I support the guy! He’s made quite a site. I know making a tvshow is hard work but the money they earn whether theres a site like this or not is just more than enough.

Follow up, http://torrentfreak.com/canadian-bittorrent-user-fined-60000-by-u-s-court-110615/
Is the link, in Canada the law states that it is legal to share files BUT not be the UPLOADER of them therefore he does not violate any laws in Canada, but he violates the US laws where he does NOT live. LMFAO Where is the sense in this? Mods if you wouldn’t mind merging my two posts together please if you can

Don’t forget the guy from Canada being “sued” by the US for … shit I can’t remember now.. Well anyway what he was doing was NOT illegal from where he was but it was in the US so now he is being sued for that.. Makes soo much sense now doesn’t it? (note the HEAVY sarcasm)
If I find a link to what I was talking about I’ll post it under this.

Wake up people. The US is becoming a proto-fascist state. Also where exactly does US jurisdiction end..cultural imperialism much?

This is the ugly face of globalisation, welcome to the global plantation, global laws for global slaves.

As for the farce of IP (intellectual Property) laws. There was no art or music prior to IP Laws?. Authors need to benefit from some of their creations, but authors life +70 years! lol, how many authors are benefiting from their IP 70 years after they are dead? it’s for the benefit of corporations to create *artificial scarcity* and **monopoly in perpetuity**.

If you want to see how over zealous IP laws stunt prosperity and growth, check out how Bolton and Watt blocked progress on early industrial era steam engines for about 40 years…..

You’re probably reading this using a *web browser*. Now how about if that had been patented, so you gotta pay fees for its use (aka Bolton and Watt), imagine how “fast” browser use would spread? This website is probably hosted on an Open Source Linux server too. IP laws are totally out of control, if you think its about anything other than enforcing monopoly and artificial scarcity you’re very naive.

If this is what our “special relationship” amounts to then they can stick the relationship where the sun don’t shine.

If our UK government doesn’t extradite him, USA will probably fire up the playstation and play ‘predator drones’ until they get him.

Land of the free? More like land of the ‘Police State’.

I mean, no-one wrote anything, made any art or invented new things ever before they were first created in the 15th century to control the flow of heretical and seditious printing.

for the poor i see cuba as giving all three…life, liberty and property…probably exceedingly more than they would have gotten out of the sugar plantation owners…

certainly more than corporate interests give in america…

greed is self serving always. not free.
