I just like how the same people that bitch about it do it themselves, and I find it terribly hilarious that this industry is cheering on the war against tubes/torrents/whatevers while at the same time bitching up a storm about 2257 and CAL-OSHA "protecting" the talent. Its but another example of how everyone loves to get the government involved (because doing so ALWAYS makes it better, right?) except when it involves their own shit.
Well according to FACT linking to copyright films or other copyright material is copyright infringemant whether you know the item that you are linking to is copyright or not. I can walk into a libary and get to read or photo copy a newspaper page for free(apart from paying for the use of the photocopy machine), so I dont think that taking articles from a published newspaper is copyright infringement. What is copyright infringemnt is when people are camcording complete new films and posting them on the net. That is why they closed tv links down, and i think a lot of people on here who produce their own content are pretty pissed off with seeing all thier hard work being given out for free. That is why there is so many people on here who are bitching.
