MPAA is Awarded $110 Million In TorrentSpy Case
An anonymous reader writes "The MPAA was awarded a staggering judgment in its case against the BitTorrent indexing site TorrentSpy. According to Slyck.com, a judge in California rendered a $110 million victory for the MPAA, and a permanent injunction against TorrentSpy."
well said brother! If those guys had set up shop in free Russia there would have been no problem. Even the Iranians have a more free climate for intellectual developement. Soon it will be illegal to own a programming manual in this poor excuse for a country. I spent ten years defending this country in its military service so feel that I have a right to criticize when it goes wrong. To put so many millions of American jobs into foreign countries, to give away the so called 'rights' to manufacture items invented in the USA or have some crook sell them to our enemies is a monstrous crime against the people of this nation. A future honest government may justly hold the politicians, panderers, political correctness preachers, crooked 'businessmen' and other parasites for capital crimes against the people....and hang them as they deserve....and drive out the invaders now pouring across our borders to eat out what is left of our substance...at bayonet point if necessary.
yes, because we recognise that MP3s, movies and software, along with other imaginary goods, are a crappy thing to base our economy on. So rather than keep trying to force people to pay for them anyway to prop up a ludicrous idea we're in favour of making it impossible to turn a profit on them, thus forcing the economy to be based on actual tangible goods.

To offer another perspective, Burma (Myanmar) offered the US $0 in aid after the New Orleans disaster.

Can we just start assassinating all of the lawyers that work for the RIAA and MPAA already? They're the cancer that's killing the American legal system, and at this point the only chemo that will work is hot lead.
Maybe if we kill enough of them, nobody will take the cases anymore and all of this faggotry will end.
