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?"
There's a guy currently flooding Slashdot with randomly generated crap messages with the intent of disrupting normal discussion. Click on one of the links below to see what I mean. If you have mod points left and aren't sure what to use them for, plase mod him down so we can get his network banned.

Your help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Well gee, what a shocker. A guy named 'adult film producer' is choosing pussy over a dog.
Get it? PUSSY! I'm so punny today.
Then leave.
Go away and dont come back. We dont care if you hate this free service or not. You're like that fat lady at the ice cream store who complains cause her 'free sunday sundae' is too small. Don't like it? Don't eat it. It really is that simple.
What you dont understand is that i dont care if its a dupe. Im smart enough to see that. Most people are. But sure enough someone has to point it out 3 bajillion times in the comments section. There should be a way to filter out the word 'dupe' and all the subsequent threads following so i dont have to listen to the whining.
