MPAA Caught Uploading Fake Torrents
An anonymous reader writes "The MPAA and other anti-piracy watchdogs have been caught trapping people into downloading fake torrents, so they can collect IP addresses, and send copyright infringement letters to ISPs. The battle between P2P networks and copyright holders seems to be a never ending battle. It will be interesting to see how much the anti-piracy groups practices change once they begin begin selling movies and TV shows legally on bittorrent.com."
Which means they won't be held to the same standards as a cop when aomeone claims entrapment.
2. If you put your own car out by the road with a "free car" sign on it, you can't accuse someone who takes it of GTA.
The sign doesn't say "Free Car." The sign says "Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows." It appears on the Net before the film's theatrical release.
3. If the cops actually plant a "fake car" like you describe, the perpetrator is not guilty of Grand Theft Auto, as no car has been taken.
You made the attempt. You believed the screener was real. Your every move is being tracked. But you were dumb enough and greedy enough to come back to BT for more.
Then you are an adult in need of supervision.
Yeaaahhhh. Because no one ever roleplays online. No one EVER pretends to be something they are not.
Somewhat behind the times, aren't we
Sheesh. That was just ONE example of a piece of evidence I might have that would lead me to beleive that the person is of age.
