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.
Of course, but only after downloading it and analyzing it frame-by-frame to see if it truely is copyrighted material.

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!!!
They covered the porn industry in your high school economics class?
Wow.
'SBEMAIL!' is better than a goat!!
Look, I'll stop complaining about the delay in TV programming if you guys just promise to keep Dame Edna. We don't want "her" back.

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...
actually you need 9 friends first...
There's PORN on the INTERNET?

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