I worry about this, I try to keep the kids legal and don't allow sharing software on my computers. But I know people with thousands of music titles.

After downloading a copy of our Savage haynes manual, I got to thinking about it and went out and bought a copy. It is sooo easy to slip.

I heard the makers of The Hurt Locker were suing people over that.

if a creator of something puts something out for free that's their choice. but people need to pay for some content, or we are going to have ad sponsored everything. it's so easy to steal something when it's only digital right? on the other side, people want things in digital format, and the creators aren't providing it in good formats, maybe licensing it for downloads allowing people to buy it with 3 licenses with it, one for your desktop and one for your laptop and one for a mobile device maybe, as a creator, I'd like to be paid for what I create, and this kinda stuff scares me a little.

his mother and father are both American.And do you really think they would deport someone for stealing a movie ? they don't deport for stealing medical help or the price of having a baby, this is Oregon not Arizona or Texas thank god.

what's to explain ? he downloaded a movie before it was released to the general public, some outfit in russia lets you download from there
the Makers of film watch the russian outfit and who is downloading by there IP address, first they send you a nastygram,telling you what the fine will be ,I guess my nephew is only 17 so they gave him a break,
at $1500 ,the fines went up last week the minimum is now $2500 or more. So I hope all you thieves are not christians .
Personally I'm an athiest and I don't steal,wierd uh ?

... and "Hurt Locker" wasn't even that good of a movie....

"Best Picture" my butt!... Huh

...

It was a pretty lame year for movies all 'round...

... and nominating "Dances with Smurfs" (Avatar) was a travesty too...
Has James Cameron ever had an original thought?... Did he pay for stealing that intellectual property?...
Paint the Indians blue in "Dances with Wolves" and you can't tell those movies apart!...

Whew!.... Glad I got that off my chest!.... Huh

a little more info if you need it,the russion outfit (we are not 100 % that the outfit is russian,anyway the name of the outfit is .
" BIT TORRENT" see anything at all like that ,run .
good luck, Sorry about the religious reflection in my last post,I must remember to keep it up in "you must be this tall".
Serowbot,I liked that movie the Hurt Locker, I remember to borrow it from my nephew.
I think I liked it because I was smoking by proxy,boy he was taking those long deep drags that I used to enjoy. Sh1t I just remembered I have to see my lung doctor in the morning,I hope smoking by proxy doesn't show.

WOW 1500 bucks... Did he have to go to court? I assume his name does not appear on the internet providers bill how come his parents did not take the wrap? I thought this was quite hard to prove as you could claim that someone has tapped into your wireless connection and downloaded using your ip. Not that I know anything about state laws.

I'm too lazy to be bothered to download stuff.. and I consider myself Pagan... lol the Lazy Religion...?

Get him to learn about using proxy ip addresses... Wink

I'm sure there are russian Bit Torrents but it's not exclusive to russia. it's a file sharing protocol that is mis-used a lot for this kinda stuff.

I'd make them take me to court...
How do you know that you're not being shaken down by the Russian bit-torrent, otherwise...
Plus,.. it'll cost them more than $1500.00 to take you to court...
Just say you can't be sure otherwise...

You can't trust that it's not a fraudulent claim over the net, phone, or mail...

Maybe Jerry E. can advise?... Huh
