    Porn Studios Accused of Screwing Their Fans in BitTorrent Lawsuits

    "A handful of pornography producers are being accused of racketeering, fraud, defamation and other charges in connection to their BitTorrent online litigation trolling strategies.

    The program is simple: They sue IP addresses in court ? addresses detected to have allegedly and unlawfully downloaded copyrighted pornography without permission. Often, judges in these cases order internet service providers to cough up the identities of the account holders of the ISP ? and the shakedown begins, according to the Kentucky federal court suit (.pdf), which seeks class-action status."

            I only support going after the uploaders, the owners of the pirate sites, possibly the hosts, and if you can the advertisers and processors. It's asking for trouble to go after every guy (or gal) with his dick in his hand who clicks a link. A good many of those people probably have no idea that what they are doing is illegal. It might work in theory but it's probably going to create one hell of a backlash.

            You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

                  Yeah and I believe in going after stores that entice people with merchandise and
                  not the shoplifters.

                      A shoplifter knows full well that they are stealing though. Some guy clicking a link he finds in Google doesn't necessarily know that. A good majority might but not all of them. There's so many other better targets than the downloader that it makes little sense to go after them unless it's the last choice you have. Unless your motives are a money grab.
