Guilty until proven innocent - what a joke.

The irish should be ashamed for letting this happen. I'd leave Eircom immediately and sign-up with another ISP, let them know your feelings by leaving in big numbers.

I thought bittorrent was making record labels increasingly redundant as it completely redefined music distribution and took control away from the record labels. Is there any point in still keeping the middle men? How are they making money? This is what What.cd says about the label: "Open Your Eyes Records is a company built by musicians, for musicians. It strives to make their artists everything they should be to the public and themselves, without taking a big piece of the cake. This is contrary to the philosophy of many of the current independent labels and all of the major label juggernauts because Open Your Eyes Record has a unique vision." I'd love to actually know how they're working this...

Even though we can watch it for free on tv, the only reason the industry doesn't like Bittorrent is because they don't have any control over the distribution system and can't rake in as much cash for spamming your head with adverts.

Its slooooooowly happening with music with numerous artists releasing their new material on file-sharing networks but I dont know if it will hit the mainstream with the current situation. If you could get the artists on side there would be no need for the money grabbing middle men in the first place.

Roze I agree 100% with u there, and it is a lot better hearing your thoughts rather than the gestapo this, and evil MAFIAA that. From what i've seen, Sweden has a brilliant attitude towards file-sharing in public and in parliament. Maybe im wrong, but the people there seem far less apathetic and more open and engaged in IP rights than elsewhere, i don't know why public awareness is more switched on there but perhaps we could learn something from them?

The people with power at the moment are the big businesses with big bucks. We've got no chance of changing anything at the moment because no-one is doing anything proactive to change the status quo. I honestly think BT is amazing but until someone gives a face (figuratively) to the "evil" "stealing" file-sharer then the general public perception of us, and the potential of bittorrent technology will always continue to be negative.

But as far as bailing out hollywood goes that is one of the most ridiculous ideas i've heard of in a long time. The industry still lags itself back with an outdated business model and pays its stars, producers and directors ridiculous figures of money. They don't deserve one penny. Theyve been ripping off the public for years with the same old crap. CGI and (insert "celebrity" here) doesn't make a good film. Try watching some indy cinema and you'll be surprised at just how good some of it really is.

Ideally what i would the MAFIAA to say is "If you can't beat them, join them" however, with the way things are at the moment that seems incredibly far off.
