The Simpsons Movie pirating suspect home raided (LINK)
 

http://www.mpaa.org/press_releases/a...drel_aug07.pdf


more than 3000 people downloaded the movie from a bittorrent site within 24 hours. the guy who uploaded it got a nice visit from law enforcement. a raid on his house.

sucks to be him.

owned.... double owned for pirating a cartoon.

Cant say I feel sad for the guy. I hope they make sure he have to pay for his crime.

NICE!! Love to hear that they are on top of it, in a big way!!!

we can only dream that the same thing would happen to those that upload porn videos to torrents....

Wow didnt take them long

Good about time they do something about that shit.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but the MPAA is pipedreaming.

The video is still available, for instance on the pirate bay, say here : http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3776124/...Rip.XviD-SharK
, and will forever be avaiable, as the Internet never forgets. Oh, and I don't think this is a shitty camcorder copy, either.

So, I guess, some 21 year old got sent to jail in Australia. Big deal ?

that is so illegal. ...............
he must be behind bars..............

Pipe dream or not, at least they are attempting to do something about the problem... if they put enough people behind bars, it will deter others from pirating movies...

Doubtful. If this was the case, people wouldn't murder, rape, rob you, molest children, etc.

Well there may be a small difference between piracy of content and murder, rape, etc...

But if there is sufficient legal attention paid to torrent sites and other piracy then normally law abiding people would steer clear. Until the next way to pirate comes about...

Exactly. The punishment for murder is death or if they're luck, life in prison, yet people murder other people every day.

That's like saying if you make the warning label on cigs bigger, people will stop smoking. It doesn't matter what you do or say, people are going to do what they do.

They should raid Google to.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

well i can say that there isnt a such thing as a piracy crime living here in romania, fuck my isp even offers an ftp login to download mainstream movies, they have like 400 on there, and on top of that the download speeds are reaching five megabytes per second as its all on their internal network.....craziness

And that is exactly the problem. There can never be "enough" attention paid to it. People have tried before, with the war on drugs, to pay "enough" attention so that some social ill may go away. They failed. There's a lesson in that.

The leson being that there are never enough resources available to spend on preventing something people in general want to do. It's really that simple. The reason murder is more or less contained is because people in general don't want to murder.

People in general want to do drugs and use content for free.

they should raid rapidshare and megaupload too.. all copyright materials are hosted there for free.

Fucking Owned!

Ok . . .

sad but true...


The Simpsons are much bigger than most think...

its not just a cartoon... its an empire... ill bet bigger than martha stewart

Fuck fuck fuck and fuck! Poor kid, who bought him a camcorder? Send his parents to jail instead :))) .........

Asian countries have the most piracy ..... oh and walk down the streets of china town in the heart of America..... New York....you cant take 10 steps before getting hit with a copied dvd of movies for a buck! yuck!
