This does not make it ILLEGAL or LEGAL. This is all simply about trying to take over the internet and monetize every single thing people do on it.

citizenperth User ID: 26121063 Australia 10/25/2012 01:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How can they do that? That's like the post office opening all your mail and reading it, then warning you if they think you might be doing something naughty. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26102938 Do the ISPs want to be "Common Carriers" or not? Nah its like this, the copyright trolls get the torrent and start downloading it themselves. Then they get a list of IP addresses on the torrent and send requests to the ISP saying these people have infringed on us. Then the ISP interrupts the customers service that they are paying for based on this petty irrelevant allegation. And gives them fake legal advice(which is illegal) that downloading copied movies for personal use is a crime(when it is not). And then spams them with ads on websites to buy things. You see what a giant fail this is? With torrents you are uploading to your peers, so you are a distributor of copyrighted material, so you kinda fail. the real argument with torrents is you only own a packet of data and nothing else.... mr a through z own other packets... at the end of the day though, you end up with a product that you didn't pay for... that is kinda stealing no? It's life as we know it, but only just. [link to citizenperth.wordpress.com] sic ut vos es vos should exsisto , denego alius vicis facio vos change , exsisto youself , proprie |

How fucking retarded do you have to be, to realize that if you take something from a store without paying for it. They lose "the thing" itself? And that copying a song and listening to it, because you don't WANT to buy it, is NOT stealing it? You haven't removed anything from the person who made the song, they still have the ability to sell it. Is it a crime that you chose not to buy their song? You are seriously one fucked up lunatic retard to believe such crap. Look, the same thing you get off the internet is the same thing people pay for in stores or online. Can you understand that? So, knowing you are getting what people pay for for free is stealing. You can buy stuff from the store and throw it away too. Order it off iTunes and delete it. This is what people do who can afford it. I see you hold to your philosophy like a toddler to his mom's leg. |

You realize that the companies that provide internet & telephony are monopolies right? You don't have a "choice" of whatever company you chose. You have a "choice" of what company is "in your area". Where I live it's either Verizon, Cablevision or Time Warner; that's it, and they all have the same policies. Also, if you are stupid enough to download stuff from public torrent sites, use stupid P2P programs and unsecured sources you deserve to be punished. Unless you are downloading from secure places like through SFTP FTP servers or SSL capable usenet servers or private torrent sites that support SSL encryption while downloading your torrent, then you are asking to be arrested. upgrad3 |

Redistributing digital goods does not degrade quality. There used to always be poorer quality and more effort in duplication. I never said anything about punishing anybody, in fact I said I don't care. I just want the economy to do well, and all of this will scare more people into buying what they can afford. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25811740 United Kingdom 10/25/2012 01:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ok, so if i file a suit against youtube for distributing copyrighted material then i should under this logic win my case. They cannot win this, it is impossible. Everyone needs to open their own wifi, then they cannot prove it was downloaded by you, just someone using your network while using their network.. then who is responsible ? If the company does not send someone out to secure your network and i mean full proof from any hackers anywhere then ultimately we cannot be held responsible. This would put every anti virus software out of business also. If i am responsible for securing my wifi then they are responsible for securing the internet, while i am at it i should sue them for allowing child pornography sites which they willingly distribute all over the world through their service. |

Lets take a music artist for example. its free advertisement, free distribution on a much bigger scale then any large record company could do physically. That is of course if the music is good. Stealing? nahh, . I know even in my own case that i've gone out and purchased something only after hearing it first on the web. If your music sucked , well that just keeps me from buying your crappy album. |
