| 435495 | 2006-03-05 06:19:00 | Yes I know about the whole piracy world wide thing but it is treated different in all countries. In the US thousands got law suits but I bet in Zimbabwe no one has been sued as of yet. | kiwimate27 (9833) | ||
| 435496 | 2006-03-05 06:49:00 | They are looking at Niger for that sort of thing,so far not much luck. Only 12 computers. |

| 435499 | 2006-03-06 00:56:00 | Theft is illegal worldwide.Yeah.. but as much as music/movie companies would love you to believe that downloading copy written material is theft it's not.. it is copy write infringement. Not that that makes it legal. However a last I heard even encoding MP3s from CDs you own was technically illegal in NZ. As far as I know the only people who have been busted are people making money from copying stuff. -Qyiet |

| 435501 | 2006-03-06 02:37:00 | I think Torrent sites are a more likely target for various anti-piracy organisations, like the MPAA. | kingdragonfly (309) | ||
| 435502 | 2006-03-06 03:21:00 | Plus I heard from somewhere that they were being monitored. Can't remember the source....you'd be better off getting an invite to a private hub | andrew93 (249) | ||
| 435503 | 2006-03-06 10:26:00 | Any remember hearing about New Zealand's DC++ hub (i think it was SilverServer) got political attention?? But once again (like all DC++ hubs) they justified it by saying that it was a Chat Room and the files shared in that room were not the mod's fault. And on that note, are Xtra still controling P2P sharing (and does this include Torrents)?? |
