| Useless Blocking access to specific websites does little to deter piracy as there are many others serving the same content and filters can be bypassed.
The BPI should focus their efforts on the individual pirates that share the content. With lawsuits, being disconnected by their ISPs, and making an example out of some people will help get the point across not to break copyright laws. |

Not true. I think the Joel Tenenbaum and Jamie Thomas-Rasset cases are more than enough evidence to support that this does as much to deter the online sharing of content as the death penalty does to deter crime. |

so true. The RIAA tried the scorched earth tactic, and all it did was give more publicity to those they were trying to crush, all while making the RIAA seem like douchbags in the process. No one that I talk to agrees with the Thomas-Rasset decision and amount, since those songs could easily been had for about $1.00 each, and for that, they cannot really prove how many times they were downloaded either, so its just a number the RIAA pulled out of their ass and hoped it stuck. Also, they will never get a penny out of either tenenbaum or rasset because they are both poor, and once they file bankruptcy, the judgement is amount matters not. Seriously, all the RIAA did is make itself more enemies. |
