Wow talk about lo-balling I’m surprised they aren’t trying to claim every single song game app movie or otherwise belongs to them and they have the sole right to prosecute every living creature in existence for alleged ‘copyright accessory’.

Well hopefully Sweden will stick to being the brightest of the bunch in this whole copyright fiasco and clam up those IFPI b-tards once and for all as these actions will not cause a single inkling of change to the dying models that they so desperately cling to.

I’m still wondering what happened to the potential court cases against what was it 7 different companies in Sweden doing black hat operations against TPB using Media Defender?

I Simply do not think anything will happen to them. This is the IFPI’s last stand…and they know it!

IFPI ? IFPI.. hmm.. Isn’t that the International Federation of Pirates Interests? XD

I don’t think much will happen out of this either. Don’t forget they are going after the people involved there hasn’t really been mention of taking down the site well not that i’ve seen anyway.

LOL! I never really thought of it that way before but yeah…I guess you could call the international record companies pirates for the tactics they employ in trying to sue everyone they can.

IFPI are the main reason music is so widespread. They set the 180.000 OiNK captives free which are now free to upload everywhere else… and most of them do.

So really the IFPI probably has some great way to promote filesharing even more by being involved in this lawsuit. They probably want to force the pirate bay to close so that hybrid filesharing well get more popular. This geting everything in one place isn’t good enough.

Q re music downloads: Is $15 a month too much for a subscription to a site like Napster? If they pass laws that severely restrict P2P force ISPs to become the police etc. what do you think will happen? Won’t people just join Napster? People were okay paying for monthly cable/satellite TV before P2P came along. Eventually the record labels will drop their “sue the college students” tactic and try something else and that something else will probably be a tax or license fee on every device that can record (probably doubling or tripling the cost of PCs mp3 players etc.) and every recordable medium.

I can’t see the current state of affairs lasting forever at some point either people will somehow scrape up enough balls to get the b.s. copyright laws changed or everyone will have Internet connections monitored 24/7 by Big Brother.
