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."

    We should encourage this: we can hope they'll fight each other to death, and we can disbar the survivors.

      And, for good measure, we can then rebar them.

    What the hell is [Illegal media]? And how do you download any sort of media?

    Well, according to dictionary.com, Media is the plural of medium, which is, as we all know, "a person through whom the spirits of the dead are alleged to be able to contact the living". Thus, "Illegal Media" are illegal shaman immigrants. I'm guessing "download" would be to make them carry lots of stuff? I guess making them work isn't that bad..? Unless they start channeling me-maw, then you're in for a world of tongue lashings.
