gideon - do the world a favor & please try some bath salts

70 % of all files were only downloaded once or less

so your already have a majority of it being totally legit

of the remaining 30%

when you consider the differences between country laws (ie canada piracy tax etc)

maybe 1/2 of that is potentially infringing

and if they met the requirements of the safe harbor (something which many legal experts say they do given the wording about denying ACCESS (as an option). That goes to zero.

and so did mega upload

they more than complied with dmca take downs


if your defending RK for following the letter of the law, that they know isn't good enough rather then doing a security check that would actually solve the problem (bondable employee)

Then the same principle applies to companies like mega upload who also fully comply with dmca.

This is it right here.

It would if they did. They did not. This was pretty provable with the evidence. It was a bad serve on the warrant, not a loack of proof of wrong doing.

Reread the complaint the entire argument about not complying with the DMCA was because

1. stored the file once and created unique pointers for each user
2. they removed links (that were reported) to the content rather then removing the original file. (removed access not the content)


Many legal experts have come to the conclusion that is good enough given the fact that the DMCA gives the service provider the choice between removing the file and removing access

given the fact that the same exact file could have an infringing use (distribution) and a non infringing use (backup, space shifting) depending on if the unique url was shared or not shared it really was the only way they could do what they both prevent infringement and serve those people who were using the service legitimately.

"What about free speech" - yeah, exactly, what about it, where do we see it is either oppressed or restricted? What's wrong with the free speech? Fat fag is speaking freely, even while under investigation. He's posting at some of the most popular sites in the world, addresses people and is allowed to say basically anything he wants. He's even singing and addresses president himself, and quite probably his clip was already seen by president. So wtf is exactly wrong with the free speech? Bloodsucker is enjoying it to the most extreme, when he has something to say - whatever he says gets reported and reposted by thousands of media outlets including even big TV channels sometimes.

Whatever posting a cracked Windows of Photoshop and selling it for profit has to do with the free speach? Because selling of stolen shit is the only thing that the fat fag is accused of doing, and denied of doing. But when HE himself has something to say, which is pretty much different from stealing commercial products such as Windows of Photoshop - he's allowed to say anything, in any form, and basically he's allowed to address the whole world, and he's doing just that. So wtf is wrong with the free speech?

btw if it was just a bad serve on a warrent and all the previously collected evidence proved they were guilty

all the government would have to do is drop the current charges, and re issue a new warrant


it a lot more than that.

from the jurisdictional issue that means they should even have a right to charge them
