Still, its good to see that the media giants are being hit. Especially the producers of SecuROM (albeit the Swedish branch)

Re: Bittorrent site files charges against media companies
The statement above was taken from a blog-like article on the site, and the users could make comments on it... 500 replies, didn't read through much of it, but this one was pretty good:
Actors, producers, directors, musicians, entertainment corporations...if they actually were losing money from torrents, maybe they'd be a little more economical with the money they have left and stop producing rehashes of the summer and holiday filler movies and the crappy bands that write formula money making music. Maybe we'd have more quality product coming out...the stuff that really can only be found in independent circles anymore. Maybe they'd stop trying to raise prices just to save their asses. Maybe they'd adapt to today's society and actually listen to their consumers. Me, I'll actually pay for anything that's fairly priced, isn't going to invade my privacy and is of high quality. Otherwise, it's just garbage anyway and the corps don't deserve to make a penny from garbage.
They think they can play by old rules and slam the people into submission, but they need to learn the new rules of economy if they want to survive. If they were really worried about money, they'd all take a paycut and move to Kentucky.

Having download those MediaDefender emails when they were first released, i can backup TPB's claims.
Good luck and god speed to TPB in fighting the corporate giants.

Just goes to show how ineffective current anti-piracy laws are considered to be by companies losing money due to illegal downloads.

Re: Bittorrent site files charges against media companies
If they actually are losing that much money, I can't really see how they can afford to pay Tom Cruise 20 million dollars for a movie...

No, I agree that they really need to work on where their finances go. But is that ever a good excuse to steal, that someone's got enough money anyway?

Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor is the best excuse ever.
Worked wonders for Robin Hood.
