| 1255100 | 2012-01-20 06:39:00 | This type of thread never ceases to amaze, always a fight :p BUT the "agencies and film people" Now have got more on their plates than megaupload and other file sharing sites to worry about. From a newsletter I just received -- Some websites currently under DDoS include the FBI; The Warner Music Group; The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA); the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and Universal Music. They should be more worried about The radical group known as "Anonymous " scmagazine.com (www.scmagazine.com.au) Article. Read the article -- not only are Anonymous attacking, they have listed a "hit list" - names and addresses, link in the article. |

While this is true, I was speaking for a more ethical perspective. If you want to try something for the sake of trying it, you aren't going to bother downloading, you would just take a peak on YouTube. There are plenty of record labels links "Buy this song on Itunes/whatever". Just seems a lot less unscrupulous. Because, in all honesty, how many people would delete something they have downloaded? It doesn't seem realistic that people would do this, I would say 99% who say they do are liars. |

| 1255102 | 2012-01-20 06:44:00 | They didn't keep monitor every signle file that was uploaded to their servers. And what about probably every single online backup provider?? I'm sure there are lots of people that are backing up their illegally downloaded music/videos onto the online backup providers servers. Should they get taken down as well? This is the strange part. Copyright owners would contact MU/RS/whoever and they would take those files offline immediately... So I would say, they were rather compliant... |

I'm all for pirating content. Was just being a smart arse. And I don't think there would be anyone on the forum that could honestly say their haven't. |

This is cyber-terrorism, isn't it? They just painted a massive bull's eye on themselves and many others. Imprisonment without trial and the FBI will be coming after them. |

| 1255105 | 2012-01-20 06:56:00 | My side was just that if someone at school borrowed a CD off a classmate, I don't think many of them would later go out and buy the product. Could be wrong though. Pretty much. I don't care for piracy either way. I am just sick of all this hypocrisy and high nosed behaviour, "I never steal, I just try it before I buy it" BS annoys me. |

Imprisonment without trial and the FBI will be coming after them. One could argue that the former has arisen, at least in part, due to the preexistence of the latter. One of the positives of this media attention is that it brings into stark relief in the public domain the liberties that are being taken with our sovereignty, and if we are not very careful, our freedom. Whether enough people give a **** is a different matter altogether... I don't recall dawn raids with helecopters, refused bail, or mass property seizures for those Bridgecorp pricks, and they ACTUALLY STOLE the life savings of REAL people. |
