"While the major record labels were dragging file-sharers and BitTorrent sites to court for copyright infringement, they were themselves being sued by a conglomerate of artists for exactly the same offenses. Warner, Sony BMG, EMI and Universal face up to $60 billion in damages for pirating a massive 300,000 tracks."

rssdler works nicely, podget might be easier to install though since there are packages for distros like debian

nearly everything to automatically download & seed new releases from http://www.biotorrents.net/browse... is working, rssdler still has to be run manually though it is easy to do once per week or so

"As many as 25,000 BT and 5,000 customers of other ISPs will be receiving shock letters demanding big payments during the coming weeks. Lawyers in the UK have been granted more court orders which force ISPs to hand over the details of individuals who they say have been monitored sharing hardcore pornography."

"An even more striking thing, perhaps, emerges in this second graph, namely that revenues accrued by artists themselves have in fact risen over the past 5 years, despite the fall in record sales. (All the blue bars in the chart above represent revenues that go directly to artists. As you can see, the ‘blue total’ has risen noticeably.) This is mostly because of live revenues, but also because of the growing amount collected by the PRS on behalf of artists, which accounts for a much bigger chunk of industry revenues than most people realise. ... It’s interesting too that, overall, industry revenues have grown in the period - though admittedly not by much - which arguably adds strength to the notion that, when the BPI releases its annual report claiming how much ‘the music industry’ has suffered from the growth in illegal file-sharing, what it perhaps should be saying is how much the record labels have suffered."

City WiFi switched off over movie download | Film industry inconveniences hundreds over 1 DL ~ definitely overreaction - http://www.techradar.com/news...
"Internet surfers in a small Ohio city have had their municipal Wi-Fi switched off after Sony Pictures complained about it being used for just one illegal movie download. Residents of Coshocton in the northeastern US state had been using the free civic wireless net for five years without problem until a letter arrived at the ISP managing the service. One IP address In it, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) claimed it had traced an illegal P2P download of a Sony film to the single IP address all users of the network share. Consequently, the county IT department switched the Wi-Fi off, leading Coshocton commissioner Gary Fisher to say: "It's unfortunate that one person ruins it for those who use the service legitimately." Targeting piracy An MPAA spokesperson explained the action: "We target piracy at its source. We really focus on keeping the product out of the market in the first place." Coshocton is now investigating the network's user logs to see who nabbed the Sony flick, which could result in the offender facing a $150,000 (£90,000) fine."

Oh for fuck's sake. I can't believe they shut off access for everyone. That's stupid.

OK Piracy is Piracy. I'm not condoning it. But to get a $150K fine for downloading ONE film, sounds just a tad excessive. If it can be proven that this pirate then went on to distribute it to hundreds of others, but not for the act of downloading one item.

Definitely wrong way to send out the message & will just piss al lot of people off who will then DL even more.

"So what could possible strategies be: 1) Strengthen these new social practices and the autonomy of peer producing communities 2) Differentiate between those practices of the netarchical segment that enclose, and those that create more opportunity for sharing and commons based practices. Support the latter, fight the former. 3) Wherever we can, create independent infrastructures, based on open standards and protocols, that can be operated in a distributed fashion, not just for ICT but in every area of productive endeavour, to create alternatives that are commons-based, rather than requiring netarchically owned corporate platforms. 4) Create new economic formats that are maximally consistent with the new peer to peer ethics and social demands and support those entrepreneurial formats that overturn capitalist income-orientation to social-outcome orientation. These entrepreneurial forces are on our side! 5) Create alliances with the social forces of the decaying former economic system,...
