Re: US Department of Justice forces people to buy Microsoft Windows
I have to blame Clinton and the Congress of 1998 on this one. The DMCA was passed and it added a new facet to tyranny in government. "Fair use" disappeared with this piece of legislation and the industry still wants more powers.
The MPAA and RIAA can [censored] off as far as I am concerned. No one should have that much power. We have had this debate go on for many pages on here before, so I won't rehash it. |

Re: US Department of Justice forces people to buy Microsoft Windows
Err, excuse me, I wasn't calling pvn stupid, or even the thread stupid. I meant the topic - er what I really meant was the "subject" line, I was in a rush. Let me rephrase my statement, in all seriousness because I mis-spoke,
"The thread subjet is extremly misleading." There, that's what I really meant. The thread itself provides for discussion of theft and copyright infringment, which is important. |

Re: US Department of Justice forces people to buy Microsoft Windows
What are the chances of being prosecuted for merely downloading copyrighted material on the web? Ive always assumed that if the Feds found out you downloaded a movie you could just say your mouse went spasm and downloaded it by accident or your 2 year old nephew did it by mistake and as a results they wouldn;t be able to do anything.

Re: US Department of Justice forces people to buy Microsoft Windows
They look like letters regarding the hosting and not specifically downloading.
The letter seems more like a warning than anything. I once sold a VCD on ebay, got a letter in the post about copyright 5 years ago, ignored it and nothing happend since. |
