Bittorrent developer convicted : It's a shame

Filed in archive News by S.M. Schrama on October 27, 2006

Bittorrent is a peer to peer protocol I have never used in my life. Bittorrent is supposed to be very efficient in means of data transportation links

. For that reason, bittorrent is used a lot by people who want toexchange data, and unfortunately, a lot of people doing that are exchanging copyrighted material. Downloading music and movies, in plain words. And that's bad.

this morning I read about a bittorrent developer who has been convicted of "conspiracy to commit copyright infringement" and "criminal copyright infringement". Now I don't know what's going on, but that is just not right. This person has built a network, he did make anyone exchange copyrighted material at gunpoint. I think this has to stop. Let's just stop the hunt for copyright-violators. It will never be won. Copyrighted material is a thing of the past. Lower the prices of cd's, dvd's and such and everyone will buy official stuff.

Fight the power !

I recently posted a blog article that goes over this same topic. Blog')" rel="nofollow">http://www.digitaltv-weblog.com/50226711/bob_wright_urges_leaders_to_a ttack_piracy_and_counterfeiting.php">Blog article. Response from: Gary Bourgeault (bizofshowbiz.com) (10/30/06 5:39am) Lowering the prices is one answer, but also, having value added to the existing products has also been show to improve sales and price resistance. The CD, as it is, is dead, as one industry executive said recently. Response from: Servaas Schrama (10/30/06 9:58am) You're not saying that by every legal download, we're funding Bin Laden, are you ?! Response from: The Digital TV Weblog in other news, we learned that Bram Cohen heads a sleeper cell of Al Qaeda You may recall my posting about Bob Wright's 'war' on piracy, even going so far as to link it to the fight on terrorism.
