Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000
ematic writes "A hapless tech-novice finds himself in a US$100,000 lawsuit with Paramount Pictures for allegedly uploading the movie, Coach Carter, to eDonkey. Paramount had the police seize his four computers, but nothing was found. The tech-novice maintains his innocence, and contends that he is a victim of a drive-by upload. According to the ChannelCincinnati story, the victim 'is either a slick film pirate or an unwitting victim of someone who fits that description.'"
... what, like Johnny Dep?
A tech novice with 4 computers?
Er... someone just broke in and left them here. What are those things anyway? I thought they were modern art.
One computer and three coffee holders...
I hadn't heard of this movie until this story. Further proof that piracy helps the movie industry.
> "What's the right term for someone who uses computers, but knows basically nothing about them?"
Don't know about you, but round here we call them 'managers'...
