it appears as if most of the "smoking guns" against mega upload are just like the "smoking guns" against youtube.

ahh he will be ok in the end

I can't believe the RIAA fucked up!

/sarcasm

The good news is that the damage to that industry is already done. Has anyone added back those features and started paying for traffic generated by user uploads to trademarked material?

Yes, it all went back to normal for the most part. Though, some of the filehosts are a least a bit more amenable to work together to protect content that is being reported.

this is exactly what I was hoping for...an obvious pirate idiot who will rub a technicality in the face of the law and somehow get away....wind in the sails of SOPA/PIPA/ACTA...

well its an article on torrentfreak what do you expect, so they are bias in every way possible.

It'll be interesting to see if the facts line up work his claims.

The Viacom vs. Youtube article is interesting because while the first half of the article makes clear Youtube was knowingly and deliberately profiting from large scale infringement, the second half says Viacom was uploading some of the videis it was complaining about. It sounds longer it would be an open an shut case for someone other than Viacom to sue Youtube - someone who wasn't uploading.

nothing new for me here ...

Just passing by ...

might have similar issues

Maybe. Having an attorney ask them to license promo videos and to sign a contract that would probably have them assume liability for infringement via their service isn't exactly a smoking gun, though. Big difference between talking about posting a trailer versus having whole feature movies stolen.

If anything it's known who he is now. What he looks like and personal details. It only takes one person with a vendetta and means to make his life a living hell or worse.

He's going to be a target from here on out.

Looks legit, dude :winkwink:

They'll fuck him on the money laundering charges.... Besides that he still has to dodge the private security companies from Universal and friends... lol

Good luck to that whale hiding his blubber...

If anyone is stupid enough to think the DOJ have built their case on a single 50 cent song...I have a bridge I'd like you to buy...

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz going into receivership on their Manhattan digs in Feb indicate what they were about with Kim. They some broke ass bitches, or appear to be, at this point in time.

the money laundering charges are because he tried to convert copyright infringement money into clean host ad revenue money.

Take away the underlying copyright infringement and then he is only guilty if turning clean hosting ad revenue money into clean host ad revenue money.

replace viacomm with the doj and you have the exact same statement when i argued against the smoking gun in the youtube case.

With the screw up in the warrant a lot of evidence is now fruits of the poison tree.

Gideon sure spends a lot of time here considering he's a lawyer.

He is a lawyer... right? :winkwink:

yes with gideon consulting pro bono with his made up legal definitions i think dotcom has this one in the bag.
