| It is reverse psychology!
If you don't wany people to do something, don't go BROADCASTING what you should and should not do. Look @ napster and the metallica debate! Napster died due to it, but planted the seeds of future p2p applications! Way to go MPAA! Sue away and see what happens!

Finding and busting people trading through Bit Torrent seems really easy for the MPAA to do. If these lawsuits are successful, it could be a good source of income for the MPAA. So, the more people trading movies, the bigger the potential source of income. They'll just keep suing people while publicly saying how they hope to negatively impact file sharing, but secretly they hope more people share to keep the money coming in.
This applies to the RIAA too.

**AA has proven that is the case for p2p.
They've also proven that, in their case, the opposite can be true as well.
Seriously though, they've got to think out of the box when it comes to marketing.
I still buy cds and dvds. The thing is, I buy only the good ones. |

Nope, the MPAA can't help but lose money on the lawsuits. They're suing people who are worth less in total than the MPAA pays their lawyers for the case. |

I don't think they are suing specific people jsut their IP addressed.
Thats why they wanted the ISP's to reveal identities.
IT would be interesting to see how they are going to collect money from a number. |

I recall that the MPAA and RIAA are supposedly required or volunteering to turn over the funds they collect to the author or owner of the copywrited materials (IF, and only IF, the copywrite owner applies to receive them.).
In theory these actions should not become a profit source for them, but instead for the copywrite owners. |

They can include their legal fees in the lawsuit. It's the same thing that DirecTV was doing against people pirating their signal with hacked cards.

Re: Any publicity
If it's not good, why bother ripping it? Why not just rent it, determine that it's no good, return it, and get on with your life?
Are you ever going to want to watch a bad movie again?

| Still , that was hysterical to see the panic among people when suprnova fell.
"It's the end of Bittorent !!! We are finished !!!!" they were saying.
The truth is that suprnova did not close because of the MPAA but still the people thought that because that site went down , that it was the end of bittorent.
Well , bittorent is still alive and VERY well my friends
To the MPAA : Your tactics are useless.You would be better off trying to find a way of making profit out of this instead of constantly whining about copyrights.YOU CANNOT STOP P2P no matter how hard you will try so you better shove that into your big corporate heads because THAT'S the reality !!!
Thank you and goodnight |

Re: It is reverse psychology!
I just think the mpaa & riaa are stupid for trying to fight the internet rather then embracing it. watch what happends if they decide to host/support a pay-to-download good internet movie system without time restrictions. their greed is coming back to bite them. |

I love it when morons hawk Pirating and wear their ignorance as a badge of honor. It just makes their prison sentence so much more rewarding. Ya gotta give the RIAA and MPAA a lot of credit for removing the SCUM from out streets. Hell anyone dumb enough to steal copyright protected works doesn't deserve to be on the street where they might hurt themselves. |
