They should be glad to have you as a loyal customer. I think anyone would. I see your point. Why should you pay for something which others are getting for free?There is a simple solution. As a longtime Autodesk customer who has shelled out many thousands of dollars starting with R10 up to the current Inventor I am disappointed that their products are all available for free on these sites.
I will drop them a letter and let them know that.
My answer to that is that you are probably profiting greatly from it. I'm not positive what your business is and how big of a role CAD software plays, but you are probably paying a fair price for the profits which you are generating from the help of their software. If you weren't, I doubt you'd keep using it.
I just don't see a reason to be upset about people not paying for something they don't use. Would you be upset if you just bought a Gallardo and then the next day, Gallardos were given to all the blind people in the US (assuming they didn't resell them or let their friends drive em ;) )? It's a totally ridiculous example, but it illustrates the point.Comment

Eman, with due respect, 90% of the companies providing the actual connectivity are either based in the US or are owned by US companies. As such, to a greater or less extent, they can be touched by a DMCA because they have responsibilities as good corporate citizens in the US.First off, DMCA is a US law. Sending a DMCA notice to Sweden or Russia embassies or ISPs won't do anything. For DMCA to be effective against foreign hosted content, you'd have to DMCA their USA peers as the stolen content travels through their US network.
As mentioned in my post above, based on the way the torrent protocol works, the owner of the content would have to send a DMCA notice to the seeders (people with the files on their computer) and their ISPs (ie. Joe Blow in Alabama and Comcast).
In regards to the tracker servers. Trackers are usually hosted offshore and they do not share any content, but only a list of IPs where the source content can be found on the seeder's and peers' computers.
Example, is piratebay.org - "hosted" by p80.net, which is (shock) registered at Directnic. That would be a good place to send a DMCA.
P80.net is getting their connectivity (the route I get) from sprintlink. Spring comes up with an address in Kansas.
There are all sorts of fun places to deal with on this issue. If P80 / port80 / rix internet is not going to remove connectivity from pirate bay (and like pirate bay will try to hide behind lax swedish laws) then you get the US based companies that provide their connectivity to take the action that US law obliges them to take.
I understand completely how torrent sites work - but you miss the point. Without sites like piratebay, there would be no way for 99.9% of end users to find a single torrent to download. Hiding the actual links on disposible tracker domains (they often last only 48 hours) to artificially create a firewall of responsibility is something for the courts to argue about, in my opinion it clearly shows guilt of conscious.
Torrent "guides" work hand in hand with the trackers to provide the method and ability for people to distribute all forms of material, legal and illegal. Piratebay is hiding in Sweden because they know pretty much anywhere else they would get escorted to a cell with Bubba for recreation for the next few years. Again, shows a consciousness of guilt. If they thought they were right, they wouldn't be hiding under the ice in Sweden.Comment

I understand your point about hitting the US peering of torrent websites, however if it was as simple as sending a DMCA to Sprintlink, why is Piratebay still up while MPAA MSFT and the rest are after them? Are they just changing hosts? Hosts outside of the US usually have multiple peers inside the US or, sometimes the don't even peer directly with US companies. For example a Sweedish ISP might peer with Telia in EU which peers with Sprint in US which in turn peers with Comcast in US. You'd have to send DMCA notices to every company in the link.
Piratebay is indeed in Sweeden, registered though a German registrar, hosted by p80 in Sweeden which has the following peers:

Actually, if you look at your spam a little closer, you will see that spam groups and spam laws have had a huge effect on the spam you get every day.Yep I aggree we had the same with all the spam email, it hasent stop a thing, we all still get spam mail and thats illegal, the fact is the internet is just one big money making machine and people dont really care how they make it or who they rip off and i dont think that will ever change
A large percentage of the spam you get now is as a result of spyware installs on end user PCs and fairly complicated server hacks. Commercial spammers are a dying breed, severely limited in their work because they have a harder and harder time getting landing pages that work and sponsors that are willing to take the heat. Even companies that have accepted huge levels of spam before have dropped out of the game because the return is no longer worth the hassle.
Check your spam, large amounts of it now are either pump and dump stocks or semi-lame attempts to get your to install their spyware so they can send more pump and dump stocks and share infections. I just checked 10 pages of stuff on spamarrest, and pretty much all of it was pdf spam (attempt infections).Comment

This is not what I said, but regardless unless you see the outcome of a trial you can't be sure for anything and so far we're lacking of action. If an organization, person or a company within EU doesnt find justice they can proceed (although it will take time) to the supreme court of EU and any decision taken there is above any EU country's law and will be immediately enforced.Comment

