i didn't read any of this

His defense here is that since he was super seeding, and the torrent files downloaded weren't 100% his but pieces of his files. If they are going to his site to download a torrent and part of the files are coming form him and he is making money from advertising hes still technically profiting from stolen content isn't he? It is a tv show, so I am assuming no one purchased them. Idk, just my way of understanding it.

I don't have a personal grudge against gg, sometimes I see his posts but honestly I hit a few walls of text and move on to something sillier. I had to mention this though because of what you said. Even if he can slide by using these methods, that post shows that he had a site at one point where he was giving out links to torrents and providing partial files in an a successful attempt to make money off it via advertising right? If you read into what he says, its obvious hes taunting everyone on the fact he cant get sued for the illegal torrent because the download doesn't come 100% from him but he's admitting to being a part of it.

If enough people download the same torrent, wont the seeder eventually complete a whole download? Just what I got off of this.

Again, idk. Just curious

His WHOLE THING was that pirating someone's content isn't stealing because digital copies were being made not hard copies being removed from a shelf and you had fair use to it because you don't need permission from the copyright holder.
Hiding behind a twisted and self serving definition doesn't stop the fact that most here would consider using their products without paying for it stealing.

As an employer, I would want to know what my employees are doing on my computers during the time I'm paying them to work for me.

Anyone who is posting from work, is stealing from his employer and deserves the sack.

Informing an employer of this isn't wrong. Letting an employer see the views of an employee is useful for the employer to judge his suitability to the job.

GG's views on what was piracy and what was not went far beyond just creating back ups of bought content. Go read his posts to get the full picture.

Until then just be happy that someone who was stealing from his employer, by posting on boards during time he should of been working. Got fired.

Stop looking for proof or examples. It's very simple.

A) He repeatedly poked the bear.
B) The bear finally bit him.

and finally,

C) The bear will stop attacking when it god damned feels like it.

Advocating piracy which hurts intellectual property owners is fucking with their private life.


He worked for a company that made software.


Payback is always a bitch. Problem is, you don't know how big the hand is going to be that smacks the shit out of you when that payback comes. Sometimes it is a lot larger than you expected.

Wait, you mean the porn industry has scum bags in it?

Pirates = Good People

Good People who go after pirates = Scum Bags

Best post in the thread.

I am not comfortable with people taking their online shit into the real world like this.

It sets a president and now do we all have to worry every-time we post something that someone else does not agree with?

You could argue that he crossed a line, the problem is we will all have our own opinion of where that line should be.

We have judges and a whole legal system to tell us where the line is in the 'real world'.

Is the person that dished out this punishment to GG the correct person to make decisions on when it is time to punish someone?

Remember we are not talking about being banned or told off by a mod but real world actions that have real world consequences.

Precedent

It was the spell checks fault - honestly :)....

You speak as if all of our jobs are make believe and have no real world existence. Shit stains like GG contribute to REAL LIFE losses for intellectual property owners. That is the real world, and it is fitting to see him dealt with in the same manner.

It is not just his comments, it is everything he stands for and believes in that insults and harms our industry (and others). As another poster said above, there is no difference between being a terrorist and supporting terrorism. In the eyes of the law, you are the same. The same applies to piracy.

I'm sure GG's boss isn't very happy knowing his employee supports the theft of his product and very well may be pirating their products, which there is a good chance he is.

You reap what you sow.

There is no opinion of where the "line" is when it comes to theft. It's either stolen or it's not. You either know it's stolen or you don't. Anyone trying to cloud that simple truth is either a pirate or a freeloader who believes he doesn't have to pay for things that others created.

:1orglaugh Hairy muff

and what about people that makes a living on illegal produced content,
can they claim ownership of that content?

mr trololo is smiling

We are talking about what has been said on GFY - If this is the real world then god help us all.

I like GFY, thats obvious, but it is sometimes a place to escape reality.

There is a very thick line when it comes to Copyright. Thats the problem.

Don't get me wrong GG's views are VERY wrong in my opinion.

I just don't like the idea of someone from here acting as Judge, Jury and Executioner.

I think the whole industry would benefit from a review of the copyright laws. Every lawyer i talk to about this thinks that they are redundant, confusing and unfit for purpose. :2 cents:

QFT.


But there is another important point here. Peeps on forums create their own keyboard warrior personas. They say things to each other which they would never do in person. You would not get through the day without getting punched if you spoke your mind as if on a forum where no one knows where you work and live.

