Bittorrent site files charges against media companies

Careful. We were doing fine, until we started advocating theft as social justice.

Well, technically piracy is not theft. But I agree that artists should get paid for their work, and blatant piracy isn't the way to go.

I'm not sure about movies (they cost more to make and finance), but the old way of selling music needs to change. I'd be more than happy to see the artists themselves distributing their work and marketing themselves. With online digital distribution, this should be easy to do, and some bands are taking this step. Cutting out the middleman should have artists getting more of the profits. If a few music execs have to lose their jobs because of it, well, I don't really have a problem with that. There is no law stating that a company has to be profitable, if the series of tubes can make a business model obsolete, so be it.

Considering the extortion campaign currently being run by the RIAA here in the States, it's nice to see them getting nailed for their indiscretions elsewhere. Hopefully, the Swedish police/courts aren't bought out yet.

Not yet. Their attempts to change our constitution so far has been denied.
Hopefully our goverment will resist them.
