Uwe Boll, Other Filmmakers Sue Thousands of Movie Pirates

linzeal writes "Directors whose films have done poorly at the box office are increasingly being solicited by high-powered law firms to file lawsuits with offers of settlement. This practice, which the EFF has been calling extortive and 'mafia-like', has resulted in courts starting to rule in favor of the consumer, and in some cases throwing out the lawsuits. This is all fine and dandy, however, when you are considered the world's worst director and you largely finance films through your own holding company. At that point, the rhetoric and ridicule gets ratcheted up rather quickly."

I hope you go to jail.

This bullshit argument that copyright infringement isn't theft is just a matter of semantics and you know it. Now I hope that they prove it to you in a very real way with fines that will put a real boot to your ass. I'm sick of you little illogical bitches trying to use this unrealistic argument as a way to cover yourself for being little thieves.

Don't drop the soap...

On second thought, I don't give a fuck if you drop the soap. I hope you get ass raped for your little illogical lie.
