In what appears to be an escalating incursion into a user’s digital privacy, a collective of film companies continue to implore the court to compel Reddit to surrender its users’ personal details. This move is part of an ongoing piracy liability case against Internet Service Providers. Reddit, however, steadfastly resists, staunchly defending its users’ rights to anonymous speech.
Movie studios: “This is definitely the most important thing we have to deal with right now”
Here’s the plan, gentleman. Where’s my cigar? Now listen up! We ain’t gonna be making another movie the whole rest of duh year, see? Fuck dem writers. Don’t even get me started on the talent! So here’s what we do. We get the moneys from this kid dat donloided one of our movies 12 years ago. It’s brilliant! Where’s Harvey?
Its a surprise to me that a reddit post or any kind of random text blurb can be used as an admission of anything. What if the guy simply says I made all that up for fun? There is no requirement for text written on the internet to be under oath. Edit: fixed spelling oauth -> oath ;)
Shit I didn’t know oauth means you got to tell the truth on the internet.
Wait until you see oauth2…
I admit pirating all what I need during the last 20 years… So what, they may want to jail me for that !?
B b b but… Think of the poor poor millionaires and billionaires :(
Oh I am thinking of them. Of robbing them, eating them.
ive pirated 99.99% of the movies ive seen come find me xD
Yep, I’ve pirated so much that my whole crew all refer to me as Captain Jack Sparrow. My MO is to fire a warning shot over the bow of every movie studio and if they don’t quickly capitulate, I’ll raise the Jolly Roger and take them by force. That’s the only true pirate’s modus operandi.
Oh yeah? Well one time I downloaded a car.
Damn, all I ever managed was to download some extra RAM.
