What is Digg?191 Comments
- inactive, on 12/19/2007, -4/+125They wanted the IP addresses of users.
What about the users who haven't actually downloaded or uploaded, just simply joined to be a member of the forum?
The MPAA needs to learn that it will be impossible to learn what the users have done. - demonsnake69, on 12/19/2007, -2/+112I'll bet that "destructing evidence" refers to destroying evidence. Why is it that CIA is allowed to destroy evidence without repercussions, but Torrentspy isn't?
- sockpuppets, on 12/19/2007, -1/+64I'm downloading an endangered turtle as we speak!
- merdiesel, on 12/19/2007, -3/+65This John Malcolm sounds like a real ***** douche bag.
- latrosicarius, on 12/19/2007, -1/+55Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
- leffunov, on 12/19/2007, -4/+55Torrentspy, I hope you will be like Obi-Wan Kenobi.
- silentphoenix, on 12/19/2007, -3/+48quite sad, but the fact that we have thousands of alternatives makes the case quite useless
- dtele, on 12/19/2007, -1/+42Interesting and valid point: "This is not the 1970s, where the basic underpinnings and mechanics of technologies were readily understandable by the layman, but require significant knowledge in the technologies involved. Perhaps it is time we had specific courts with jurists who are kept upto date on technological progress, so that justice can be sought, rather than judgments based on which side has the most lyrical attorney.”"
- sockpuppets, on 12/19/2007, -4/+42"In August, a federal judge ordered TorrentSpy to log all user data stored in RAM."
Um, there was a power outage? - skaspud, on 12/19/2007, -6/+44torrenting hurts the global economy and causes death of numberous innocents!
- Bazhenov, on 12/19/2007, -3/+35The ***** is "Destructing Evidence"?
- carterbaldwin, on 12/19/2007, -16/+46I feel safer already, now that there's one less shifty-eyed torrent-thug skulking about, trying to steal my music.
- Roryking, on 12/19/2007, -2/+27People who brag about using usenet are the same people who brag about owning a fleshlight, and should be ashamed of themselves.
- sockpuppets, on 12/19/2007, -2/+27Engrish.
- omghax, on 12/19/2007, -8/+30*sigh*
- ben_nushmut, on 12/19/2007, -1/+23Thank you! I was starting to worry about the geek cred on this thread!!
- Motodog, on 12/19/2007, -0/+21Because the CIA is above the law, duh.
- inactive, on 12/19/2007, -3/+22I am glad that torrent spy wont give them *****. I love how the courts just bend over and take it in the ass from the mpaa & riaa
- ninjajaja, on 12/19/2007, -1/+20"and to ensure the privacy of their users"
You gotta admit it's hard finding that anywhere nowadays - Abominous, on 12/19/2007, -0/+19The war is not over.
- houndeyex, on 12/19/2007, -1/+19Well mine says 127.0.0.1? Is something wrong?!?! WILL MY INTERNET SLOW DOWN?!?!!!11!eleven
- Dokument, on 12/19/2007, -1/+18Just post your ip on here and ill check for you.
- D3koy, on 12/19/2007, -0/+16Add him to the list...
- venom8599, on 12/19/2007, -2/+18This is Digg. As soon as I didn't put the /sarcasm tag, some retard would say "192.168.x.x ADDRESSES ARE RESERVED FOR LOCAL USE DUMBASS."
- dicklogan, on 12/19/2007, -1/+16It's LEAVE, you idiot! "Make like Obi-Wan and leave." You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong!
- bobdigi, on 12/19/2007, -5/+20God, shut up.
- D3koy, on 12/19/2007, -5/+19What did they destory? A list of numbers, with litle to no significance? OH NOES!
- deose, on 12/19/2007, -3/+16What ever happened to sealand or whatever it was called. When will Piratebay buy it's own country so we can finally live in peace.
- venom8599, on 12/19/2007, -1/+14They weren't proven guilty. The judge ordered them to log their RAM, which is next to impossible, and they couldn't comply with that and other things, so the case was "terminated". Think of it like a default judgment based on their "destroying evidence."
- rebelphoenix, on 12/19/2007, -4/+16when will the MPAA learn that they are fighting a loosing battle?
- Dustmuffins, on 12/19/2007, -3/+14What are ads?
- Aensland, on 12/19/2007, -4/+15Uh, some people just join random forums because we have a tangential interest in the subject matter. And many of these forums have a 'general chat' and 'offtopic' area.
Generalizations != proof. - houndeyex, on 12/19/2007, -7/+17The judges really don't know the lingo. (When they should have to learn) They just try to make decent decisions off what the lawyers say. "RAM" and "IP Address" means "technology hoobeldygoobeldy" to them. Clearly it's all too new-fangled for them.
- Xizer, on 12/19/2007, -3/+12Why are people digging this guy down? I thought the comment was funny.
- strictnein, on 12/19/2007, -0/+9If a judge ordered you to log every molecule of air that you breath in order to prove that you aren't smoking pot, would you think this a reasonable request, or that the judge is an idiot?
- ThreeDee912, on 12/19/2007, -1/+10Whatever happened to that $200,000+ that people donated in order to buy Sealand?
- sockpuppets, on 12/19/2007, -7/+15Just because you work the cutout bin doesn't mean the music in it is "yours."
- zerhynn, on 12/19/2007, -8/+16numberous!
- inactive, on 12/19/2007, -0/+8What are you talking about - they can log if you downloaded the torrent file rather than just browsed the site you know.
- captaindh00m, on 12/19/2007, -1/+9when I see things like this it makes me want to start pirating and defecating on anything they "protect"
- tech42er, on 12/19/2007, -2/+10I think he was being sarcastic.
- houndeyex, on 12/19/2007, -1/+9You didn't get it.
- chsbrgr, on 12/19/2007, -1/+9hey get off my computar!
- N3M3515, on 12/19/2007, -1/+8To be fair they are just interpreting the law, they don't make the laws they just have to hand down sentences. The people that have made our great laws like DMCA probably never would have done so if they were not being lobbied and given vast amounts of money. So if you are really looking to point fingers point them at the RIAA, the MPAA, record companies, and the like. Look at foreign countries that dont arent producing much in copy rightable material, they more than likely don't give 2 ***** about creating laws punishing copy right infringers.
- venom8599, on 12/19/2007, -7/+14No, but it may mean that you're ignorant of newer technologies.
- venom8599, on 12/19/2007, -0/+7They log data from ongoing activities that reside in RAM, but they do not log every single bit of data that resides in RAM, which is what they were ordered to log, IIRC.
- venom8599, on 12/19/2007, -0/+7*wonders why the Hell that redirects to the First Season of the List of Scrubs Episodes.*
- andycr512, on 12/19/2007, -8/+15Any time I hear about a site being ordered to log all data in RAM, I have to ask, "Is the government going to pay for the insane amount of hard drives needed to do that?" It's an insane amount of data.
- darkphenox, on 12/19/2007, -1/+8Ok try logging everything that goes through your ram in a day and see how much data get recorded.
- sockpuppets, on 12/19/2007, -3/+10...and get the droid out of here?
I guess I'm not very good at this. -
