Type "the dark knight torrent" on google or "metallica discography torrent" on google and you should get the same thing... but you dont see any of these companies going after google... why? because google would stomp them into the ground, its just easier to go after the little guys.
"Swetorrents makes copyright protected films available which they don't have the right to disseminate on the internet. In some cases, the films haven't even been released yet," said Anti-Piracy Agency chair Björn Gregfelt to the TT news agency.
if this movies is not released yet i think its a personal problem and not torrent sites and stop looking for isps and internet face your personal problems among your staffs
I think more than four donkeys because Beatrice Ass certainly falls in this crowd... or does she fall in the "sell outs" or "corrupted" or "big contents wh0r e" crowd?
This one always stumps me...
ALL INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE FREE, in order for our civilization to advance at the fastest possible rate, which is what everyone should be striving for, not GREED, which is all this is. Have any production/distribution companies gone bankrupt? NO, if any had due to pirating it would be an ENORMOUS news story, but it has never happened, they are ALL making money.
Don't get me wrong, I do not agree with this law but that is why they are not going after Google though they have when it comes to You Tube!
All this will do is move us on to the next big file sharing thing, better encryption and so on. Personally I use a VPN for my own protection.
This comment is just a clarification, as I am also against this law!
Now that we have established that google is "hosting" the only argument is that google does not have a tracker.. but then the scumbags from the music and film industry have gone after a lot of sites that dont have a tracker...
Come on hosting and caching are patently not the same - as someone, who supposedly worked in 'IT' - you might display a little restraint and not torpedo yourself.
Your rabid tendencies are sinking your credibility around here.
The cache only holds a reference to the .torrent file, which is still hosted on the torrent site.
So, no google is not "hosting".
