Tom Dungheap is the lawyer behind the us copyright extortionist group that is responsible for the bulk of these lawsuits. He can be reached at tom@thomasdunlap.com in the event anyone would like to ream him. What is wrong with the whole scenario is the damages they are suing for. One movie is not worth more that 10 dollars but in the case of the movies in question, they are asking anywhere from 1500 to 150000 dollars. It's a scheme put out by Tommy to try and set himhomoself up for retirement. The sheer number of people lumped together in a single lawsuit should have had the thing thrown out from the start. 5000 IP addresses?? Thats crazy but then it may be, since we are in america, that the judge presiding is splitting the rewards.

@ Kim Leo

Yes, but it is like that for about 100 years, but then it was called 'the dream'. Quite ironic, isn't it?

While that's true Obama haven't done nearly enough, can you imagine Mccain? He used to be a "sane" republican he's sold out completely, the politicians in America don't leave much hope, one of the few I've seen that doesn't seem to sell out be it about Isreal(that remains to be seen however), coorporations or the teabaggers, is Alan Grayson. But yeah I'm starting to loose hope in America, it's turning into something quite horrible, everytime they try and help the people like healthcare, it's always given to the Coorporations, Make sure that banks don't fuck up the economy? Well no of course not. It's turning into a fascist country, feel I'm exaggerating? try and read about Fascism, I think like me you'll find it frightingly similar to what Fox News says every day and what the Right wing in america seems to ask for.

You still believe in Santa Clause.
Corporations rule America. Conservatives and Democrats are their just to make the ignorant think they have a democracy. Can't have a revolution if you think your vote still counts for something. How many times have you heard your friends say nothing seems to be changing after they get elected. Its time you really listened instead of ignoring the obvious.

New politicians, same old crap
