What is Digg?9 Comments
- michuk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5This is kind of a duplicate of http://digg.com/movies/Poland_9_People_Arrested_for_Translating_Movies but the first story was rated as "inaccurate" probably due to the term "arrested" instead of "held by police" or "held for questioning". Thus, I'm submitting a corrected version.
Here are some other comments in the net confirming the story as accurate:
- Poland’s most popular piracy website shut down by police: http://sciitnews.com/news_2655.html
- Translation of the official Police statement on napisy.org: http://www.betonblog.pl/2007/05/17/napisyorg/ - michuk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The news disappeared again (it's neither on the main page nor in the upcoming section). I'm wondering why.
- monarchista, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Seems that ZPAV boys have finally reached Digg ;)
- michuk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Is it just Digg effect (but where is the link?) or what some organized DDOS action, perhaps?
Message to the unaware: policja.pl is the official service of Polish police forces. - harad, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I hope they will be fine and cleared of any allegations.
But this situation has to be informed to bigger publicity as this is every day ***** in Poland. - JanWinnicki, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0www.policja.pl server is down lol
- michuk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Yes, the police is actually going to arrest the most active translators. It won't be hard I guess since in napisy.org they had a reward system for adding the most translations (rankings, etc) so people usually submitted from their accounts, and it's easy to identify them this way.
But in general, I'm not sure which paragraph they were accused of violating (especially the administrators and moderators). I don't think there is one. And hopefully it will be eventually explained since currently the police did not say anything precise about the case... - smoqonline, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0They where kept for distributing community translated subtitles? No way they did translate even little piece of it - there where thousands of users who typed all nights listening to the original tracks - will they grab them too? Silly little rabbits :/
- mandarin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Maybe they were translating porn movies....
