@whitenoise
Who knows these days. Proof is proof and all it would take is just a high-priced Canadian lawyer or legal team to get the ball rolling.

These bastards are getting sneakier and sneakier.

I think the downloading part would be entrapment but scanning your PC for copyrighted stuff if you make the mistake of grabbing their client would be a direct hit.

I doubt this will fly is challenged this could be easily considered entrapment. The article did not make clear if they are actually offering the videos for download or not. Just because they scan your computer and find file names and sized means exactly jack and shit.

Yeah I think the “entrapment” issue will be considered in court….which will be where this will head if they even try to sue someone.

WTF i thought they havnt been doing something like this the whole time because of being able to be sued for entrapment. hopefully this desperation will be their undoing.
