Vulnerability Renders MPAA/RIAA Copyright Warnings Useless
,----[ Quote ]
| In a bid to educate pirates, copyright holders hire companies such as BayTSP
| to track down people who share their titles on P2P networks. The alleged
| infringers then receive a warning and are given the opportunity to resolve
| the issue. However, this system is vulnerable to abuse and therefore
| completely useless.

How long could you last without infringing a copyright?
,----[ Quote ]
| Nowadays we infringe copyrights numerous times throughout the day without
| even thinking about it. Watching an unauthorized SNL clip on YouTube. Playing
| the radio in the background at work where customers can hear. Loaning a copy
| of your Finding Nemo DVD to play at your kids’ daycare. Downloading clip art
| to use in a personal scrapbook. Scanning your own wedding photos. Forwarding
| a funny photograph to a friend. Loaning a co-worker some software. Etc.,
| etc., etc…

RIAA’s Hostile Takeover of the Internet
,----[ Quote ]
| Until recently, the recording industry were committing publicity suicide by
| routinely issuing legal threats to file sharers. Now, they seem to have
| changed the routine, going for fewer, but bigger targets. The goal is clear:
| if you own the Internet, you don’t have to worry about pirates — or anyone
| else.
