- funchords, on 10/11/2007, -3/+530Some porno-industry tool said this on the TorrentFreak site:
> Porn company gets user’s billing info, as their ISP is
> required to give this info in a legal suit. User is located
> and served.
TO WHICH I RESPOND.......
That's when you find out that the subscriber turns out to be a unemployed grandmother, and the only one who uses the computer in the house is her 12-year-old grandchild.
AND THEN IT MAKES THE NEWS. And not like RIAA and MPAA makes the news when this happens to them. Movies and Music are just trashy and violent -- but YOU'RE THE PORN INDUSTRY, THE PEOPLE EVERYONE WANTS TO PROTECT THEIR KIDS FROM!
Suddenly, the government decides that regulation on the porn industry is not strong enough to protect kids, and comes crashing down on you.
- More 2257 regulation
- More health regulation -- (barebacking isn't that popular, anyway)
- Stronger adult verification of your customers
... oh, and I know ...
- Since porn isn't a "useful art" or "science" (the reason for copyright as stated in the Constitution), no copyright protection under the law
Yeah, go ahead!! Tell the world how the Porn industry is going to start using DMCA to get the personal information of Americans, perhaps even Children!
In fact -- be REAL SMART about it and start making a big deal about it about a year before a major Presidential election.
The delicious irony will be to watch the porn industry screw itself. - Spamcan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+141If you end up being wrongfully accused of downloading pornography and your name ends up on a public list of offenders can't you turn around and sue for defamation of character?
- Zippo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+90People pay for porn?!
- plaing, on 10/11/2007, -0/+85dugg for 'watch the porn industry screw itself'
- MarkOfTheDead, on 10/11/2007, -1/+69Damn, they want to unleash the wolves over 4% of their profit lost?
I pay more than 4% of my paycheck to the government every two weeks.
I hope it was worth it.....They should look at the RIAA and MPAA and learn from their mistakes, not follow in their footsteps. - hokie47, on 10/11/2007, -0/+61The porn industry is oversaturated because it is not that hard to make. A bottle of vodka and two women who have daddy issues.
- djchester, on 10/11/2007, -3/+55Those plans they made up are doomed.
- InsaneMachine, on 10/11/2007, -4/+52If you didn't read it, don't respond.
- Christbait, on 10/11/2007, -2/+46Only suckers pay for porn these days
- betterth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+41Well put. No other industry can jump onto the gestapo/customer hate bandwagon unless they are truly motivated to screw customers as the mpaa/riaa. They'll all fail because they don't have an army of lawyers and tons of media hype to scare people into paying.
I'm still amazed that a company can attack, sue, defame and impair it's customers and the only repercussion is higher sales. - noots, on 10/11/2007, -1/+41it's funny how the porn industry estimates the total revenue loss to around 4% while the RIAA / MPAA claim copyright infringement is killing the industry along with all sorts of other ***** claims.
- TheUngod, on 10/11/2007, -2/+42Sweet Jesus, what's the first rule of Usenet???
- kent1146, on 10/10/2007, -0/+36That's because the porn industry doesn't have their heads up their asses. They've seen what goes in there, and it ain't pretty.
- daftman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34Good Lord. Do they have ex-porn stars as strategists?
- protogenxl, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34The Internet is really really great.
- Jugalator, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27Yes, *****.com is pretty funny to read... :-) It's basically a forum where especially the online porn "industry" (mostly web masters) get together and become pissed off together about unauthorized porn sites. I think especially golden was the thread(s?) about them trying to take down Rip Productions (they link to tons of ripped material, as per the site's name) and failing in the end, and then *that* web master coming there to rile them up with talk about being "untouchable" to them. umm... I guess you had to be there.
- UglieJosh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23My Hobby:
Taking quotes from idiots on forums like this and using them completely out of context...
"Child Porn. This is HOT" - Ron Cadwell CEO of CCBill - kryptman40k, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24Most people in the online porn business didn't finish high school. I worked as an IT guy for a large streaming content site and they only employed their friends so they could smoke weed on the job.
A bunch of ***** ups taking on hacking groups = a good laugh. - GabrielS, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24Does it amuse anyone else that the adult entertainment industry is really concerned about child porn only where it can be used as PR tool to defend their bottom line?
- bdurkin, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Dugg for the subject of porn.
- catfish182, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20I resent that as i am not a two bit thief. I steal many bytes of stuff.
Horrible joke that did not need to be done.
Sorry - Tenetri, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19It really seems like an attempt that a 12 year old playing CS would try to do, in order to get some of the Good Players banned from a certain server.
Its funny how confused this guy is... "OMG I'll get the admin to ban you!" - themoors, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21If ripping off movies is theft, is ripping off porn rape?
