Anti-Piracy Group Calls in Debt Agency To Collect âFinesâ
,----[ Quote ]
| DigiProtect, the anti-piracy company that
| makes money from threatening alleged file-
| sharers with court unless they pay up a
| âfineâ, has a worrying new tactic. Hoping
| to scare letter recipients even more than
| they already do, the company is now sending
| more threats via a debt collection agency.

Spanish online community ablaze as government questions Internet rights â #manifiesto
,----[ Quote ]
| If that wasnât enough of a sign as to how
| much of an online movement this has become
| and the attention itâs getting, in the
| afternoon, after the failed meeting,
| President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero came
| out in a press conference to appease
| tensions, stating that âno website will be
| shut downâ, discrediting the Culture
| Minister.
|
| But it got bigger. Press coverage has been
| impressive. Last night at 8pm, an
| unofficial protestâa walkâwas called, in
| defense of our fundamental internet rights.
| As far as I know, people came out in
| protest in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville,
| Vigo, Bilbao, Palma, Malaga, Granada, La
| CoruÃa and Santiago de Compostela. And Iâm
| sure there are more. We mobilized for
| internet rights, without which we wouldnât
| have been able to mobilize in the first
| place. Whatever comes out of the commotion
| now, whatever final decisions are drawn
| (unlikely to happen quickly), this
| spectacular reaction is something to talk
| about.
