Interesting you choose this as your very first post :loser:

That lawyer has aleady won, you've no idea how much money his firm have made from this already.

He won? I hadnt heard anything else outside of he got owned in court. Actually, last I heard the judge had thrown out all but 3 "john doe" defendants and dismissed the rest. THEN dismissed those 3. So either way.....

I think this was just one group of disclosures. They've been doing them since Sept for 100's of websites.

Methinks the lady exploiter doth protest too much. :geek:

Well the lawyer won't win anytime soon, if at all. Jack Thompson failed at his video game endeavors and got slammed for it. This guy may be the next one.

I'd like to know how they expect to do this:
"We have the technical ability to track stolen downloaded content and we will have no choice but to instruct our lawyers to take that action, in an effort to recoup lost revenue."

What did they put a serial number on the files? Do they expect people won't sanitize the headings, etc? What if i (legally) DL something and get tired of it, and the give it to a friend. He didn't pay to DL it (and he didn't DL it either!), but you're going to go after him? Not sure this one passes the smell test...

Tracking users by their IP address is also humorous, I'm in a hotel much of the time, with different machines. Even a home IP will only get you to a block most of the time and never to a specific machine. Good luck with that.

That said, I can't stand the mass pirate sites any more than seanchai / steven, and i don't use them, don't like them, don't want to be a part it / them, and i'm too busy fixing my computer every time the HDD goes out to lunch. :(

When you see a free scene on the internet there is an address you can go to whenever you want to view it and get off.

I used to have a cock, don't need but one minute of something looped to get off.

You guys are never satisfied, do you read what you say? What is said in the web boards? You complain about small things like pubic hair and if a girl's boob is slightly misshaped.

We give you an arm and you want a leg, we give you the leg and you want a foot. Do you not see this at all, anyone else see this beside me?

In any case, there is a handful of you that are arguing this. But the rest of you could care less, you just pay for your stuff, jack off to it and go on about your day, so it isn't to my surprise that you are complaining about someone protecting his rights.

1: I used, (but don't much anymore) tape songs off the radio. I had (still have) quite the collection. But i don't sell them. I also recorded parties that my friends and i hosted. Again I don't sell them.

2: I like feet, especially yours Danielle, quite yummy! And i buy DVDs of what i like (including many with you dear!)

This whole thread is really out of hand. Grooby will attempt to rein in pirates, and they are going to piss of people - mostly those who who are too lazy / cheap / broke to pay atention - let alone pay for any content.

Only later to shuv it in his own asshole with some Crisco.

Now let's say your dad goes to his mom's house and takes out the fisting hand out of his ass and puts it on the dinner table in front of the whole family...

Would your grandma consider it stolen?

Now THAT was funny! :Bowdown:
