- albiniak, on 10/11/2007, -7/+631jack attacks the chinese embassy, serves one year.
man attacks fox's IP, faces 3 years in jail.
lesson? take your chances with the chinese. - jmonty1000, on 10/11/2007, -18/+321The summary above doesn't mention the videos were shared before they aired on TV. That is a big difference over sharing them afterwards.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -10/+237Damnit, Chloe!
- Mejogid, on 10/11/2007, -9/+196The way I see it, he cause (probably minimal) financial loss to a company, so he should be fined. There's no reason for him to go to jail - it's not like uploading a movie makes him a dangerous person - and keeping him there is using tax payers' $ to cater toe the whims of the MPAA cartell.
- zyl0x, on 10/11/2007, -19/+188@ hawk: Then stop sharing your retarded thoughts with us.
- BoneheadFarker, on 10/11/2007, -4/+132@jmonty1000
Even so...3 years of jail??? For posting a video? Copyright infringement might qualify for a fine, sure, but jailtime? What's next, throwing people in jail for an unpaid cable bill? - Scyth3, on 10/11/2007, -14/+135@Hawk2007
Apparently you do care since you went through the effort of posting. - killerofkiller, on 10/11/2007, -3/+116Dont make us come over there and spread Democracy! WE WILL DO IT!!!
- fuzzmeister, on 10/11/2007, -2/+87"So, what are you in for?"
"First degree assault and armed robbery. You?"
"Uh....." - TritonX, on 10/11/2007, -5/+70Is there such a place ?
- Nogger, on 10/11/2007, -3/+64Does he have any leverage to negotiate a Presidential pardon?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+63This stuff is best done from outside the reach of the US government. The guy's an idiot
- LocalDocal, on 10/11/2007, -11/+61@Hawk2007 (#7012586) said: "diggtards, not even you and your diggs are above the law.
What he did was beyond idiocy and he deserves whatever he gets."
Are you a dumbass? The man uploaded four episodes of some TV show and he deserves FOUR YEARS alongside murderers and rapists? Why don't I repeat that?
A man uploads four episodes of 24 onto an Internet website, which is illegal, so he deserves to go to a place where he will spend the next 1,460 days facing rape and possibly death due to the other men who are there because they kill and sexually assault others.
Have you ever heard of of a law against cruel and unusual punishment? I'm not too sure but I think it's written in some piece of paper somewhere in the United States. - bemenaker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+46Like that bill really fits the crime
@Hawk, how about punishment in line with the freakin crime. Three years for uploading a couple of TV shows, get a freaking grip on reality douchebag - dattaway, on 10/11/2007, -0/+43Moral of the story: rob a store. You'll be out in 3 months with government assistance to boot.
- TheUngod, on 10/11/2007, -11/+51Hawk, if idiocy meant you wind up in jail, we'd have way more problems with prison over-crowding then we do already. You and your giant ego would be taking up a good chunk of space in them.
- ahhell, on 10/11/2007, -1/+41Because the FBI has nothing better to do.
- joeleslie, on 10/11/2007, -4/+43"THERE IS NO TIME!"
- ACrazyGerman, on 10/11/2007, -14/+52This is what happens when you load ***** content to the Internet.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -8/+45@jon
u mean ur parents's basement.. - Typhoon2009, on 10/11/2007, -3/+39Reminds me of the scene in the Family Guy movie where Bryan is in heaven with Cobain and van Gogh and they're talking about how they died:
Cobain: "I couldn't stand the thought of my music selling out and losing meaning, so I shot myself"
Gogh: "I went insane and shot myself"
Brian: "Yeah I uhh... I went into the garbage can and ate some chocolate" - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+40Sorry, wrong thread. Please bury.
- DougPenn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+33Bin Laden didn't upload any episodes, they'd never find him.
- BoneheadFarker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+33@Hawk2007, bigcalhoun, etc
The problem isn't that there are worse copyright infringers out there, or that he's the worst media pirate in history...it's that you're justifying the government giving jailtime to someone for a clearly civil dispute by saying that he could be facing a worse sentence and should feel lucky. When the government steps into a civil disputes and start handing out jailtime to the one that can't provide campaign contributions, I start to feel very uneasy... - guise, on 10/11/2007, -2/+31"SONOFABITCH!"
- seether166, on 10/11/2007, -7/+35You've broken every law of grammar/spelling. Too bad YOU'RE not going to jail...
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+32the key word here is "threatened". he might get a fine :P
- Seidoger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26I'd rather see Paris Hilton in jail than him.
- mbradbury, on 10/11/2007, -1/+25No wonder the USA has so many people in jail. Jail is a place you send people to protect the rest of society from harm and it cost a lot of money to keep people there. There are a lots of ways to punish people that can actually help the rest of society may you guys should try some of them.
