The Florida-based file-hosting service Hotfile has sued Warner Bros. for fraud and abuse. Hotfile accuses the movie studio of systematically abusing its anti-piracy tool by taking down hundreds of titles they don’t hold the copyrights to, including open source software.

1236167 2011-10-07 07:24:00 GO hotfile :banana

About time someone played these power hungry buggers at their own game.

Sure if Warner Bros held the copyright - fair enough, but they dont on everything thats on sites like that.


To get to the bottom of the issues Hotfile demands a jury trial I think we know Warner would lose with that one :D

1236171 2011-10-07 18:59:00 Perhaps they should fine WB $25,000 for every file they wrongly took down, as they seem to like claiming $25,000 for every file that others put up. Paul.Cov (425)
1236172 2011-10-07 19:45:00 lol we all pirate its a way of I.T. There is a huge difference between going to a shop and stealing versus pirating and downloading software and using them. hover (16562)
1236173 2011-10-07 21:28:00 Lol, we all pirate, its a way of I.T. There is NO difference between going to a shop and stealing, versus pirating and downloading software and using them.

If I steal your car, you no longer have a car.
If I copy your car, you haven't lost anything.
Copyright infringement is NOT theft, as is so often claimed.
Not saying it's not wrong...
