Madawgz do you have a torrent site?

I am sure madawgz and the owners of the biggest torrent sites on the web are this ->||<- close.

and seems like only yesterday that he was a useless, fence-building postwhore

most of those owners have never heard of you

You're doing a great job as his adviser. I got a lot of info on him from a link that you're connected to. Maybe he should give you a raise

Nice way of thinking. I like your attitude

Idiot, If you give into scum you become scum.

Because pissing them off will just make them want to rub it in your face even more just because they can?

i suggest you do a little research on the case between the Movie association and isohunt

the fact is those torrent sites are like directory sites like dmoz or search engines like google.com
infact google has a greater liablity because they actively spider outside sites.

DMCA is a balancing act trying to protect hosts and search engines etc from false claims of copyright infringement while at the same time giving copyright holders a way to protect themselves.

The fact is there are countless examples of copyright holders overstating their rights.


for example viacom sued google for their content being loaded on youtube.com the made the mistake in including parodies of thier shows in their list.

There lawyers misrepresented copyright rights of items which were expressly permitted as fair use under the copyright act.

if you are a copyright holder comply with the law, if the site choose to violate the law by ignoring your DCMA complient request then you have the ability to sue them into oblivion. Bitching becaue the DCMA does not perfectly protect you at the expense of the rights of other is just stupid, becuase the law must equally balance the rights of all parties.

these got damn torrent threads for the past 4 months are beginnign to get lame.com

are torrent webmasters really so "kind"?
