CEO Shawn Hogan Takes on MPAA

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday July 25, 2006 @06:43AM from the how-long-till-it-stops dept.

IAmTheDave writes "Shawn Hogan, CEO of Digital Point Solutions, has found himself on the receiving end of an MPAA lawsuit claiming he downloaded a copy of 'Meet the Fockers' on Bittorrent. Mr. Hogan both denies the charges as well as claims he already owns the movie on DVD. After being asked to pay a $2500 extortion fee, Mr. Hogan lawyered up and has vowed to challenge and help change the MPAA's tactics. 'They're completely abusing the system,' Hogan says. Although expecting to pay well over $100,000 to defend himself, he claims 'I would spend well into the millions on this.'"

Isn't this what you gun-nuts would call a second amendment situation? So, why don't you raise up with all your arms and overthrow this unjust justice system? Was the amendment not written with such a situation in mind? Or are you just "fire-and-brimstone" speech and no action?
