No link to LokiTorrent in the story!

Why? Afraid of the MPAA? No longer able to report the whole truth for fear of liability or just legal costs?

How can you even state that something being photoshopped automaticcaly make sit a Fraud. The only things done with PS, or even another graphics app are the blurring of the names and addresses of the associated parties.

So, by your logic, Scanned Letter+Blurring=FRAUD.

It's no secret that the MPAA is scared out of their mind from losing their billions of dollars a year. Well, maybe if people didn't have to sit through commercials, on TV AND NOW AT THE MOVIE THEATER, or pay upwards of $20.00 for a plastic disc with a case and a piece of paper around it, this wouldn't be happening.

You have to look at both sides of the fence here. Don't just assume. becuase when you assume (age-old addage) You make an ass out of u and me.

How is this stealing?
by Quaxanna February 10, 2005 1:31 PM PST
Downloading movie files is no more stealing that going into the store and taking a picture of some other picture. All we do is duplicate materials when we download. Has the Mona Lisa been stolen every time someone uses a picture of it? No! So why should copying something like this be any diferent? I mean, of course going into a store and picking up a hard copy of it and running out with it is stealing. Why is creating another one of it's kind a criminal offence? Look at software you can download. People have made software and they are find and dandy to download. Why should this be any diferent because of the money hungry movie industry?
