so he was getting threats (for the last 2 years) his companies email was hacked (8 months a go)and he quits now after his court case goes tits up

and it because those past threats and has nothing to do with the bitch slap he just got from the judge

if you believe that, i have some prime Real estate in florida to sell you.

Hahahaha! Brilliant. I think you do actually believe him too.

So, he hasn't stopped because:

a) the judge was about the throw out the case, as stated
b) he is facing a bar hearing in March
c) he stupidly let someone download all this company emails where it is PERFECTLY CLEAR he has no interest in stopping piracy, just making bank via blackmail
d) run out of markets prepared to work with blackmailers. Over the last 5/6 years he has tried movies, games, software and finally porn. No one else is left

Bless you!

Thanks for starting my day with a laugh!

The lawyers suing blackmailing IP addresses. Try and keep up. I can draw a picture if you are struggling.

Hilarious. I love your little hard on for the fact I work with them. Get some new material, man.

Well done you! Have a gold star.

Although, I am not sure I understand your post. This thread is about acs:law and how they have given up sending out blackmail letters. It's not about your organisation. In fact, no one mentioned your company, what they do, how they do it or anything at all.

Maybe it's just sig spam?

However, I am very pleased you felt compelled to wave your hard on for me in this thread too. I was missing your - as always - invaluable input.

How many uploaders have you taken to court?

claim to fame in life: leader of the internet punks who think everything should be free.

place in society, either: broke and can't afford to buy content (movies, songs, porn), socialist, jealous of rich people, liberal entitlement attitude, out cast anti social kid looking for sense of purpose.... so which of the those (if not all of them) apply to you?

Would love to see what all of you little sissies do for a living, i bet 99% of you are hypocrites and if you were working for free or people were stealing what ever it is you do you would be pissed.

my money is that you are broke and you like the attention, even though you are not liked it makes you feel important to be knowledgeable on the topic and to try to piss everyone off. At least everyone knows your name now, as without all of this content theft stuff you would be 100% irrelevant and invisible.

So you think you can run their business better than they do. Run it from your one bedroom rented dump. :1orglaugh

More good news for those chasing pirates.

http://www.ynot.com/content.php?r=116492

Now that's what is called marketing. Just in case you didn't recognise it.

No really, Paul, if they want to stop piracy, why do you think they are going after downloaders not the site rip warez groups and uploaders?

For once, I am deadly serious with you. Why would you do that, unless all you were doing was legal blackmail with absolutely no intention whatsoever of ever litigating, of course.

It's not about me claiming I could run their business better, I wouldn't ever work in the ambulance chasing legal blackmail market as I think it is unethical. What I am asking, is, if this is really about stopping piracy, why don't these groups actually try and stop piracy, rather than just legal blackmail?

(Clue - they don't care about piracy, they care about making bank, but you and I both know that. I would love you to try and think of an excuse for them though).

See if you can answer that without name calling or trying to insult me. I dare you!

PS We both know that Paris thing is also just about money, not piracy. I know you're not that stupid.

Here's another thought, Paul.

We can all agree the MPAA and RIAA can afford much better lawyers than the porn companies that are giving copyright troll lawyers 60-70% of the cash they legally extort for them, right?

OK.

Now, the MPAA and RIAA tried this legal blackmail approach for many, many years.

They have both now stopped the practise, admitting that it has had no impact on copyright infringement whatsoever and cost them a fortune.

Why do you think they have done that if it does work and does stop piracy, as you appear to be claiming?

Are you saying you are smarter than the combined legal might of the MPAA and RIAA?

Another great post from Saint Damian.

Seriously you suck at business, give up and go find a decent job you can do.

Here's a clue.

http://www.mygtv.net/wp-content/uplo...7/dsc07479.JPG

Business is all about making money. Torrent Freak and all the other piracy sites are all about making money. The porn industry is losing money to these pirates and getting some back the easiest way possible is the best business route.

Another clue.

http://brandconfucian.com/wp-content...1363566672.jpg

"Would you like to super size that sir?

It's OK Paul, you could just say:

I cannot argue against your simple point, so I am going to insult you instead.

Bless you, you funny little chap.

We all know it's wrong, we all know it is immoral. But rather than defend their practises you just call me names, I am sure it makes you feel better.

