Court Action Does Not Reduce File-Sharing

Posted by Zonk on from the shocking dept.

gollum123 wrote to mention a BBC report that despite numerous court cases, litigation does not appear to be reducing the amount of file-sharing. From the article: "The level of file-sharing has remained the same for two years despite 20,000 legal cases in 17 countries. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industries (IFPI) said it was 'containing" the problem and more people were connecting to broadband."

    Stop accepting stories by Luke PiWalker. This is an account owned by PlayfullyClever, a troll so hideous and shameful that even the GNAA wishes not to associate with him.

    Nut uh, the Earth is flat. I can prove it. In America, things fall towards the ground. In Austrillia things still fall towards the ground. In China, things still fall towards the ground. How do you explain this if the Earth is round? Huh?
