MPAA held to a different standard

I, and everyone else, should hold the MPAA and RIAA to higher standards- they aren't allowed the "accident" excuse other people get to play. If you're shouting about people violating your copyrights, you had best make sure your own affairs are in order, and if you are unlucky enough to run afoul, you had best fix it ASAP.

Big deal

So if it comes to blows they can just chuck out the source code. Without defending MPAA let's not degenerate to their level - There is a difference between stealing and not complying, you know. Then again who cares on this site as long as you can write some slander...

MPAA

To be fair I think they should be allowed to pay 10% of the total sum upfront in cash. As an out of court settlment.

Oh and a LETTER OF APOLOGY addressed to the public.

Call Them On It!!

Give them a taste of their own medicine. It's time that people fight back and not let them slide. By letting them slide, you're saying that it is ok for them to milk millions out of the world for what they call theft but they don't have to abide by the same rules and law. If you don't file suit, you are in essence agreeing that they above the law.

Sue the MPAA

So why does this guy not try to sue the MPAA for copyright infringement. I'm sure the Pirate Bay would financially aid him!
Just think of the press! He would be a legend and famous for years!

Serves them right

At this point i think we can prove without a doubt that the DRM loving monkeys of the world are not only hypocrites but their own worst enemies and they should have it thrown in their face like this. I'm just glad that musicians are starting to realize that they don't need the record companies and hopefully soon the movie companies will stop being so greedy or atleast realise that better movies mean more profits, not more and more DRM restrictions. I mean come on guys, i won't fault you for region coding as a price control method but HDCP? Seriously HDCP is probably the worst idea you've ever had cause all it does it piss off the uninformed when they are buying hardware only to get it home and realize they can't get full quality or worse yet that it won't work together at all.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