I point out the immoral and unethical practises, point out others have tried this approach and given ip on it, and rather than defend sending a blackmail letter, you just try and insult me.

You are proving my point with every post you make.

You cannot argue against it. And that's fine with me.

Thanks for helping me demonstrate this.

PS The real money is in illegal arms dealing, I have a hook up with the Kashogis if you want to get into that now you are immoral.

You're definitely NOT smarter than a burger flipper. :1orglaugh

Are you saying the porn companies chasing pirates are losing money? :1orglaugh

http://www.punkrockcds.com/images/St...StupidDoes.jpg

No.

I am saying the MPAA and RIAA lost a lot of money doing the same legal blackmail scam over the last 5 years.

That is why I wrote that and not what you said I wrote.

As I've told you before, if you actually quote the point I make and then make a counter point, it's more interesting a discussion than when you deliberately pretend to ignore my points, and you just make shit up I didn't say to create a smokescreen. Your MO is transparent to me now.

So again, two things Paul

1) Why are these copyright trolls not going after the seeders/rippers/crackers/uploaders?
2) Why do you think you know better than the MPAA and RIAA?

But do feel free to pretend you've not read that and just call me a cock, say I am shit at my job, that I live in a rented flat etc etc

Helps show your 'side' has no reasonable counterpoint. Which makes me smile each time you do it.

:)

As wrong, as immoral, unethical and pirating other peoples hard work.

What would you do to profit from the immoral, unethical and pirating practices?

There are people who think you working in the porn industry is immoral, unethical and disgusting. You have the freedom to make your choices. Those going after the pirates also have the freedom to make their choices.

Are you saying they shouldn't have that freedom?

Your simple point was pointless. So why discuss it?

Seriously who gives a fuck about going on a costly crusade in business? It's business Damian, but I see you can't think like that. You being a Saint. :1orglaugh

Because their's more money in going after the downloaders.

Because they have learned from the mistakes of others. That's what business is all about.

Now please troll over to Torrent Freak and argue your point their about what's moral and ethical.

Cool, so you do actually get this is about just money, not piracy.

WE HAVE PROGRESS LADIES AND GENTS!

How is repeating something someone else has tried and has failed learning?

Surely if they were learning from the mistakes, they wouldn't repeat them.

Can you explain to me, if you have time, how repeating something that has been proven not to work is 'learning'?

Thanks for actually answering the questions, albeit in an odd way.

Oh I see. So, someone does something bad, and your defence in court about doing something bad as revenge is "they did it first"? (and when I say 'they' I mean 'the person who pays for the internet connection who may or may not have done anything bad at all, I just think they did, but have no actual proof').

I can't see that holding water legally, Paul.

Surely you can do better than "well he started it" to justify this legal blackmail?

Are you saying they shouldn't have that freedom?

Yes. I am saying that porn companies should not legally blackmail end users. I thought that was clear by now?

Why are you still here if it is so pointless?

Of course! 19 HD videos for 150 bucks!

The MPAA and RIAA did, because they stopped doing it. But I am sure Lightspeed knows better than them.

It's far from saintly to think that legal blackmail is a good idea. It's just basic humanity. Don't scare old ladies into paying up money for downloading gay nazi hardcore porn. That is a shit thing to do. Nothing to do with sainthood.

Right, like I'm going to waste my time searching through your posts. You have a negative comment towards people doing ANYTHING to fight piracy. Forget about blackmail emails or what's going on specifically in this thread.

I know it, you know it and everyone on this board knows it. Clown. :)

You couldn't find even one?

You could just say "OK Damian, you don't defend piracy, sorry about that baseless lie."

And I could then say "That's cool, Broseph" and fist bump you.

Or something.

xoxox

Damian, how did your meeting with your pal Fabian go?

You seem to be very chummy with him.

I think these posts say a lot.

Being shit. Is that what he thinks of the sites he consults to?

He even admits he posts to wind me up.

He left the board before I did. They got sick of him.

Damain, you need to learn, "The Internet is forever." :1orglaugh

As I said, don't need to prove anything. Everyone here knows your comments towards actions against piracy here. :thumbsup

I have him on "ignore" because he's useless...But damn it y'all keep quoting him. lol!

