MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators
Just another Coward writes "DSL Reports grabbed a copy of the lawsuit threat letters sent by the MPAA to the bittorrent website owners. This latest document was sent to a Torrent site called 'demonoid.com', which is now offline."
They should at least post funny responses, like like pirate Bay

Here was a sample response PirateBay sent to Dreamworks
lol. oh and first post?just a web application developer and instructor in Toronto, ON Canada
Where can I get an IP address like that? :)
people mistake "free exchange of ideas" and "I don't have to pay for it."

Well the article is somewhat interesting, like where they point out that the cited address has a '.450' in it.
But the real gem so far (in my oddball opinion) has been the discussion of anthracite vs. bituminous coal that followed. That thread was nine messages and two pictures of coal long last time I checked. AND, I felt like I actually learned something on slashdot. Not something I'm likely to use, but interesting trivia for Christmas parties at least.

TFA says: 66.250.450.10
Maybe mirror is located at 666.666.666.666...
There you are, staring at me again.
Oh right, because they never went after technologies designed for file sharing. I'm sorry, your dickness. I'll go back being a moron and living in the real world then. Let me know when you're back from la la land.
I'd hate to be his mom. "You went to jail for WHAT?? Couldn't you have been doing something I wouldn't be embarrassed to tell my book club about, like drugs or attempted murder!?"
First they came for Napster
and I did not speak out
because I switched to Kazaa.
Then they came for Kazaa
and I did not speak out
because I switched to bit torrents.
Then they came for bit torrents
and I did not speak out
because I switched to ED2K.
Then they came for ED2K
and there was no one left
for the entertainment industry
to blame for their troubles.
So they went out of business,
and now there is only me.
Don't use the word, "gay" to mean bad. That's so retarded.

This was posted by a user named "footballdude" on DSLreports.com, so I cannot take the credit for it but it made me laugh and I think it's worth re-posting here (I added the part about the invalid address).

The conversation in court, regarding the letter to the website owners where the complaintant claims they face "severe sanctions" should they delete any pirated material or usable evidence in the case against them, might go something like this:
"Your honor, these malcontents deliberately destroyed evidence against them."
"What evidence?"
"The stuff you destroyed."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Our programmers traced your IP address and saw copyrighted material."
"You mean the impossible address of 66.250.450.10 you listed? Who has that address, anyway?"
"We meant to say
"They were mistaken, I don't have any copyrighted material."
"Because you deleted it!"
"I never had any. Even if I did, wouldn't you want me to delete it?"
"No! We wanted you to keep it."
"If you want me to keep it, why are you suing me for having it?"
"Your honor, please remove the defendant and issue a summary judgement for twenty thousand dollars."

Piracy appears mainstream only on Slashdot.
That's a pretty cyncical thing to say after the RIAA and members of Congresss justified the DMCA with all this crap about widespread piracy sweeping across the market. You can't be saying they were lying purely as a power grab. I'm deeply shocked.
...but then I saw that these guys were using bandwidth to distribute Garfield: The Movie.
For that, I say "Hang the fuckers. Hang 'em high."
Then find the people that actually downloaded it and hang them, too.
