New Copyright Lawsuits Go After Porn On Bittorrent
neoflexycurrent writes "Three adult media entertainment producers filed suit Thursday in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging copyright infringement against hundreds of anonymous defendants accused of trading videos using Bittorrent. This kind of action resembles the much-criticized mass litigation undertaken by the US Copyright Group against hordes of unknown accused Bittorrent users trading movies like The Hurt Locker. In this case, the subject matter promises to be more provocative."
If you're guilty I don't think it is slander and/or defamation. However, if you know you didn't download what they are accusing you of and you believe you can somehow prove it or convince a jury that there is no way they can prove you did. Then, yes, I believe you could have a case. Otherwise, what an awful political tool that could be. *Rewind* someone pays media company to sue Obama or those on his election team for illegally sharing "Muslims porking Teens" and whammo. True or not, enjoy Palin as VP as media outlets barf it into their cameras.
Which media you been watching?
Good lord, we know more specifics about pissant-Congressional-candidate-from-Kentucky Rand Paul's college days than we do about Obama's college history.
Remember the big stink about what W's college grades were? Well, what were Obama's grades?
Fact is, most media outlets seem like they ignore just about anything regarding Obama other than his halo. Go take a look at unemployment figures. Since the end of World War II, something like 80% of all the time the US has had an unemployment rate over 9% has happened while Obama's been President. Yeah, that's W's fault, right? Man up, you fucking pussy.
