sig spot

It's exactly dumb fucks like you that make this industry 75% less profitable than it is.

How exactly do you think distributing copyrighted content can ever be legal? It's good for the end user.. free shit.. its bad for THE INDUSTRY. This is an INDUSTRY board.

Retard.

You are wrong. Internet is filled with torrent sites (unlike CP sites that get shut down very fast), and there is nothing that could be done about torrent sites because they use P2P protocol (site owners aren't responsible for anything) and it is impossible to track down millions of P2P users and sue them.

Torrent sites do not distribute copyrighted content, individual internet users do.


:1orglaugh

No it would make you a spineless cunt who people shouldn't do business with.

So you'd promote CP too if it was legal?

all the major torrent sites had to run away and hide their servers in countries with dumbshit lawyers and fucked up judges.

Torrent sites are illegal in a lot of countries.

"Hiya, I know where you can buy a stolen rolex" If you were doing this, it would be illegal.

"Hiya, I know where you can buy stolen porn" This SHOULD also be illegal.

This is why I hate shakula so much. People supporting porn torrents should get a ban from the board IMO

Holy shit, you can download illegal stuff on BitTorrent?
C'mon smokey, this is very 2003, even for you :|

Then why did Napster and BitTorrent get slammed.

hahaha it is pathetic, truly pathetic. targetting websites by seo now is pretty pointless, especially the big ones like realitycash, naughty america and bangbros. 8/10 results are the videos from the site on bittorrent.

p.s. ntm keep out of things u dont understand.

Lets stop these posts. Nobody cares and nothing will be done.

Torrent sites distributing copyrighted content without permission is illegal. If they just distributed rips it would be one thing (and still illegal), but most of the "seeders" remove copyright notices... That would be oh... $25,000 per offense or so :P

Idiot. Napster had nothing to do with torrents [you're only wrong by about 5 years], and BitTorrent itself is a 100% legal program. Get with the fucking picture.

Smokey you dumb fuck.

Bears don't have wool, they have fur. They are pulling the FUR over your eyes.

Duh. :winkwink:

Torrent sites do not distribute copyrighted content. Individual users do.

torrent sites FACILITATE the distribution of copyrighted content. happy now? dumbass :ticking

torrent sites suck

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

yep, I fucking hate them

Facilitating a crime is also a crime.

i need a raise

judging by the views alot of people care :winkwink:

And i dont think lensman OR the HEFSTER will sit idly by while their content is being stolen so blatantly.

The problem is pretty simple.. i am a salesman for lensman, im seling his product . I cant sell his product is its being given away for free.

If he doesnt have a problem with it, then neither do i.

in 2003 there werent full versions of almost every paysite available to download..

In 2003 people shared what they got. the torrent scene is much different now. These people arent sharing. someone goes about stealing content for the SOLE purpose of advertising non-competing products ( i.e. dating )

in 2003 i wasnt competing with torrent on the se's

they are probably putting some stuff out there on torrents on purpose.

No they don't.

BitTorrent is just a peer-to-peer communications protocol for file sharing. What the users share is not the site's problem.

Educate yourself dumbass:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Do you promote any paysites?

Man your defending something thats fucking our industry in the ass pretty hard.

Do you??

I'm not defending it. I just saying that you are all idiots.

You all whine on message boards (just for the sake of whining, because no one has a clear understanding of the problem) and no one would actually lift a finger to do anything about it.

While all you idiots who make $300 a month whine and moan, real "industry" players don't give a shit and are laughing all the way to the bank.

I know, I wonder what torrent site he runs

Will my boy. Read what I said.

You out them on a public forum and they have time to remove the content, change sponsors, etc. It seems to me you guys are all after temporary solutions (sponsor removal) rather than a longterm solution (suing the fuck out of them/getting them off the internet). Contact a lawyer and see what he tells you. His advice surely won't be to start threads on public forums giving the offender the chance to remove your content before the crime has even been documented.

If you are not the content owner you should contact the content owner PRIVATELY so they can take legal action accordingly. I know it's fun to call out these little love triangles on GFY and you probably will get a faster response, but it does little to actually bring down the torrent sites or harm the people running them. AFF drops them, there are others that will slide in. I'm sure the cost of running those sites is minimal. One lost AFF check isn't gonna stop them.

Just my opinion. We do own content, and I'm telling you we would rather be told about theft and criminal activity involving our content privately.

Organizations like MPAA and RIAA have been battling torrent sites with very little success. What makes you think losers like you will make a difference? :1orglaugh

So yeah, keep making these idiotic threads, maybe someone will buy your sig next month.

lol wikipedia is a website you tard..

You dont get sent to prison by wikipedia.. ask a judge .. EVERY country has diff laws but MOST follow the digital millenium copyright act .. those that do would find any of the torrent sites posted so far ILLEGAL..

could there be a torrent site that operates in a legal fashion ? yes
Have i ever seen one ? no
Are you being a tard ? yes :1orglaugh
Is the argument of legality even a point ? no .

bwahaha what planet do you live on ...

Actually, without the site acting as a tracker you wouldn't be able to share shit using the BitTorrent protocol. At least not yet, anyway. You need to upload a torrent to a tracker, then seed the file for others to download. No uploaded torrent, no peer-to-peer filesharing. So yes, torrent sites are facilitating the illegal sharing of copyrighted material, whatever it may be.

NTM are you for real? :helpme

I agree with your points Smokey but this is where you are wrong.Most countries dont give a shit about the DMCA.That´s the problem.If you don´t believe me just look at the pirates bay.They even post the complaint letters they get on their site and make fun of them.
And there are legal BT sites (linux ISO sites for one.)

But you are right,this situation really sucks.We could spend all day arguing about the legality of it but at the end of the day we are all getting fucked here and if you cannot see it then you will when it hits you where it counts: your pockets.

the bittorrent protocol itself isn't illegal. i've seen it used properly many times. for example blizzard used it to facilitate patches and upgrades for their world of warcraft software. it is used properly with intended purpose by many companies. don't bash the protocol. it wasn't purposely designed to be used for the distribution of stolen content.

I'm personally not bashing it. I'm bashing the sites that facilitate content theft and illegal spreading of stolen material. :)
