Default Re: MPAA: Piracy is NOT Theft After All !!!

The trick here is that banning the internet is the eventual outcome. One they don't want to actually take as it is viewed as the next great market place. A place that cuts expenses while giving access to the entire world in one package.

Only the internet is nothing without copying and pasting it's results in the browser. Without that function the internet doesn't work. The internet is one huge, giant, copy machine and it can't be different and work. Anytime you go to a site, containing copyrighted photos or anything else, to even view an object for sale, such as artwork, the browser must take a snapshot and reproduce it locally on your computer.

In trying to justify the copy/paste function, Isohunt was demanded by the court to reproduce user and search records, even though they didn't maintain logs, because the functions passed through RAM memory temporarily, even though those functions had not been written as a program to do so specifically for that purpose. The passage through RAM according to the lawyers at the time, represented a copy, even if only for 1/10ᵗʰˢ of a second.

Something else came out of Dodd's speech. The idea that they screwed up when they called it Piracy. Not long after that Disney came out with all these Pirate movies starring Johnny Depp. So instead of getting negative connotations, they got pride in doing it and accepting the label by the population. To say it another way, it backfired.

*edit* As long as I am editing, let me show you a new study out. One that says leaks and early releases to file sharing sites, improves sales. (I know that Ladybbird is already up on this as it's one of the sites that is visited in reporting the news here.)

In essence the study claims that file sharing has a positive effect on sales, not a loss of income. It's a form of advertisement that costs the labels nothing. A fact they well know as the case of dajaz1.com with it's domain seizure by ICE turned out that the owner had email verification that the songs he put up were given to him by authorized agents of the music labels to generate hype over up coming albums being released by artists. It was being used by major labels as advertisement to sell new works by leaking songs ahead of the release date.
