7 Bit Torrent "Embarrassment" Suits Target 5,469

http://www.xbiz.com/news/125713



West Coast Productions, in their suits, named 2,010 John Does who allegedly shared "Bomb Ass White Booty 14" and 535 for "Juicy White Anal Booty 4."

Meanwhile, Combat Zone filed a claim against 1,037 users who downloaded and distributed "Teen Babysitters" and 245 for "Relax He's My Stepdad 2."

Third World Media sued 1,243 for those who shared "Tokyo Teens."

It sucks when they distribute long videos for free.
These videos should be paid for.

Steve,
Your sig dance with Jordan should become the "piracy victory dance." Like when a football teams scores, they do a dance in the inzone. That's the new dance.

Cheap fucks caught pants down downloading those titles from torrent sites will be quite... embarrassed indeed Bomb Ass Booty, do Jesus It will be quite embarrasing trying to explain to a judge (and to their wives too) how they were going to download a Linux distro from their favorite torrent site (all thieves love pointing to Linux distros to explain why do they need torrents), but ended up downloading pirated copy of Bomb Ass Booty

I'd settle

Very glad to see this going down... and after the torrents are cooled a bit, next up we need to saturate the Internet with tube sites. Why? Because 1) they're not going anywhere, 2) surfers know about them anyway, and 3) if we put legal tube sites up all over the place, maybe we can distribute the adult Internet traffic more widely instead of just a couple companies and their buddies controlling a HUGE and MASSIVE slice of the adult traffic online.

The media is really buying into the embarassment factor which definitely gets the message out to users to evaluate the risk. Of course now they seem to completely gloss over the part about the right to actually protect one's intellectual property:

what I also find interesting is that we at Pink Visual have not engaged in end user litigation, but claim we are rallying others to do likewise. End user litigation is purely a business decision for each company to determine if it's right for them or not in my opinion not something the whole industry will agree on.

One of the companies who is suing, Third World Media, distributes my Asian tranny movies. Titles like.... Double Stuffed Asian Transsexials, Teen Ladyboys, Gender Blender, Asian Transsexual Spunk, Little Asian Transsexuals, and so on.

I'm sure if they have success with this round, they will hammer people who steal any of the titles, Hetro, Gay and Tranny. Gonna be real interesting to see how this all pans out with multiple companies starting to sue the down-loaders.

I look at it like this, it will not stop piracy. However, they are going to pay for the content they are watching, one way or another.

i dont understand how this works. So you can track who downloaded the torrent, get their name and address, and sue them? How do you get their name and address, isnt there some privacy law?
For instance when someone outside US dowloads a movie, how can the sueing party from the US possibly get his/her name and address? People cant go around and look everyone up because of privacy laws was my understanding.

They file a "John Doe" lawsuit then get the internet provider to turn over the person's contact details based on the IP address. I believe they only go after people in the US.

if you're calling adaption a single mom taking food off her table because her son downloaded one of steve's archaic clips then whatever man.

it is fucking sad as the people behind this have ancient content, sites and business models and they are giving porn peddlers an even worse name for being creepy blackmailing cunts.

sales aren't going to go up. is steve's top affiliate going to make 200 per period instead if 180? big deal.

the bad blood and karma this is going to generate is going to hurt mine and your sales as people are just going to intentionally pirate porn as a giant gfy to the industry.

uh, its not just about steve. that should be obvious. i think its pretty funny that you are worried about hurting the feeling of those who are already stealing content. they weren't buying in the first place so who cares? i really don't expect this to change anything except put the scare in some people that if they download a torrent, they could be sued.

so it is based off IP

what happens when Priest Whatever-the-fuck shoots himself because someone looked at 'tranny stuffers' on an ip that may or may not have actually been him

and why are the major companies 'surprised' how much traction the 'embarrassment' factor is getting?

i know, lets see if we can start connecting this stuff to the government, and STRONG arm them into a bailout

no?

I agree. Is it really worth the time or risk to deal with torrents? Spending $1 to $5 to get something quickly and easily from Itunes works for me.

Exactly.

And I mean c'mon... it all boils down to this: It's someone else's work. PAY FOR IT. You've got a whole generation of people that have come to expect everything for free, right here, right now. This huge and growing group of people needs to change the way they think... the lawsuits and press are a good start.

Hopefully this rash of lawsuits will slowly and surely educate and re-educate people on the old adage "there is no such thing as a free lunch".

True. It's worked really well for the MPAA and RIAA.

Oh, hang on a minute...
