Any fool can see all they're doing is calling it different words so they can work around micro loop holes in the law.

really you might want to look any one of the cacheing rulings that has come down the pike
the key difference is the act in and of itself an infringement
if the copy isn't a working copy when you take your actions into account your not distributing shit.

really your now trying to argue that they guy recorded knight rider is the copyright owner
that who your borrowing the copy from.

nope the fact that the fair use of timeshifting already authorized sharing (see borrowing a friends timeshifted copy above)
Quote:
Yes it has.
We aren't talking about hacks, which is a criminal activity normally doing criminal things.
|
except there is no minimum security standard that establish liability
that the point
if isohunt says in their disclaimer only download if you have a right to the content (fair use or authorized)
and you download without cede authorization, that a hack too
that as much of a hack as if i left the password blank on the guest account and put an unauthorized declaration on the welcome message

It would have to be fair use to be denied fair use.
And p2p, limewire and the mix of many others have already proven the technology CAN infringe , so yes their has been a case with previous established technologies.
|
reread those case they only proved that a technology can "IN and of itself" infringe
isohunt doesn't in and of itself infringe, you need at least a third party torrent client for any infringement to occur
in fact without the third party torrent client infringement is impossible
is it possible that courts will rule that it the same thing
possibly
have they done it yet
Hell NO