- rebopper, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17It's called reading.
- yaryarhumphump, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16For porn!
- MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Someone should tape it and post the torrent.
- XIUgraag, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17ijsklontje is Dutch, it means a small icecube :P
- rivalius13, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18This is the bit where you give us a link....
- plbland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14They'll all fail because they don't have an army of lawyers and tons of media hype to scare people into paying.
...and even if they do they will fail - CarzorStelatis, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15ANYONE who is falsely accused of violating copyright using P2P can, in theory, sue for defamation - accusing you of breaking the law is a worse slur on your character than accusing you of watching porn. Catch is that the companies making the accusations usually have a large, well-paid legal team.
- zeromancer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12it's quite obvious that jeff goldbloom is the only hacker on earth 1337 enough to take down bit torrent. HE HACKED AN ALIEN SHIP! i can't even imagine how long he spent decrypting their TCP/IP stack. it blows my mind. <3 JG
- catfish182, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13So i should stop after the cream comes out???
:) - Timmmm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13I have a better method - upload porn torrents with a few seconds of goatse in them. Would certainly make me think twice!
- MrViklund, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14***** the porn industry? :)
- x00x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12The RIIA and MPAA's exuberance about its ability to wipe out BitTorrent by enlisting the porn industry is nothing but a wet dream.
- Cerebral, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11"Porn thank you for endless tugging at the end of my day."
Endless? Maybe you should have that looked at. - catfish182, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14I dugg this and will digg all yuor comments.
I was having a ***** day until i read all this.
Digg thank you for lifting my day.
Porn thank you for endless tugging at the end of my day. - realyst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11This will be epic....ally funny
I mean, I knew you didn't hafta be a smart cookie to shoot a porn scene and make a porn story, but these have got to be the most clueless and ignorant bastards this side of AOL.
Spamming DMCA notices via automated mailers? That's even MORE illegal. And to boot, sending fake takedowns(such as the one for fake child porn) is SO much more against the law. And lately, more and more attention is being drawn to that OTHER part of the DMCA that states that intentionally filing a false takedown notice is a federal offense. While this, unfortunately, has not been used too often, you can bet your ass some torrent site owners would sure like to give it a whirl.
The US Embassy in Sweden tried and failed. Their still trying. 500 000 emails or letters with these takedowns won't change anything.
DirectNic is a domain name registrar. Not an ISP. TPD hosts their own content. They could issue DirectNic a takedown notice, DirectNic will laugh at them and point them to the actual web host(TPB). If DirectNIC does take it down, TPB can easily get another domain and point it again. Simple. Then once DirectNic releases the name, rebuy it with another registrar. But DirectNic would be under no obligation, as they are -not hosting the content-. - creep303, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I smell internet elitism...how is that even ***** possible?
- soulknowledge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Don't challenge the porn industry for they shall pummel you with their large breasts and penises... and then sell it on DVD
- yaryarhumphump, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9isnt that the same thing..... lol
- Spamcan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9@CarzorStelatis
Well yeah, but you've got a much better case for defamation if they claim you downloaded "Anal Slut Party 7" rather then a Justin Timberlake CD. - yaryarhumphump, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10So if the the RIAA is already trying to say that its infringment to humm a song in public..... if the porn industry gets in on it does that mean any one that has sex will be violating copy rights by "performing" scenes from their movies?.....
this is scary.... lol - knuckles, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9This would never fly. Doesn't mean they can't try but I for one would simply stop using the web if I had to type in my SSN. Period. Now imagine millions like me doing this as well, NOW imagine how much LESS business companies are doing over the web. I guess the RIAA/MPAA/PrON will blame low sales on people like me since, well, if I'm NOT logged on the internet I MUST be stealing music!
The minute a government needs to track the whereabouts and dealings of all it's citizens "to keep them safe from " is just going to be the most depressing day ever. - chumpsucker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8And a large, well-paid, slick looking legal team can give a group, cause or an argument (court case) validity by virtue of the fact that they've invested so much in their courtroom appearance.
- tunapez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Do people even watch feature length porn anymore? Why suffer 2 hours of atrocious acting with even worse "acting" when hundreds(dare I say thousands?) of amateur vids under 5 minutes are uploaded every day?
These guys must be on more drugs than usual. - PunkHop, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8How the Porn Industry Plans to Wipe Out BitTorrent:
With tissues?
Maybe an old sock? - thespiff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8And then your roommate walk in and finds you jerking off to Goatse.
"it's not what it looks like! I mean...it's sorta what it looks like but not totally!" - realyst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Give the man his prize:)
- rivalius13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Not for long.
