The Pirate Bay Sued Over O.J. Simpson?s ?Murder Confession?
 

Interesting read, looks like he's gonna go after the advertisers


Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman who was murdered alongside Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994, has joined the long line of people threatening legal action against The Pirate Bay. Goldman demands that they take down O. J Simpson?s ?murder confession? book, a publication to which he owns the rights.

Simpson
In 2006, O.J Simpson announced he was publishing a book in which he claimed he would reveal what would?ve happened, had he really murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in a frenzied 1994 knife attack. After publication and public disgust, the book was canceled, with 400,000 remaining copies being destroyed.

Although Simpson was acquitted of the double murder in a criminal trial, he was found liable for the unlawful killings in a civil action and was subsequently ordered to pay $33.5 million. However, Simpson has become an expert on finding ways not to pay this huge amount.

As a result, Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman, has been taking action to get his hands on Simpson?s assets and has recently won the rights (90% of the royalties) to Simpson?s book, entitled ?If I Did It?. The book was renamed ?If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer? and became a best seller.

We reported back in June that a digital version of the book had already been made available for download via The Pirate Bay. Now, according to an Associated Press report, Fred Goldman - who claims to have lost $150,000 due to this leak - filed a lawsuit Thursday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, against The Pirate Bay.

Goldman?s attorneys wasted more of their client?s money by sending letters to The Pirate Bay demanding that the ?the Web site?s operators stop posting the book?. It seems they received the standard Pirate Bay response of reminding everyone that ?they are not subject to the laws of the United States?, which is of course, 100% true, residing in Sweden as they do.

The Pirate Bay?s brokep told TorrentFreak: ?It?s the same thing over again. People need to learn how the internet works before they try something like this. I welcome his lawsuit, since he has no case whatsoever. Maybe we should sue over taking our time and lying in the media about what we do??

The lawsuit claims that The Pirate Bay is making an ?illegal publication? of the book, with its advertisers - heavyweights such as Jamster, Target, The Wall Street Journal and Wal-Mart - collectively, according to attorney David Cook at least, providing ?the wealth through advertising?.

Cook said: ?Ron Goldman LLC will never be able to stop these pirates from posting that book online but they can do that in the poorhouse.?

Finishing on a threat may be customary Mr Cook, but it won?t work. Guaranteed.

For a little clarification.... The print is NOT available via thepiratebay.org however the download tracking information is.

And that is the loop-hole.

it's also actually quite comical the threats and responses at Pirate Bay...

thepiratebay.org/legal

:thumbsup

i seriously wonder why someone hasnt strapped a bomb to themselves and walked into tpb offices and blown themselves up. they have stolen billions of dollars of people, if you did that offline there would be repocutions.


can someone spell repocutions correctly for me, i cant seem to find the right spelling, thanks

yer missing the point d00d... thepiratebay.org steals nothing but provides the tracking information to the .torrent files spread through out the world....

so essentially it's the common p.c. users and I'd be willing to bet even the people who are claiming the suits is where the illegal downloads come from.

Additionally a site like thepiratebay.org is most likely at a loss of revenue due to the fact of the bandwidth they burn and the frivolous attacks they have to deal with on a daily basis.

you can spin it all you want, i know how it works, i know how file sharing works, the owners of the pirate bay know exactly what they are doing.

they are hiding behind a loophole, hense the reason why someone hasnt bombed them out of existence yet.


I also doubt they will be making a loss, like you say all people download all the trackers at about 50kb a tracker. seeing as they have 3 ads on a page im sure they are raking it in.

Um ok:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

lol... ya like that :-) I too am sure that they're making enough money to stay afloat, however they are not making the money ripping people off directly...lol...it comes from ad space :-D

and BadDogs walks through the door.....5,4,3,2,1.....

just read the legal section of thepiratebay... comedy gold.

so is that how it works :upsidedow you mean they make their money from ads. thanks for the clarification. We had no idea. I thought they were charging people $10 to down load a song. :upsidedow

I'm glad he let us in on the secret, I always wondered how the pirate bay made there money:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I read this article, but what I want to know is, did OJ get off on the charges of stealing at the pawn shop?

Yet the funny thing remains....

in the original post...stating that the site provides downloads, thats how they make they're money!

and in the first reply(not from me)...that they steal quote "billions of dollars of people"

so flame me all you want, but the burn is on you, because I was correcting your mis-information! And yes a little clarification was in order.

