Music industry sites DDoSed after Pirate Bay verdict

To the eejit postin as a coward

"I will type slowly so there is a hope of it sinking in: P2P is ***MOSTLY*** used for copyright theft. Any legal use is verging on the statistically insignificant."

Maybe in your research you should read a little more slowly; because, you have it backwards. There's quite a few non-illegal uses for P2P and is used by quite a few companies. The media blows up the insignificant illegal use all out proportion. And quite possibly getting kick backs from the record and movie industry to do so. Journalism isn't what it used to be. Nothing from them surprises me anymore. However in fact you probably use P2P on a daily basis and don't even realize it. Allot of game companies use it to distribute game patches. News on demand uses bit-torrent. The previously mentioned open source distribution. I'm sure there's other I don't know about simply because it's so easy to implement it would be hard to see it in use.

"supplying the bullets for a gun you *know* will be used in a crime, is a crime in itself. This is what the PB 4 got done for. And they deserved to get done for it. 1% some soemthing is way better than 100% of sweet-f**k-all, which is what the artists get from the PB thieves and their ilk."

There you go. The "Know". I'm not sure how you can make your analogy work simply because it's impossible for them to know everything that they are indexing. Be like knowing every blade of grass in your lawn. There's simply too much data.

"I know BS when I see it. As do most people. Stop salving your conscience with this pathetic reasoning."

You evidently don't. Because I was stating a fact. Wtf possible gain do I have for BSing you or anyone else. I could care less if you are too diluted to see the truth. Just doing a google search on me would enlighten you on that. I take an extreme opinion on allot of things. But that's your problem and doesn't really effect me.

As to my original post. That was directed at the first two posts, as that was all there was when I originally wrote it. So if I offended anyone else I do apologize.

to the Cowards

Shame you two don't really know wtf you're talking about. However that's usually the case from people that support the record industry. TPB didn't do any of the stuff you think they did. They are an indexing service much like google, yahoo, and etc. If anyone is guilty it's the users posting the material. Oh course if you had any knowledge of what you were commenting on you would know that. It's obvious from this outcome that the music industry bought their victory. There was too many things against them and too much going for TPB. Am I shocked? Not really, the music industry buy their way through allot of things,and the people are wising up to it.

This was a pretty strong message they put out, and I'm sure it will effect their sales dramatically. I know I won't be buying anymore cd's or dvd's. I religiously buy 1 dvd and 1 cd a week and I probably have a entertainment collection seconded to none. Most of my purchase picks were based upon tracks/clips I downloaded of unknowns which in turn motivated me to make my purchase. That all stopped as of last Friday. Does that mean I'll be downloading copyrighted material via google, yahoo, or a torrent tracker. No that just means I'll be checking out independent stuff. Where the money doesn't go to the crooks.

Also there's is nothing illegal about P2P. I use it on a daily basis to sync my work projects with my home projects. So there again you have no idea what you are talking about. I agree that the attacks won't do any good. But it's probably better than what they could have really done. They could have been way more malicious and attacked some sort of critical infrastructure.

Facebook in Pirate Bay block Fail

controversial?

WTF is so controversial?! The Pirate Bay is nothing more than a search index, and nothing more. I keep hearing this word "controversial" about this topic. The only ones finding this controversial is the people that haven't had education of how the internet works, and the retards at the RIAA and the MPAA. This should have been thrown out of court inside the first week. What a waste of resources.
