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."
Given the usual lack of legal understanding in the geek community, I really don't give much credence to what PirateBay has to say.
umm first off, these are not people selling copied goods to others. If I download a movie instead of not watching it in a cinema/renting it it doesn't cost anyone a penny (except me for bw).
Also, mpaa and it's friends might wanna do something about their greed and their sales might increase. I keep hearing how the big movies break new records in profit, they often turn profitable after just a month or so. If movies and music was a well regulated business prices would go waaay down (i have still to hear about another legal business where you can regain all investments in that short time span).
This isn't about poor Tom writing liblickass.so and Red Beard the Pirate stealing it from him so he has to move his family to a trailer park in Texas. This is about a fucked up market with none to compete with the big players.
To keep on ranting, there's also no proof so far that Joe Sixpack downloading material affect sales in a negative way.
