 Posted: Fri, 3rd Mar 2006 06:06 Post subject: Fucking MPAA Cocksuckers |
|
 |
As if I didn't have 106 other reasons to hate the MPAA ...
the other forum that I frequent on a recent basis just voluntarily/pre-emptively shut down because of an MPAA lawsuit that alleged copyright infringing was going on.
This was DVDRs.net I'm talking about. Really it was just an indexing site, but 2/3 of it was also a dvd/movie forum for just general bullshitting that helped pass the day at work ...
Also named in the lawsuit was binnews.com .. oddly newzbin.com was left out. This looks like the first lawsuit for USENET related file sharing...
| Quote: | DVDRs.net Next to Go
March 1, 2006
It was unusual for the MPAA to strike against Usenet (Newsgroup) indexing sites, as their importance has always been seen as minor compared to BitTorrent and eDonkey2000. Perhaps two years ago this notion would have been true; however two years might as well be two hundred years when we're discussing Internet technology.
Usenet has shifted from being a relatively obscure player to a significant content resource. The key reason for Usenet's advance into mainstream file-sharing is the growing ease in obtaining files from this medium.
Several years ago, Usenet was reserved for a more advanced crowd of Internet citizens. It took work to shuffle through individual Newsgroups (ie, alt.binaries.dvd, alt.binaries.dvdr, etc.) to find material. It was necessary to download hundreds, if not thousands of headers (similar to an email header.) The end user had to then select the relevant headers, download the associated messages, and assemble the archive. The archive is a group of compressed files, which when assembled yields the requested media file.
Unless you're familiar with Newsgroups, the above paragraph probably didn't make much sense. And that was enough to keep the mainstream audience at bay. PAR and NZB files changed all that.
PAR files, or Parity files, are considered God's gift to the Newsgroups. Their basic function is to reassemble an archive that may have several missing or damaged files. In the past, if an archive had just one file damaged, the entire download was lost. Par files mathematically calculate the missing binary code and reassemble (or repair) the damaged files.
The most important advancement to the Newsgroups was the advent of NZB (Newzbin) files. NZB files completely eliminate the confusing and deterring steps pointed out in the above paragraphs, and streamlines Newsgroup downloading. The NZB file tells the Usenet client in which Newsgroup the requested file archive is located and which headers to download. Simply put, NZB files allow even the most inept of individuals to point, click and download the file he or she desires.
Further facilitating the Newsgroups migration to simplicity are indexing sites such as DVDRs.net. Like BitTorrent or eDonkey2000 indexing sites, Newsgroup indexing sites act as a catalog for available files. Instead of hosting .torrent files or hash links, Newsgroup indexing sites index NZB files. Throw in a search engine, and its Newsgroups made easy.
Unfortunately for such indexers, the entertainment industry has caught on to this growing trend towards simplicity. Last week, the MPAA cited NZB-Zone.com, BinNews.com and DVDRs.net as the first Usenet indexing websites targeted in their online copyright war. Like ED2K-It.com, the complainants contend DVDRs.com is liable for inducing, contributory, and vicariously enabling copyright infringement.
"The blatant infringements made possible by using Defendants’ website are obvious – and are well-known to and encouraged by Defendants. Anyone who visits the website, including Defendants themselves, can immediately observe the site’s catalog of infringing files." |

Those fuckers. I can't stand how they use piracy as a scapegoat for the shit they make. I can't wait until movie studios get pissed and leave them.

That's not true at all really. It just means that sites like this are being stopped now. But its more to the fact that ISPs are including newsgroups with their services and premium accounts are easy to obtain. |

They are so retarded...they didnt figure it out yet that they cant win. Looking a few years back when Napster was THE sharing program, it got shutdown so a few more arise like Morpheus and Audio Galaxy, AG got shutdown so 5 more arise...thats how it works, more you close...more new ones see the day they are just wasting millions of dollars on a witch hunt

fine.
MPAA is not smart.

These fucking retards can't even grasp how usenet works. The think that these websites are actually hosting the movies/games/etc.
Also, shutting down indexing sites with US servers will do nothing to stop usenet from functioning. notice how they don't go after the providers (giganews, newshosting, ISPs)?
MPAA can't touch usenet. That wasn't the point of this bitching thread. I'm pissed that they managed to get the admin of a forum I like to shut down for a little while until they removed nzb files and references to usenet posts.
Your post had absolutely nothing to do with anything besides trying to get a reaction. well , I guess you succeeded .

Are you really that retarded, or is it all an act? I can't believe someone could be that stupid.
It's a non-profit trade association fool.

They are on the right track, targetting usenet/IRC is definently more effective than sueing random p2p users. Of course, if they fail to shut down these index sites, they will realize their error and go after the providers.

Usenet is easy to deal with since its contents are stored on central servers. |

All the nsps should form an alliance in case this does happen but the mpaa typically doesnt go for targets that may have the finacial resources for court cases.

Indeed ... chickenshit bastards only go after joe-blow running a site in his spare time.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that these NSPs are registered US businesses paying taxes ...

The people the MPAA are supposidly working for are rich, thats why they are richer then him. Unless their funding isnt funded with real money but funny money.

They were rich well before the MPAA even began targeting internet piracy, the two issues are completely unrelated.

Yes, and the aforementioned Joe Blow is an insect compared to a reasonably-sized NSP. The day when I see a "please donate to our defense" PayPal link on GigaNews' front page is the day I will admit to being a closet console fanboy.
As for NSPs being insects compared to the MPAA, well, aside from the Federal Government, Bill Gates, and Hollywood boob surgeons, who isn't? The MPAA doesn't have the sack for a full-on court battle (fuck, they're too scared to go to court with KaZaa users, opting instead to extort petty sums of money from them.) If they did go to actual court over filesharing, they would have to hire Uwe Boll to make everything from a "Typing For Kids" movie on up to cover the costs, and still have a chance to get a judge who is neither an employee nor a complete retard, losing, and having their entire shitty campaign brought to a grinding halt, followed by cheering and, yes you guessed it, ass-pounding from the people they've extorted.
Their tactic revolves around telling people to "stop or else," and frankly up until this point I couldn't give a fuck. My only run-in with them has been an e-mail I got after leeching Jackass the Movie from BT years ago. And yes, I still want my 3.6KB back. Them going up to Newsgroups is stupid, but logical. The MPAA's sole job is following the idiots. If every moron in la-la land got access to a topsite tomorrow morning, guess who's next. Frankly, I couldn't give a fuck except Newsgroups is where most of my bandwidth goes, so with respect to the saying "don't shit where you sleep", yes I do officially give one fuck.
In other news, had Jack Valenti's proctologist not informed him that his neighbor's cousin's friend's kid's friend's babysitter come across an NZB file on www.KaZaa-Torrents-ED2K-othercrapfiles.com while looking for necro porn, and didn't know what it was until the guy from Don't Copy That Floppy made up a song for her, none of this would have happened. I, personally, would blame necro porn, but don't shit where you sleep and all that, so I blame the babysitter.
Considering the overwhelming consensus here that Jack Valenti, every moron wearing an MPAA nametag, the entire nation of France, and the babysitter, are donkey-raping shit-eaters, I'll leave it at that.
Note: I'm just kidding about the French. They surrender.
