS in most probability, illegal. I say probably, because it hasn't yet been tested in court. For more information on the topic of music sharing in Canada, I would suggest visiting CanFLI.

But movies? SOFTWARE? You are only fooling yourself, so stop trying to bullshit others into your fucked up and misinformed point of view and go pay your damn software license fees, you fucking pirate. I mean seriously, did you even bother to research this, or did someone on IRC just tell you and you assumed it was true? jeez...