Just out of curiosity...what does damianj DO anyway? Other than his pornbeer cam blog. What is his skill set? What big success has he ever had? Am I missing something? Is damianj actually a force in this business who has made several million dollars with a huge successful website and I somehow missed it?

Yeah, we've been friends for about 6 years now. Did you have a point?

So you're quoting me from another board and talking about another board to make what point Paul? Really, break it down for me, I'm totally lost what this has to do with acs?

No you don't, but when you talk utter shite like lying about me being pro-piracy, when you are called on that lie it would make you look less academically challenged if you could actually prove your claim.

Otherwise it looks like I pwned you.

And you wouldn't want that, would you, love?

Don't you remember when you met me at Xbiz couple of years ago?

I do marketing, love. So I help companies make more money from advertising, branding, affiliates, B2B shows, boards, etc.

I specialise in email marketing, recently speaking on the subject at InterNEXT, with a packed house.

I've worked with the largest names in the industry and decide who and what projects I work on. Currently enjoying help easydate increase the click through rate on many many million emails they send every day to their dating portfolio, working with my longest client (over 3 years) on launching some new sites into 3wayscash.com and discussing all the jobs I got out of vegas?

What is it you do?

Oh yes, film your charming wife fucking strangers.

Well done.

Must be awfully hard.

Could somebody quote him so I can see what it is he does? I'm not interested in his snide remarks. Just in what it is that he does in this business (and I certainly hope it isn't "consulting"...which equals "nothing")

public service quote.

I hope people keep doing this, these free file sharing are killing hard working companies. For me greedy corporations can screw themselves I know how they treat their talent. But to steal from good companies that are doing the right thing is fed up.

Sony
Warner
Windows
Apple

I have no sympathy for them. They have screwed their customers and talent too many times.

Thanks Agent488.

And no damianj...I don't remember you. Sorry. And your attitude towards the many things that I do are of no concern to me. I was just wondering what it is you do. And now that you've told me, it would explain why I don't remember you. Carry on...

I think this shows how good Damian is.

www.pornbeer.com scroll down the page to see the state of his home. The funny thing is he kept shooting in this place until I goaded him enough. So he changed it, still not shooting from the home of a successful person.

He might list his talents and know a lot about the Internet. Hasn't brought him a lot.


Damian if I was a failure like you I wouldn't post videos from my living room. I'm too bright for that.

Yes he owns a site that uses other people content to make a profit. Are you to dumb to see the point? :Oh crap

So you posted things on that board you don't believe in. In other words lies. If that's true, whose to say you believe in what you post here?

To dumb to get that point?

Thanks man!

Coming from you, I really appreciate the kind words.

If he had done some magic tricks you would of remembered him. He's very entertaining doing them.

Elegant, entertaining, magical. :1orglaugh

Your troll game is weak today Markham.

Squirt some more cancer dinner into your belly and come back tomorrow when you aren't so addled.

Really, step you your game, son. We've all seen the 'you live in a hovel' bit several times. We've seen the 'you're a magician' bit.

Bring something NEW to the table.

Or I'll start threatening to post about why your make up artist was compelled to resign. And you don't want that, do you, old man?

Oh god, you've done the magic thing again as I was typing the above post.

Fuck me Paul, you have two things you think annoy me. One is I live in a rented flat, the second is I am a magician.

These things do not annoy me.

But you thinking they do really amuses me, so carry on.

Try using the Wayback machine to find my old magic sites!

http://web.archive.org/web/200601080...agician.co.uk/

Here's my old site from 2006! What fun!

Perhaps someday we can meet up and you can ask me that question direct? I can arrange it. :winkwink:

Nah, I didn't. Robbie was just begging me to arrange a shoot with my client at the time.

I wouldn't do magic on anyone with a jericurled mullet. It wouldn't be fair. To be honest, Pull My Finger would probably confuse him.

I'd love that. Because all I see is you repeatedly making really lame quasi-threats on the internet. I would love you the threaten me in real life. I bet you're awfully tough and shit.

I know it's frustrating when you lose an argument, but vaguely threatening violence is just the sign of a weak game. It's like admitting you've lost. It's OK if you haven't taken any site rippers/uploaders to court. No biggy. No need to act the big man.

You gonna be in PHX, we should grab a beer.

I can be in Phoenix. I don't drink though... never needed liquid courage. It's all about respect. You have none.. thus I will demonstrate.
