Hi. I'm new here, I have some info I'd like to pass on to you all.
If you or anyone you know has been threatened/busted for copyright violations regarding video media, you may be interested in what I have to say.
I worked for a school district that for 7 years INTENTIONALLY stole copyrighted movies, etc. to advertise 2 local businesses on our "educational" cable channel (200K households). What the motivation for this was is unknown to me...
I became aware of it at the same time that I observed abuse of the students by the perpetrators of these crimes, including one of them recruiting students for devil worship meetings.
I reported this to the school officials. This began an "Alice thru the Looking Glass" experience for me, eventually resulting in me being fired. This has caused extreme detriment to my family.
I also reported it to: CA Board of Education, Arnie and his wife, the FBI, U.S. Justice Dept., MPAA, RIAA and each of the copyright owners individually. Many others too. I have boxes of evidence, there is no doubt. Dates, times of offenses (required for prosecution of these crimes), videotapes, numerous witnesses, certified mail receipts of notification, etc. Agent Sanchez of the Victorville FBI office told me: "because of the negative publicity, these copyright owners are usually hesitant to prosecute when a school is involved." That seems to be the case, so basically I get screwed and the crooks are still laughing and working. I wasn't as concerned about the thievery as much as the abuse. But since that was harder to prove (but I did at my hearing, it was ignored), I went for what I had hard evidence on. Unlike the typical d/l'er, these folks were violating the law to make huge sums of money.
My reason for telling you all this is not to solicit sympathy. It is because it is quite clear the law is not being applied equally. I'm not a legal expert, but I believe that your attorney can use this information to get charges dropped.
Please feel free to spread this wherever you think it may do some good. I want to sing, sing, sing. The MPAA and copyright owners are no friends of mine, so maybe I can do some good going in the out door.
I have _lengthy documents on the web describing the affair in great detail:
http://webpages.charter.net/drfibes/crimesatvvuhsd.htm
http://webpages.charter.net/drfibes/improprieties/ response_to_dr_marks.htm
The last link is a letter to the superintendent expressing shock at her threat to fire me for whistleblowing. She resigned 12 days after I sent it.
Send 'em to me. Maybe we can blow this whole thing sky high.
