Fuck me sideways, are you being intentionally stupid or just trolling?
Please quote me saying anything that even RESEMBLES that.
Why do you struggle separating thinking that blackmailing innocent people is bad from piracy is good?

They are not going after innocent people, they are going after people who they suspect have illegally downloaded copyrighted material, otherwise they would not be going after said people. Not all of the people they go after are guilty however, and this happens all the time in the criminal justice system. Some innocent people get caught up in it all and you must learn to accept this as reality. And yes i am quite aware one is innocent until proven guilty (but not really) but this is the way cases are made.

Once again, let me stress that I think piracy is bad. Of course it is, everyone apart from gideonmentalcase thinks that.

That's good...i think. But considering your orwellian sense of reality one must pause to wonder.

If someone can *prove* that someone downloaded a copyrighted work, then I am all for suing the fuckery out of them. Sadly, I've not seen any actual PROOF. An IP address is as far removed from proof as a picture of a cheeseburger is.

I don't think an IP address is proof of guilt either, but i do think it is PROBABLE CAUSE to attempt to make a case and search for further evidence. This happens all of the time, its part of most legal systems. You get a little evidence and you move forward with a case to gather more evidence.

Damn right. It can install fear into decent credit card owning porn buyers thinking that 'we' are fucking outrageous cunts for threatening to blackmail people over porn. A teacher might think that he best not actually BUY membership to a porn site in case they decide to go public with the lists, much easier to just watch a tube, right!

Okay, step away from the pipe. How can you possibly cross-connect these two scenarios? hahaha i am laughing out loud here, i mean WTF?
In the first place everyone sues everyone else, have you not recieved that memo?
You actually think people are going to look at lawsuits from not only porn producers but major film producers (ie Hurt Locker case) and say "Damn them those evil porn mongers and movie producers, they've attacked enough innocent people. That's it, I'm never buying porn or seeing a movie again!"
Man they're too busy suing their neighbor over accidently pouring some fertilizer on their side of the lawn!
Really that one was pretty weak...
