Thanks for the Fix on that, 16th got it. I had always thought it was around the time of Richard the LionHeart, though That was in either the 10th or 11th... dont know why I got those two mixed up lol.
Okay I might have lied about the point of this thread... Discussing copyright was only a front.... lol
YOU DONT NEED TO KNOW THE REAL POINT LAWL
Copyrights are stupid in this day and age to be honest, Whats teh point in protecting an item thats digital, I call it competition when you have to compete for a certain item. Even if you did create the item, In the 14th century, The bible was copied into english, a lot of people hated this, but look how it has helped those who worship god to understand what they believe more, plus its harder to manipulate wihen everyone can read something. lol
I can see that, But still, I am just tired of idiots taking focus away from what really matters, to push congress to crucify anyone who downloads something... Is it really different then a Library? just as the article said.
All I know is that the minimum Sentence does not fit the crime.... Minimum of 10 years and 250,000$ fine, Hell why not just kill someone....
Its rediculous, and nothing is "Stolen" it is Copied, Its like hmm... gimme a sec in the real world this is hard to compare, Ok here we go, Its like PhotoCoping a book, Because each time you copy it gets a little bit worse, SO its not a perfect copy and quality is lost, They dont LOSE anything, they just dont gain... make sense? Its like People who buy monopoly, and a parent who makes a monopoly board out of paper... nothing is lost, but nothing is gained for the companies...
And people would go to the theaters if it wasnt 12$ a person, + 5$ for a small popcorn and another 4$ for a drink totaling 42$ for 2 people.... if you add in the extra crap. Thats rediculous.... and people can say its not but it is....
For the first statement I can see that, but for the second one, The thing is, They do sue thousands every year, just a few months ago a judge threw out 65 thousand cases because he thought the charges were stupid and not worth looking at, They are already in the politics.
What? right now they are sueing Individual people, and any sites that have any hints of a link.... thats a HUGE list. All I am saying is the list is much shorter for video players vs People, lol
Also they are sueing ISP's, and server hoster's such as Justhost.com, They at any given time have about 20k lawsuits going on... Now I believe that the industry is at its own fault for its loses, due to its own stupidity but still, I am just saying that if they had an IQ higher then 105 then they would have easily figured this out...
Oh and Eiviyn, do you ever contribute anything useful to any thread? all i see is trollin just saying. lol.
Well the point of this thread is to discuss copyrighting, and the extent that the holders go to for power, I noticed we have several forums entry's that pertain to copyright, but none that are exclusively about copyright.
Heres how I see it all...
Ill start careing when they up the security past the same shit thats been on it since 1995... that same DRM is still on every DVD, and nothing new... You know there wouldnt been many pirated movies if they would just up the protection so that every Below-average IQ person could do it I mean really Windows Media Player Cracks that... lol, We are paying tax money to protect these copyrights taht these people refuse to protect themselves, you wouldnt count on the police to protect you if you were a millionaire, so why count on them to protect your shit? and it is shit, all forms of entertainment besides a few special cases, have gone way downhill, where music, movies, and games pretty much just suck now. Or am I wrong, and just talking out of my ass?
They worrie about it but heres a better solution, Instead of sueing 100 million americans, why not sue the creators of the video players that play these files? Sue VLC, sue Microsoft, realplayer, quicktime, this is a much shorter list. and would drop piracy on its knees, if they sue'ed and forced them to add cinevia to their shit, but thats the problem Hollywood is too fucking stupid lol
