| 400912 | 2005-10-31 05:46:00 | I've heard the police are raiding movie pirates all over the country tonight & some of them will be shown live on campbell live. Do you think you are on the list? The campbell live teaser for tonight is: HUNTING DOWN THE DVD PIRATES Hollywood is about to make its first DVD piracy bust in New Zealand….About one in ten DVDs in this country are illegally downloaded but does piracy just mean a cheap seat at the movies or is it a serious breach of copyright? I think that their answer to that question will be a bit biased if they are showing the raids live. |

| 400914 | 2005-10-31 06:01:00 | How can it be a live raid if advance noticed has been plastered all over the airways? :rolleyes: Unless of course this is all part of the grand plan to spook the backyard DVD rippers into destroying all stock and evidential machinery in case there is a knock on their door tonight ... :p |

| 400917 | 2005-10-31 06:48:00 | That sucked. there weren't any live raids. I might do some research into the program he uses. What was it called? I'll bet simply compressing the file will defeat his program. |

| 400918 | 2005-10-31 07:06:00 | Program he used was Pirate Hunter... bet it only covers P2P and not the newsgroups which remain basically unmentioned! Metla - what question was he cornered with? I didn't quite get that part. Lo. |

Or both? Oh - I don't see how so many 'DVDs' can be downloaded. 1 DVD = 4.7GB. On most broadband connections in NZ, that means busting your data cap pretty quickly or spending about a week downloading it. |

| 400921 | 2005-10-31 08:03:00 | They are after the distributors of the pirated movies. Local markets and online selling etc of the DVD's. One guy who got nabbed said that his supplier could burn 20 DVD's simultaneously. | Jen (38) | ||
