Wouldn't matter in the rest of world what laws the USA has passed, and even if there is such a law those claiming to own the IP would first have to prove that they did own it and somehow I don't think A.Inc would be in a position to do so... :)


That law is being rushed through. If passed it allows MPAA/RIAA (maybe other orgs) to instantly remove a domain from the internet worldwide without a trial.

News about COICA
There are renewed efforts by senator Leahy to reintroduce the COICA bill this year, which will allow to censor on demand any website the entertainment industry of the United States dislike. Practices like this are common in countries like Iran or China, the difference here is that the site they choose to target will be censored in the whole world.

Not sure it is a false analogy.

The link is showing someone how and where to steal something. I'm thinking quite generically here as I'm personally affected by Copyright theft so my view might be a bit different to most people here.

Don't get me wrong, I think big content providers abuse the copyright laws for their own good... But I want to make it clear that stealing is still stealing regardless of the item being stolen.





I understand where you are coming from and in your case it is theft/loss of income but it can't be considered stealing if nothing has been sold actively for decades. If nobody wants to sell me a brand new Kickstart disk then there is ZERO loss of income and therefore NO THEFT has occurred.

The entire planet is fed up with scum lawyers defending companies hoarding IP with ZERO products for sale. It's the same crap with new Atari I guess too. It all started in the 90s with Nintendo shutting down the Commodore Internet Archive over a fucking tape image for Donkey Kong on C64. Pure SCUM.

Courts should ban copyright claims unless the item is actively sold. END OF ARGUMENT.

(and again do not mention that over priced cock Amiga forever @ me anyone, two scumbags do not make good)
