- Rapheal99, on 09/15/2008, -1/+15for the freedom of information,and the good of humanity, they had better win.
- AmyVernon, on 09/15/2008, -0/+14Whatever happens in this case will set a huge precedent for the future of downloads, many of which are legal. I find it amazing that they're putting the pressure on the search engine for the .torrent sites and not the torrent sites themselves...
- MacBookForMe, on 09/14/2008, -0/+14Hope is not enough, let's believe in that! :)
- Definition, on 09/15/2008, -0/+8Speaking of Canadian Copyright, Bill C-60 is like Canada's DMCA.
We need to eliminate that aswell. - tcardone05, on 09/15/2008, -0/+7Can I donate to the isoHunt legal fund?

- cameldung, on 09/15/2008, -0/+5Bill C-60 already died because and election was called, so don't worry about.
Worry about what will replace C-60 - bitterbug, on 09/15/2008, -1/+6Even if the judge understands the technology and the merits of the case, there are other considerations when the judgement is at hand:
1) Is he constipated.
2) Did his wife turn him down for sex last night.
3) Does he think their lawyer is a prick.
4) Judges prefer to make precedents, not break them. So if there's anything in the past to screw it up, he/she will probably find it.
That's the reality of law. - avixK7, on 09/15/2008, -0/+5agreed, although I do believe it's called Bill C-61 if memory serves :)
- inactive, on 09/15/2008, -0/+5I think the CRIA will go with the Chewbacca defense.
- ncapone, on 09/15/2008, -0/+5isoHunt FTW!
- hkbebe1, on 09/15/2008, -0/+4i hearted Isohunt
- ak4444, on 09/15/2008, -0/+4***** THE MPAA
- noahgelman, on 09/15/2008, -1/+5Can't you search for torrents on regular search engines anyways? Why not prosecute google and yahoo and ask.com and everyone else too. Places like mininova and TPB are just search engines that are made for searching for downloadable material and provide more information on what that material is. What people search for and download is up to the people.
- TPorter72, on 09/15/2008, -0/+4bill c-60 was the liberal one. c-61 is harpers version. I think. But they are both dead. Definition just don't vote conservative... wait your 15, ok pose as your dad and vote anything but conservative.... or the bloc they suck too.
- coldkill3r, on 09/15/2008, -0/+3This is ridiculous. There are things called "legal torrents" that many search engines also index. It would serve them well to know that.
***** the ***AA's! - roxgod666, on 09/15/2008, -1/+4***** JOHN MCCAIN!!!
- maj0rm0j0, on 09/15/2008, -1/+4isoHunt has come along nicely. I remember them asking me to put their search up when I owned debateroom. I hate to say, but the CRIA has the advantage by drawing this out and extracting legal fees from isoHunt until they can't pay anymore. I hope that doesn't happen, but I bet it's their plan.

- Definition, on 09/16/2008, -0/+2Probably stick with green or even ndp.
- inactive, on 09/15/2008, -0/+2If they take down isohunt they should have to take google down next!
- pseudononymist, on 09/15/2008, -0/+2belief is not enough, donate money to their cause
- HotGore, on 09/15/2008, -0/+2Well only for Canada.
- atarijedi, on 09/15/2008, -0/+2This one is better

http://isokalitebelgesi.blogspot.com/ - SteveMax, on 09/15/2008, -0/+1Isohunt is a search engine. I can search for "OpenSuse KDE Live CD" on it, and I'll get a 100% legal torrent as the result; but I can search for "Dark Knight", and get an illegal one.
It's the same in Google. I could search for "Download OpenSuse on Google, and I'd get a 100% legal download page; but I could search for "Dark Knight torrent" or "preteen sex videos", and get some pretty illegal results.
The point here is: are search engines legally responsible for the results they show? Is it technologically possible to examine every possible result before showing them? Should the search engines guess what is legal and what is illegal in the country where a user is?
Really, this decision is as important for Google, Yahoo etc as it is for IsoHunt. They all rely on the possibility of giving the best matches for whatever the user is searching, and on the idea that the legality/illegality of those results is to be decided by the user (and whatever consequences should be faced by the users and by the sites they go to, not by the search engine). A widespread belief that Google should babysit its users would have a HUGE impact on the Internet. - ElectricKetchup, on 09/15/2008, -0/+1ROFLMATO! WTF DUDE
- xjonnyx134, on 09/15/2008, -4/+5Buried you for digging for a ripped off rework over posted picture with some inherent inaccuracies.
Though I dugg the article because it is important. - BrokenCircle, on 09/15/2008, -0/+1***** the AA, I could quit at anytime I want.

- jacobhill69, on 12/04/2008, -0/+0I <3 Isohunt !
http://www.curemysweatyfeet.com - sodimizer, on 09/15/2008, -1/+0wiggles are much better
- shnuffy, on 09/15/2008, -3/+2It's ballsy for IsoHunt to do this, but a good thing. They are effectively sealing their fate, for better or for worse. Their cases relies on technicalities and the full understanding of technology, and unfortunately most judges simply do not have that understanding. It will be on the lawyers to explain in great detail what torrents are and how they actually work if IsoHunt is to have a chance. I'm interested to see the outcome of this one...
