Germany's RIAA Sues Rapidshare - YouTube Next?
Hermel writes "The GEMA (Germany's RIAA) obtained a temporary injunction against 'one-click-hoster' Rapidshare.com. If their lawsuit is successful, the GEMA intends to use it as a beachhead against their next targets, including Youtube and MySpace. From the article: 'According to GEMA, the service ... has at times boasted of making some 15 million files available to its users. The operator had however failed to obtain from GEMA a license for making copyright protected files available ... Through its injunctions the District Court in Cologne had now made it clear to the company that the fact that it was the users and not the operator of the services that uploaded the content onto the sites did not, from a legal point of view, lessen the operator's liability for copyright infringements that occurred within the context of the services, the spokesman added.'"
Do you think they'd have paid for the games otherwise, though? That's the rub, where it's hard to tell. I have friends who are "collectors", who have gigabytes upon gigabytes of movies, music and software that they never use. They just have it. There's NO way they'd ever have paid for it, and they aren't using it... so who's harmed?
My blog. Good stuff (when I remember to update it). Read it.
It's very obvious - the JEWS in the RIAA want to shut down any PUBLIC broadcast website like Jewtube, because the truth about the Holycause it already out there all over the internet, the truth about the Jew's hold on Congress, their ownership of most of America's media, and their plan (which is succeeding) to flood all white nations on earth with hoardes of vile non-whites who are destroying our countries. They can't allow democracy - they can't allow individual dissent to their evil plans.
And all because Hitler stood up to them. They know all white countries will eventually throw them out, so they have converted ALL white countries into 'multicultural' shitholes, where anybody who dares disagree with the destruction of their OWN country is pilloried in public and called a 'racist'. The jews know that a society made up of disparate groups of people who all hate each other will NEVER recognise the Jew's power over them, and will NEVER kick the jews out.
