Music Industry Sues Irish Government For Piracy
bs0d3 writes "The music industry has initiated a lawsuit against the Irish government for not having blocking laws on the books; on the theory that if blocking laws were in place then filesharing would go away. On Tuesday the music industry issued a plenary summons against the Irish government which is the first step towards making this litigation possible. This all began in October 2010 (EMI v. UPC), when an Irish judge ruled that Irish law did not permit an order to be made against an ISP requiring blocking of websites. Recently several ISPs across the European Union have been ordered by courts to block thepiratebay.org through legal maneuvers."
Interestingly enough I was going to ask more or less the same thing: 'Recording Industry: Do you really wanna piss off the guys who successfully pulled off a guerilla war in the British's backyard in an attempt to regain their freedom? This sounds like exactly the sort of thing they were there for :)
Successfully ? You have a strange definition of successful. Their aim was a united Ireland, they do not have this . Only a pig shit ignorant American would use the word successfully in the context you have.
I buggered an irish girl once. Said she had a fire crotch, she did. Aye, that she did. Course, I was supposin she only meant her quim hair was red.
Twasn't but a day later and me own crotch was on fire too!
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Don't forget the Irish Governement are cheating scum, stealing taxes from other countries by basically charging half taxes on licensing revenues ie income generating from selling coypright content is only taxed at at half the rate income earned from other sources is.
This allows tax cheats to shift the pretend location of ownership of copyright content to Ireland from other countries to they can cheat on their taxes.
So basically dog squabling amongst themselves and screw the Irish Government.
Chaos - everything, everywhere, everywhen
