MPAA Targets TV Download Sites
KenDaMan writes "ZDNet.com is reporting that the MPAA is targeting websites that serve as traffic directors for BitTorrent swaps. From the article: 'Continuing its war on Internet file-swapping sites, the Motion Picture Association of America said Thursday that it has filed lawsuits against a half-dozen hubs for TV show trading.' Apparently it is OK to record TV as long as your aren't sharing it."
Apparently it is OK to record TV as long as your aren't sharing it. Think you could loosen your grip on the obvious just a little? It's starting to turn a little blue in the face...

To see Piratebay.org's response to their letter!!
Next thing we'll hear the MPAA going after porn torrents... I mean assuming they're out there.
I hope they don't find out I'm a fan of the Gilmore Girls
I'm an American citizen and what you say is true. Our founding fathers like John Wayne and Gary Cooper who tought civilization to the savage red indians and who made this country great would turn in their graves if they knew people were sharing TV content.
And just before the series finale of "Lost" too ;)
We're not even halfway through the first season screening down under, and I have a crack-like addiction to the series. It's shameful, I know, but some primal part of me really digs the idea of being stuck on an island with Maggie Grace
Of course, but only after downloading it and analyzing it frame-by-frame to see if it truely is copyrighted material.

I think it's actually quite funny. The parent comes in and "corrects" some grammar to something that is obviously incorrect. Then a bunch of grammar Nazis jerk their knees and come in and correct him. THEY HAVE BEEN TROOLED. THEY HAVE LOOSED. THEY SHOULD EATHER HAVE A NEICE DAY OR FUCK OF AND DYE.
I share. That cool guy over there shares. That hot chick, she shares too! Doctors share. Artists share. Judges share. Priests, milkmaids, garbagemen, executives, teachers, uncles, mailmen -- they all share. Old and young, smart and dumb (dumb, but nice!), people with good taste and people with conventional likes and dislikes; Chinese and Amsterdamish, Black, Brown, Yelllow and Red, Whites too; young girls (giggling), pippled-faced boys, pregnant women, bearded professors -- they ALL share!
:)
Isn't it about time you shared too?
Have a nice day -- AND SHARE!!!
Maybe it should be "you'ren't"?
Actually, I thought "you're all dumbasses" was the most insightful bit.
They covered the porn industry in your high school economics class?
Wow.
'SBEMAIL!' is better than a goat!!

well shit I was wondering why so many people chose economics! I should have checked up on it a bit more.
Why didn't I think of that?
// insert porn here!
Instead of spending $500 on hookers, I can set up some cameras and pay a porn star $500 and cast myself as the leading man! Then I even have it on VIDEO afterwards!
Porn profit margins, you ain't kidding. You've solved the puzzle:
1) (some crap)
2) ???
3) profit!
Never thought I'd actually find genius on Slashdot...
Grandparent was litterally asking for it.
Jesus. I was giving an example of an argument that doesn't make sense. I wasn't suggesting that there was any relevance between the two conversations. Seriously, sometimes posting on slashdot is like talking to a 15 year old (or a PE teacher).
How we know is more important than what we know.
You can cup my balls. Any good with the shaft?
actually you need 9 friends first...
I think that was probably his exact thought process - "I have to pay for it, so why not tape it and recoup my costs?"
There's PORN on the INTERNET?
It's only stealing if you're not paying for it.

It's been a long time.
Instead of spending $500 on hookers,

Authority questions you. Return the favor.

Yea... but who would spend money for a 30 second movie?