Hence, read what you post before you copy and paste....and....think about what you post and how it relates to the replies that follow it....that way you don't look like a complete ass ;-)

:2 cents:

don't worry no offense taken here... ;-) I just know what Im talking about, what Im replying too, and of course when I correct mis-information....

cute pic though...

Why would I feel like a complete ass posting an article written by someone from the torrent community? they wrote it not me:upsidedow

simply because of your sarcastic reply to me implying we all know where the money comes from, however the article you posted says or implies that the money comes from the downloads

so you either A) didn't read the article....or...B) didn't understand it.

My reply simply corrected the mis-information in the article.

Now it looks even worse that your asking for clarification on where you went wrong.

for fuck sake, you have no idea what you are talking about. first you think your smart by telling us tbp makes money off their ads and not there downloaders
just stfu


i cant believe i spent the time to write this..


fuck off noob!

Sorry d00d, I forgot how cool and knowledgeable you are/were/whatever...lmao...:1orglaugh

................:evil-laug

lol funny thread

secondly, I was not telling/letting anyone anything... I (again) was correcting the mis-information provided in the article ;-)

but I guess you already knew that huh??? (<---- hypothetical question ;-) )

STFU

dam you are like a fucking fly (pointless)

:1orglaugh

Dear sirs,
I'm running out of toilet paper, so please send lots of legal documents
to our ISP - preferably printed on soft paper.
No, but seriously. That's simply not how international law enforcement
works. Using the same logic, a country where web sites are forbidden could
press charges against you for having one. The Pirate Bay

it will be interesting if they start hitting the advertisers. They are for the most part us based.

Personally I don't give a fuck, I hate the torrent community and everything it stands for, I post articles from torrentfreak so other people in our industry (Adult) can read them and see what is being done to stop them, I don't write them, so if you have a problem with the article containing mis-information maybe you should email [email protected] and tell him he's full of shit and writing mis-leading imformation

You know im not being funny here but maybe you should stop posting links to torrents on here. I had never heard of the Pirate bay until I saw it posted on this forum and the more you post thier links the more surfers that come by this forum are gonna click on them, so in effect we are helping the torrents to get more popular:2 cents:

do you think we really care how torrent supporters think we look :2 cents:

Torrentfreak is a blog for the torrent community not a torrent site,

Wrong the whole concept is based on theft of copyrighted property.

Sugarcoat it anyway you want, lose as much money doing it as you want, the business plan is based on unauthorized use of someone else's sweat. That's called stealing and you know it.


.

crap argument. tried by Lars and others like him. I was never a big fan of the " stick your head up your ass and hope it goes away" plan.

you have never heard of the piratebay ? what rock you living under.

ok so now there are only 5 people in the world instead of 6 that haven't heard of it. :winkwink:

I honeslty did not even know what a stupid torrent was until I joined this forum I have never had any cause to use them.

I dont think some click from this forum matters.

"2.316.405 registered users. Last updated 01:04:03.
4.886.712 peers (2.605.723 leechers + 2.280.989 seeders) in 734.669 torrents on tracker."

yet you keep replying...and actually think you can tell me what to do :winkwink: :1orglaugh

so honestly it doesn't matter what font size you use....the facts remain, and you'll prolly still reply in defense to your wrongful flame...

again i was replying to your reply on my reply :-D in the case to which the reply above is replying to my reply on your reply (about the mis-information in the article not the article).... your totally missing the point...

btw... I do think it's a great idea to inform the community about whats going on online.

I just believe that if your going to debate/flame someone, it's probably a good idea to understand your side of the debate/flame ;-)

correct! however .torrent sites are not directly responsible for the copyrighted material, only the information leading to the material. The actual material resides on hard-disks all over the world on peoples machines and I'd even be willing to bet that "they" the people/agencies trying to stop this are guilty of it themselves.

yet the ironic twist remains that we're posting this on an adult message board, working in the adult industry. :upsidedow :)

CBS to Pirate Bay: 'You're ok by us'

:pimp

Don't split hairs they enable the problem to exist. I'm just the middle man in a crack business. I'm innocent. I don't store product in the house. I am able to make house payments (bandwith) from this arrangement but nothing is stored here. I'm innocent.

Sure.

.

Quote what you are talking about, I don't have a fuckin clue what you are on about.

do you run torrent sites by any chance?

:1orglaugh For their API radio reports, NOT their TV programming!
