Default Re: DepositFiles Settles Multi Million Dollar Piracy Lawsuit

Think a little deeper to understand that the internet is a game changer.

The browser/internet can not operate without being one vast copying machine. To look at a website, you must necessarily take a copy as it exists. This includes any copyrighted images for you to see it. The law has not yet caught up with the new technology as it usually takes between years and a decade to do so. Despite the fact we all use the net regularly, we often do not consider just how new the internet really is.

The argument you make on theft I've made many times. Sites supporting infringement as fair use for personal activity also make it for the same reason. Even the New Zealand government took this approach to claim that Kim Dotcoms' data wasn't stolen by the US when a copy was shipped to the US. The physical drives are still in the possession of the New Zealand authorities so it could not be stolen. It shows governments attempting to come to the realization that their laws no longer work without sorely needed updating to reflect the internet usage.
