|  yes totally agree, I received notification from my isp that they received information that my connection was being used to share copyright material, and I was instructed to remove immediately or face legal proceedings from the copyright owner.
I stumbled onto a movie, had no idea what the movie was about and decided to download it and watch it. never got around to watching it.
I'm based in Australia, I suspect who ever monitored the download was from America. I've slit hairs over this with my partner regarding copyright laws, I didnt distribute anything I downloaded, the distributor of the movie released it to someone, how did it get on the net.
If someone wants to prosecute me, I have one question. If as a distributor you are so against a movie being made available on the internet, then don't ever distribute it unless it is to the cinemas direct. The movie I downloaded was from an original preview copy, the quality was fantastic yet the illegal act of making it available on the internet, came from their current procedures. Are they really that hard up for funds that they would allow their material to be placed on the net, just so scare tactic's can be placed on individuals like myself? |