- DougPenn, on 10/11/2007, -0/+23Since they offloaded the whole "fight terrorism" thing, yeah they're kinda bored.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+24The show is on public ***** airwaves free of charge for whoever wants to watch it.
There are commercials to pay for the broadcast.
There is no goddamn crime here. - bluesdealer, on 10/11/2007, -5/+24"good that is what you get... you should of just bought off iTunes... cheap ass!"
I like the service that iTunes offers, but the videos aren't even DVD quality. If the videos were proper resolution and bitrate, that'd be one thing, but piracy is often the best choice for quality before the DVD box sets come out. - gr3yn3t, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21a plead for help on his myspace?
- Malhavoc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17A SIGNED presidential pardon... in writing... with a guarantee of safe transport to a country of choice.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20Except there is no real crime here since it's a TV show available for everyone to watch for free.
I know the laws are clearly black and white, which is why we have these problems today, but the context of the situation is... nothing was wrong.
While it's arguable that studios lose money from people uploading movies, tv networks don't lose money since the show was already broadcast over public airwaves. - morningmatters, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16Which is why you'd hire your own investigators, find the criminals, and then sue them like the RIAA has been doing.
FBI's job is to track down dangerous criminals and terrorists. This is a plain waste of resources. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16@ seidoger
I wouldn't want to see Paris Hilton in him either. - BoneheadFarker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16@divisiblebyzero
If I steal a truckload of DVDs from you, then I now have a truckload of DVDs and you are missing a truckload of DVDs. It doesn't matter what I do with the DVDs after I've *stolen* them. I've committed theft.
If I print my own truckload of DVDs, you still have your truckload of DVDs. You are legally able to sell your truckload of DVDs. It doesn't matter what I do with them after I've *copied* them. I've committed copyright infringement, and possibly unlawful distribution. I have not committed theft because you still have your truckload of DVDs to sell.
See the difference now? - NikoKun, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15why is the solution to everything wrong in this country jail time? We put more people in jail for small things, than anywhere else in the world... 50 years ago a war criminal would get 20 years... these days someone can get life in prison for growing the wrong plant... How the ***** does that make any sence?
Punishments should fit the crime, and I just don't think posting video online is worth anything more than a fine... - wisam, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13We are yet to see a case were a movie producer got bankrupt because of piracy.
- ryanmetcalf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12@jcm267
Where would that be?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition - ksponge, on 10/11/2007, -16/+28@Hawk2007 (#7012586)
YEAH HE'S EVIL! RAWR! - mickrussom, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Why shouldn't he be able to do what he did? I mean the US government has properly educated all the people, murder and rape and violent crime is zero, cancer is curable, the infant mortality rate is acceptably low, Louisiana is rebuilt , there are no homeless, the budget is balanced, interest rates are high enough where there isn't a huge housing bubble and a sub-prime lending crisis and massive inflation, and the trade deficits are gone and Iraq is stable.
OH WAIT.
None of that is done. My bad. I guess its very important the jack booted occupation government known as the federal and state governments of the USA are busy taking away guns, crushing our rights and spirits and catering to the military industrial complex and to the banks.
He should have known better. - Tabris, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13I don't get what's so popular about blocklists...Someone says one retarded or antagonistic thing and 4 people post WELCOME TO MY BLOCKLIST!!" I don't see any reason to block someone just because they say something annoying, short of spam, or why there's a proclamation of blockage whenever someone blocks a person.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16@ hawknoob
''oh btw, cheers to getting dugg down! like I care what faceless idiots think about me.''
Denial is recognition, it's obvious that your mental capacity is very low. Your trying to convince us that you don't care is proof that you care. Why else would you post it? Child. - bemenaker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12If you want OBL caught, you have to start a lobbying group in Washington called the "Citizens for the support of the arrest of OBL" Then you have too start giving out a minimum of $1000 donations to every member of congress and to the presidential election fund. Only then, once you have a well established lobbying group with a history of gratuitous handouts, well you be able to ask that the FBI hunt for OBL. If you up it too $2000, you can ask for the CIA's help. If you give a $1,000,000 donation to the president, he will even add special forces in the mix.
- Aliarse, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11@zyl0x (#7012650)
Instead of hoping he no longer posts, just make sure you never see his posts, by adding him to your block list. - gemadouble, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11A crazy german and a crazy brit is talking.
- spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10"Is there such a place ?"
We're certainly not out of reach of the US government, but currently it is 100% legal in Canada to trade television shows P2P! This probably doesn't extend to posting on a YouTube-like site, though. - SirBotchness, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Yea cause the guy profited from this, good job FBI. Oh by the way there was a terrorist attack planned while you were arresting this ENEMY OF THE STATE.
