MPAA Cracking Down on TV Torrent Sites
sallgeud writes "It appears the other shoe has dropped and the MPAA is now going after sites which link to torrents of TV shows. The beef with redistributing copyrighted material seems to make sense... but I'm wondering if it makes a difference in the world of DVR. The vast majority of downloads appeared to be of content that is broadcast free over the airwaves. I'm wondering how much different this is than going after Tivo? Would these sites have been hit with lawsuits if they had stuck to purely over-the-air broadcasts?"
Slashdotters should control themselves and boycott duplicate posts. Would it even be possible to have a story without any comments?
Stop legitimizing this dupe by posting sensible stuff like that. Just keep on complaining about the dupe and the editors might actually start reading their own site.
So we have a dope 24 hours apart? Is Taco training his replacement?
I like muppets.
Seriously how can slasdot editors not read their own site ?.
Slashdot needs to eat its own dog food.
Lol, mod up please.. parent is so appropriate in this circumstance :) BTW, the cat is the superior animal, no argument needed :D

A new non-downloadable series, based on the life and times of this icon of the gay community is currently under development.
fucking zero tolerance dweeb...
in texas, just like everywhere else, there is the law, the interpretation of the law, and the enforcement of the law
the speed limit remains, not for your safety and not to serve some 'ideal' of the law, but because it puts the law enforcement people in control and keeps them there. It allows them to circumvent other 'laws' that protect your right in the name of safety.
Cops don't enforce the speed limit on the open empty road. They use the speed limit because it gives them discretion and control over who they can stop and search. The maority is allowed to speed merrily along while the kid from Florida, or the van load of Mexicans can be 'legally' pulled over and searched in the name of enforsing the speed limit.
Jeez dude, wake up!
Omg, The horror. The pain and suffering you must be feeling because you saw a duplicate story on this site that is free. They must be hung, they must be stopped. Go shout RTFM around the mall, make some new friends.
