Polish Fans Held By Police For Movie Translations
michuk writes "Nine people involved in a community portal Napisy.org were held for questioning by the Polish police forces this Wednesday. They will be probably be accused of publishing illegal translations of foreign movies (which is forbidden by Polish copyright law). Napisy.org website was shut down immediately afterwards by the German forces (since the servers were located in Germany). The service was the most popular Polish on-line portal where users were free to submit translated subtitles for popular movies. 'According to Polish copyright law any "processing" of others' content including translating is prohibited without permission. The people held (aged 20 - 30) were questioned on Wednesday and Thursday and then allowed to leave. In case of being accused of illegal publishing of copyrighted material, they can spend in jail up to 2 years (in the worst case).'"
...FUCK THE GOD DAMN POLISH POLICE.
THEY ARE RETARDED FUCKIN GOD DAMN MORONS, I HATE THEM, AND SO DOES ~75% OF OUR SOCIETY.
I had to pay a bill for crossing an empty street when the lights were red (250 zloty, about $100), but they didn't cared about the guy who stole my cell phone.
The police used to control our homes and seek for illegal installations of MS crap, mp3s, etc while they all have pirated windows running on their home computers.
And now they arrested nine people for providing subtitles, while two streets away five bandits are "politely asking" some guy to give them his cell phone, wallet, all the money he has, and possibly his clothes (yes, clothes, the things he is wearing at the moment on his body).
Same thing with our politicians. To some people, "politician" in our country means "thief", "asshole", "idiot", or something like that.
I WANT MY COUNTRY BURNED DOWN.
