LokiTorrent vs. MPAA

Posted by samzenpus on from the good-luck dept.

ravenspear writes "It seems that the attack on torrent sites is continuing strong. This time Lokitorrent is being sued by the MPAA. Unlike Suprnova and most of the previous sites however, they aren't planning to just roll over and die. It will no doubt be a dificult fight, but they plan to stay up for the time being. Also, they are asking for donations to cover their legal expenses. So far they have raised $8,755 out of a needed $30,000. "

    1. Create a torrent+tracker site 2. Get a C&D from MPAA 3. Post request for legal aid to slashdot 4. Get far in excess of what you need to settle 5. Settle on the side for far less than you received 6. Profit!!!

    I'm missing your logic. You're arguing that pointing people to illegal things isn't illegal?

    In that case, there's nothing wrong with, e.g., a high-ranking Air Force guy blogging nuclear launch codes and the location of the missile silo, is there? He's only pointing people to nuclear war; he's not doing the unauthorized launch himself....

    Theoretically (sic), he could be getting the iPod only to sell and give the money to disaster relief...

    Even if he wasn't, I don't see the conflict.
