BitTorrent Gives Hollywood a Headache

fudgefactor7 writes "Although the MPAA and the RIAA, and practically anyone else who has an interest in protecting their intellectual property rights online, are fighting against P2P programs like EDonkey, Morpheus, and Napster, BitTorrent is coming under even greater scrutiny, albeit with less actual success so far, and that is giving Hollywood a headache, since they really don't know what to do about it and they can't go to Cohen and moan. Once he let the genie out of the bottle there was no way to put it back in. And with the likes of PeerGuardian, et. al., it only gets harder for the corporations to put the virtual, and legal, smackdown on file sharing."

Fucking AC and ./ grammar Nazis... If you understand the message, what else does it matter? Instead of being thankful to be able to communicate over the entire mapamond, regardless of distance and language barriers, you're being picky on the grammar of a (probably) non-native English speaker.

Loser... I bet you don't know any foreign languages, and if you did, you probably, wouldn't rise to the level of the grand-parent poster.

Disclaimer: I am one of those non-native English speakers.

Since when did federal law apply to corporations? Meh. It no longer surprises me to know we're living in a communist dictatorship where companies own everything you pay for.