So I think we should all realise that forums are no different to the real world, if you piss people off they might decide that you need to be re-alligned with reality.

I personally would not go as far as what has been done to Mr Gallbladder but neither would I say it was wrong or that he did not deserve it. GG reaped what he sowed.

GG thought that a board persona gave him the right to say whatever he wanted to a group of people with real lives and businesses. But just like the good folks at Westboro you take this line and you find that those you attack are entitled to free speech aswell.

There are one or two others that post similar stuff to GG. "Its not theft" is a particularly difficult line to swallow when it is your stuff being stolen. "There is nothing you can do about piracy" is another argument that might get you into trouble. I am not advocating any kind of backlash against those that hold this view, but really a forum is just like real life, you temper what you say to people or be prepared for the consequencies.

:2 cents:

No. Dont be silly.

They are theives.

What someone creates or where they create it is irrelevant. The fact is, they created it and they own it. This is 100% about who owns and controls created works. Nothing more.

Saying something was produced illegally does not mean they can not own it. In most states in the USA it is illegal to make porn. It is also illegal to make porn in many countries. Being created under a law that *may* rule that creation illegal is not a reason to take away ownership from the person who created it. That just means you happen to be in a place where a law was in place at the time of creation, and that law could change at any time, in any direction. But you still own what you created. That's how it works.


GG made his point years ago and has been beating a dead horse every since just to spite everyone here and try to rub their faces in it. Now he's getting his face rubbed in it.

What is said here in passing and what is said here by someone who is part of group that is harming the lives of everywhere here are different things. GG knows what he is doing and this is the price he will have to pay for poking the bear. That's just the way it works sometimes. If you don't like it, don't poke the bear. GG prided himself on getting away with kicking the bear for several years, but in the end it doesn't look like it worked out the way he planned. That's life.

If someone wants to play keyboard tough guy or troll and it backfires eventually, he has no one to blame but himself. I feel no pity for GG or anyone like him who eventually gets their ass handed to him.

Good post.

If someone wants to support piracy, they are free to do so, but go do it somewhere else.

so who did all the sluething on gallbladder? It's impressive

100+ Attacks - And Gideon Gallbladder Still Wants to Know:

Or a few answers will do...

ADG

you win then

Nice find. I just started a new thread about that one.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Possibly the most ironic statement ever on GFY.

just another tro lo lo lo lo ool getting outed
ds

:2 cents: QFT

I actually sort of agree with this. But if GG went on a rampage informing people's employers of how much pointless drivel they post here, how many less nicks would we have ?

in there lies the problem. There should be just a board where no dickem fools have day jobs.
ds

:1orglaugh

There you go. A section of GFY with ONLY people who can prove they are in this industry. That way all the surfers could still come to GFY and play-pretend to be millionaires on the Fucking Around Section.

And we would all still come here too to fuck around.

But just ONE section that is only for real people in adult...sort of like the AVN CEO dinner guest list. Some place where we could discuss important things that may come up WITHOUT having gideongallery or DamianJ, or any of the other multitudes of people who ONLY come here to troll.
It gets tiresome when you really have something you want to do business wise to have those clowns come in and completely sidetrack the thread.

I would say that ONE section would be one that the person would have to identify themselves and their business to the moderators and be put on a list of people who are vetted and proven to actually be in the industry.
No beginners or fringe players in that section.

Hey Gideon,

Eat a bowl of dicks.

Hope you end up homeless.

Well well, 3 pages (so far)...guess the attacks ain't stoppin', eh GG?

Or is it now uniquemkt? Hilarious that you think you can just "carry on" blathering with the new nick and we won't know it's you.

Now, let's just pray GG/uniquemkt doesn't go and start pirating content. That would be bad, mmm'kay?

probably wont work :2 cents:

So eloquently put, but I concur. :1orglaugh

good morning gfy.

gideon....:1orglaugh


you got what you asked for LOL...time to "job shift" your ass :1orglaugh... you literally begged for it LOL...

my advice:

file a DMCA against everybody in this form and we will each charge you 50$ to process :1orglaugh

more advice:

work for free :1orglaugh you do not need a job...if you cant compete with free you cant compete period remember? so who needs a job

even more advice:

make billions with your method...just blog like whil weaton did and talk about random shit...:1orglaugh

Got to disagree on this one Gideon is not uniquemkt. Just look at the use of language. uniquemkt is much more articulate.