Eman, I think to some extent that RIAA and MPAA have tried to avoid playing whack-a-mole with the torrent sites. They have had major successes inside the US, to the point where there appears to be no torrent or torrent guide sites operating in the US, and they certainly don't last long if they pop up.
The torrent sites are down to hiding out in remote places hoping to get enough steps between themselves and responsible companies. I would be truly interested to hear what a company like Sprint would have to say face to this issue.Comment

I love the idea of a central board where we post copyright issues. Publicly outing company's is really the only true way of getting things done. But take is a step further and get a good law firm behind it also, so once the contents owners finds out about the infringement, they can simply do something about it.Great post!
It is heartening to see this issue finally get the attention that it deserves.
The group being organized by A1R3K and the rest, has the potential to start turning the tide.
The larger the collective effort the better. This means not just looking out for our own content, but that of others as well, notifying them so that they will hopefully file a DMCA as well.
If GFY does not want to host a specific forum for this, then I recommend a new anti-piracy board be created. It would be good to have separate sections for debating issues, reporting abuse, tips/forms, and tracking addresses for the copyright abusers and their upstream hosts (and making note of those whom fraudulently list such info or do not cooperate).
A pretty good database can be compiled that might be useful in a class action lawsuit of particularly abusive and non-cooperative sites. A scorecard could be kept as well, which would aid in lobbying efforts to enact stricter rules against copyright abuse, not just in the US, but worldwide.

Sorry but the only way to stop piracy and make any sort of dent is to secure the content they are stealing. So you stop torrents (arent newsgroups still up and pumping no one stopped them?), then what happens when within 3 to 5 years everyone starts moving to fiber, or cable upload speeds increase dramatically.
My upload speed has increased over 5 times what it was in 2001. So you get people trading directly over instant messengers etc. Then how do you stop that? Someone will make a program that works off the instant messengers and connects people via a search utility or something and torrents will no longer matter.
People will ALWAYS find a way. The only way to slow it down is by the adult industry developing a secure content delivery system. Mainstream does it. Why cant we? How bout Silverlight? Sure sure anything on anyones screen can be stolen. There has to be an industry wide change to stop it. Its like talking to the wind I think though. If Microsoft, the Riaa, and the mpaa cant stop torrent sites can we?Last edited by stickyfingerz; 08-20-2007, 06:45 AM.Comment

Backbone providers are not liable for the data that passes through them. In short if piratebay is doing their own routing or using non us-ip space they are the end user ISP that gets the DMCA's. providers such as sprint and such that deliver ip transit don't care nor are liable. since they can't monitor everything that goes across their network they are safe/excluded per the DMCA.. i think its section f or e?Last edited by Spudstr; 08-20-2007, 12:52 PM.Comment

there are some pretty serious laws being lobbied through congress right now that are designed to clear up that little loophole that these people operate under. the mpaa and riaa have worked tirelessly to push some laws through that could cripple these kind of networks. we as people who depend on these laws to help us should pray to whatever gods we serve that they are passed by congress. it will make it all the more easier to get our stuff off of their networks for good.

In a highly publicized decision in 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Grokster organization could be sued for copyright infringement. However, the Grokster application remains available for public downloads.
P2P Networks Supported by iMesh:

Newsgroups
still up and running. Running a loooong time.Why newsgroups? Why not websites?
Money. It's as simple as that -- newsgroups are free and websites cost money. A website requires a centralized server that handles all user requests, and thus to host a pornography website costs a lot of $$ to handle all of the traffic. However, newsgroups are a distributed system -- news is transmitted to various ISP's, and stored on the ISP's computers. It's like each ISP has a little piece of the content on it, and this minimizes costs significantly.
Most adult websites charge a fee, either monthly or yearly. Some claim to be free, but usually have some trick associated with them that requires use of your credit card for "verification" purposes! Newsgroups are free, and so is BinaryVortex.

Supdstr, technically, any and all parties providing any connectivity in any manner could be liable. Because DMCA is a fairly poorly written law, if you are based in the US if you send a DMCA to everyone including your own ISP (where you are connecting to the net), they could be found liable for providing access. It is doubtful, I don't think it would fly in court, but there is no definition of distance or restriction on hosts or service providers. Essentially, anyone in the chain that could have stopped the copyright violation but did not could be considered liable themselves.Backbone providers are not liable for the data that passes through them. In short if piratebay is doing their own routing or using non us-ip space they are the end user ISP that gets the DMCA's. providers such as sprint and such that deliver ip transit don't care nor are liable. since they can't monitor everything that goes across their network they are safe/excluded per the DMCA.. i think its section f or e?
Most of the europe to america transit is provided by american companies. They would likely take action, especially if (as RonC suggested) they were buried under a pile of DMCA notices, and that the pile was replenished on a regular basis with more and more DMCA notices.
It should be noted as well that european IP blocks are all issued by RIPE in the Netherlands, which may also be a great place to hit up. There are plenty of options on how to mount an agressive campaign on the issue.Comment
