Anti-Piracy Lawyers Caught Pirating Each Other

Posted by samzenpus on from the dog-eat-dog dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We would like to think that the lawyers that are prosecuting alleged copyright infringers are practicing what they preach, but it looks like one of the most high profile firms involved in such cases are just as guilty of stealing others' work as those who are downloading illegal media."

  1. No "creative value" though by siddesu · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Since there is no creative value in the things they lift from each other, it is hard to argue they are "pirating" it. Can I steal a verb they use, and just call it "stealing"? :)

    Also, the general population surely should be held to higher standards than the scum of the earth.

    What the hell is that? And how do you download any sort of media?

    I hate you and I hate your lame attempts at increasing your pagerank. You are the scum of the earth.
     
    Also, your website looks terrible. When I opened it I assumed you linked to the wrong page and that was a domain filler. Really bad graphic design.
     
    Now, kindly go away.
