Rapidshare Divulges Uploader Information

Posted by kdawson on from the thanks-for-sharing dept.

Gorgonzolanoid notes a post on TorrentFreak reporting that the German Rapidshare is divulging uploader information to rights holders. Record labels are apparently making creative use of "paragraph 101" of German copyright law, which gives them a streamlined process to ask a court to order disclosure of information such as an IP address. "In Germany, the file-hosting service Rapidshare has handed over the personal details of alleged copyright infringers to several major record labels. The information is used to pursue legal action against the Rapidshare users and at least one alleged uploader saw his house raided."

      Prison isn't bad for niggers. Why do you think they call it "nigger college"?

      It's a lot like when the Romans used to throw people in the pit with starving beasts. Only those beasts are gorillas. Gorillas with HUGE dicks.

    Jury Nullification

    Jury nullification is best used for its traditional purposes, such as letting white people off for killing blacks that looked at white women wrong, or tried to drink out of the white drinking fountain, or tried to register blacks to vote, and things like that. It shouldn't be used for trivialities like letting people rip off artists.
