court rules that Telenor does not have to Block The Pirate Bay
 

Earlier this year, the IFPI gave Norwegian ISP Telenor an ultimatum ? block access to The Pirate Bay within days or get taken to court. Telenor refused, IFPI followed through with its threat and the case was heard earlier this month. The decision was announced today. IFPI lost the case and Telenor will not have to block The Pirate Bay.

Here, I will: Fuck off GideonGallery. Heh.

... but they ban and censor porn, Gideon.
Telenor only fight for their bandwidth money - not free speech. :2 cents:

Damn it... The damn thing just wouldn't die.

Like it or not, what they are doing isn't 100% illegal - people simply don't like it them, which is understandable.

Just like porn, which isn't 100% legal or liked, in every state/country. Actually only a few states that porn is actually legal to produce.

How much would it suck if people that didn't like us started to get us filtered at the ISP level?

Poor surfers, no choice.. looking at totally legal shit, they purchased, own, backup, whatever the reason is... and it's blocked. Something you know isn't totally illegal, immoral yes - but not illegal... and poof, your business is gone.

Is that what you guys support?

i suggest you reread the quote

rapidshare blogs 4life.

don't use logic with these guys, there is a double standard, when it affect their business it wrong to block access, but when it helps it the best thing that could happen.

i have been making this point for years none seem to get it.

Can something be 50% legal?

Yeah, because the legal lines aren't equal from country to country and they aren't located in America or just your Country.

In relation to your content, if they reply to your notices, then you have no legal power to do anything about them ripping our content, thus it's 100% legal.

And, if you allow a member to download your content they can legally put it on a torrent. Just like it's legal for me to download my fav tv show that already plays on the free air waves every day. (in HD mind you)

But that same action, may not be legal in other Countries, notice or not, thus they aren't 100% legal.

lol no you can't say it's 50% legal. Either it's legal.. or it's not. :)

Legal is like being pregnant, you are or you aren't.

heh, their their the easiest to pull.
