If they had employees uploading content and what not, wouldn't that violate DMCA? And I would think that would be where the racketeering and criminal conspiracy to commit copyright infringement come in.

This calls for a celebration!
Hey and 3,000 too at the same time! What a great little gift! |
You guys are stupid if you think this is a good thing. It is not about piracy.

Looks like they got them because some MU files were being served off servers in the US. If they'd have served them all from overseas servers they'd still be sipping margs on a New Zealand beach somewhere.

Just one day after the Massive SOPA and PIPA Blackout.
Obviously this is not about piracy. Can't believe some people here can't see the real message. Come on, guys, you are smart and are internet professionals with years of experience. Think a bit about it. Don't look just 1 yard in front of you. Look further. |

According to the indictment Kim made 42M from it in 2011... which suggests they pin total revenue even higher than that amount. Figure how much tax money is being lost... and how much more tax revenue would be generated if the site didn't exist and copyright holders were monetizing their content. Piracy costs governments more money than it costs private companies and governments are very short on cash at the moment.
2012 may seem like the year of the M. In fact, it will be the year of the G as Governments start going after every dollar they can get their hands on... I suggest Gygtymer and Gailed... ;) |
guy was a criminal shitbag big surprise.

I guess this means no need for SOPA/PIPA? Current laws did their job? Imagine that.

Dang ...

1) Raise Revenue = higher taxes 2) Cut Spending = less services 3) Collect More Efficiently = Get Reelected The first two options have strong risks of getting them voted out by one side or the other. The third option has NO risk for elected officials. Nobody bitches when a tax cheat gets busted or off shore accounts get taken etc... I'd expect the government to collect a much higher percentage of the total potential revenue available to them in 2012-2013, rather than raise taxes or cut services too sharply. The Buffet rule is a good example of their attempt to do so, and even GWB was out in front on the issue closing off shore account loopholes. States already do it with increases in traffic tickets. Not new laws or new fines, just higher enforcement of the existing ones. There are laws on the books to deal with piracy... they aren't enforced with nearly the impact they could be. SOPA and PIPA aren't needed to go after pirates if the government makes it a priority... and the timing of these arrests is likely designed to make that point. :2 cents: |

I hear they are tough on crime in New Zealand. He might have to go to a jail for a few weeks where they only have HBO, not even showtime or cinemax.

I want to know why Kasseem Dean aka Swizz Beatz (CEO) is the ONLY person not mentioned?
