Sounds like they found themselves a real good, real stupid target.
Kudos to them! They need to go after more retards like that, scare
the kiddies into buying the shit like they ought to be. Pirating
ought not to be something so easy that any idiot with a computer can
do, it should be something complicated enough that your average Joe
Idiot won't want to do and would rather just pay for the convenience
of buying the shit in the store like he ought to.
After all, piracy just doesn't work if *EVERYBODY* is doing it. Piracy
is also *NOT* about sharing...that's called being a PUSSY...not a
pirate. Piracy is about *TAKING*, it's about leaching off someone's
bandwidth and then fuckin over all the other users by settin yer
upload at less than a 1K...yeah that's what I'm talkin about. Let the
lessers and retards do the seeding, let them get caught doing it, let
them go to jail because they're too damn stupid to figure out how to
get out of such charges, let *THEM* pay for *MY* free movie.
AAAARRRRR...cause I be a pirate! Red Beard The Data Pirate!

Making a copy of a movie is illegal. But uploading it to the internet should
also be illegal. It's fucked up his friend didn't get sent to jail as well.
If I was him I would dump that asshole friend.

this new technology to make films instantly available. Netflix is a good
start, but should be supplemented by more streaming and download sites.
Another way of going is a way I saw work in the ITVplayer. You stream the
movie for free, but have commercial breakes say every 15 or 20 minutes. Then
the streaming will be payed for just like on TV. And the movie can be seen
for free. I heard that youtube was going to do this, but I have not seen
anything like this there yet.

As a *TRUE* data pirate I fully support both the MPAA and the RIAA and

Simply put...pirating doesn't work if everybody is doing it. And
*REAL* data pirating is not about ~sharing~ like some fuckin circle

Compare the treatment Yates got, six months in prison, to that of
former Columbia Pictures CEO David Begelman. For embezzling $10,000
from Cliff Robertson, he ended up convicted and received a sentence of
community service. For his other thefts from clients and employers,
totaling in the the millions, no charges at all.
California is broke now because of the tens of billions of dollars it
overspent on prisons (and $100,000 a year prison guard salaries), in
large part the end result of handing out long prison terms to non-
violent "three strikes" offenders. The prison sentence Yates got in
Federal court was for publicity purposes only. The Feds are even more
broke than California is but, as many people say, the Feds can print
money to make up the cash shortfall.
Nameless taxpayers footed the bill for Yates' prosecution (the cost
for the federal judge in this case alone, including salaries for the
judge and support staff and fancy office space is at least $750,000 a
year) and Yates' incarceration. All for a crummy movie no one wanted
to watch. What a bad joke, in part courtesy of Mike Myers.

Yeah, there's tons of it. LOL Seriously, anyone whose looked really

I'm a realist, people are, for the most part, genuinely fucking
stupid...but if you've ever read some of those court
transcripts...yeah...nobody is *THAT* stupid...well, maybe you are.
And there's only one thing that would motivate anyone to *WANT* to act
that fucking stupid in a court room...a pay off. It's simple
logic...maybe not simple enough for a simpleton like yourself though,
eh? Should I try and dumb it on down to your level? I can break on

Could you do that for me please? I never learned how to read, so a crayon
drawing would be helpful. I mean, considering all of your hubris it
really does sound like you just made the kick-back part up, and based on
that, most likely the rest as well, so a drawing that I could more easily
digest would clear up any misunderstandings on my part.

Here's a very salient bit omitted from your post:
"He had reportedly come into possession of the video from family
members of Jack Yates,
>>>an employee at Los Angeles Duplication & Broadcasting<<<
Yates, who played no part in uploading the video onto the Internet,
nevertheless was sentenced to six months in federal prison. In
reporting on Wynhausen's plea deal, the Hollywood Reporter commented
today (Thursday): "The whole affair could serve as a cautionary tale
to folks who abuse their
>>>access to unreleased films<<< (end quote)
Yates was the target. LA Duplication and Broadcasting makes short run
pre-release DVD screeners for reviewers who are too lazy to go out to
the theatre.
THAT is where the high quality bootlegs that show up in Hong Kong and
Moscow the day after a film opens come from. THAT is where the real
pirates get their goods.
Bribe a duplication house employee to burn you off a pre-release copy
of Avatar and you can sell a copy of that copy to the Taiwan syndicate
for 5 figures - then sell another copy to the UAE syndicate for even
more.
Yates was stupid enough to do it FOR FREE. The other guy was just
collateral damage - one the MPAA was happy to nail as lagniappe.
Onideus Mad Hatter
In your particular case...I think a hefty boot straight up yer ass
might do you a bit more good than a crayon drawing. It's not going to
make you any less retarded or anything, I mean, as they say, you just
can't "fix" stupid, but it'll sure make me feel a whole lot better!
