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."
Maybe they'll stop the legal action when people like you stop breaking the law. You can't distribute copyrighted material, numbnuts.
OK. I inserted your mom the other day.

If Slashdot is full of dumbasses, then what the fuck are you doing here reading it, dumbass?
A VCR lets you keep the tapes, you can't take any content off a TiVo. Once you run out of room, you have to delete the show. And you can't record and skip commercials. With a VCR you can pause during commercials.
It is too bad the SVHS did not catch on. Near DVD like quality, surround sound, better than what VHS is. Plus, if you want to loan a tape to a friend, you can.
I'll give one more example of why TiVo sucks. I was going to work late one friday night, and called a friend of mine to record a show. He said he only had a TiVo, but would record it. He was leaving saturday morning to go home for the weekend. If he had a tape, I could have stopped to pick it up. But TiVo requires I be in his house to see it.
TiVo is taking away your choices, your rights. As content goes from analog to digital, there will be more content encrypted. TiVo will side with the producers, to get the ability to save this content. Before, with VHS, everything was standard, the producers could not get away with it.

You're a fucking moron. I am going to punch your teeth in this weekend, fancy pants.
DID YOUR MOM SERVE YOU AN EXTRA HELPING OF DUMB TONIGHT?
Normally I don't make frivolous requests like this to the moderators, but seriosly.
MOD THE PARENT UP
Don't piss and moan (and mod down) because some fucking loud mouth got a little fucking passionate and said the fucking F-word a few fucking times!
I mean fuck! Did you read his post, or just mod down because he said fuck? Sometimes even arrogant insults can contain painfully valid points!

You sound like such a pissy fucking child! How old are you? 15? As if you know shit about shit!
Guess what? Business exists to make money for stockholders. Better comes to terms with that or you're going to go nowhere in life.
I gotta hand it to you, nothing makes a compelling argument like name-calling; "bitch" and "twat" really send that message home!
I won't try to rationalize why this shrill little tirade got modded up to +5, as I fear my head would explode. Please grow up or shut up.
