23,000 bittorrent users to be sued for downloading "Expendables"

[lotusfreek]

My IP address in on there. LULZ. Never downloaded the movie. Have not had this ISP for more than a month. Not worried at all. Will troll them if I get a letter or something.

[Okaymate]

Lol at people who use torrents. If you really want to download a movie there are plenty of forms that post movies on rapidshare

Anyone who doesn't just download from a site like Megaupload, Rapidshare, Mediafire, Hotfile, Filesonic, 2shared, ... has gone full retard. Especially when Icefilms has 151,107 active links, most of which are Megaupload where they don't limit download speed. Torrents on the other hand often have ****/unreliable download speed and require you to upload/maintain a ratio and worst of all anti-piracy companies monitor them.

[ScottishBrah]

Its serious this time. A judge has forced the ISP to hand over the ip addresses of the people involved. They give 2 options: pay $3,000 via online settlement or face maximum fine of $150,000

150k because some poor guy downloaded a fuking MOVIE???????????

Wtf???????????????????????????

[anonymous]

Downloading mainstream movies off the internet is the dumbest thing you can do, seriously.

[JoeKickAsre]

i really do get amazed how in 2011 people still cant figure out how to use google to literally find any answer for anything .

You're right, Google confirmed that you're a ******* just now.

[KingOfChaos]

I don't download shiit that isn't off iTunes...haven't for years. lol

[homerunrbi]

ITT we don't understand dynamic IPs...Just because your current IP is not on the list, does not mean you are in the clear.

If you think you're not tracked when you watch TV/Movies online you are a fool. Icefilms knows every user that visits their site. (inb4 VPN, Proxy etc)

Look at what happened to the guys who ran ninjavideo.net, they are facing serious jail time.

In order of security...

1. Private FTP sites
2. Usenet with SSL
3. Private Torrent Sites
4. RapidShare/Megaupload etc
5. Limewire, iMesh, other p2p garbage

Anyways, as was said, these people will likely walk after the recent, "An IP is not a person" ruling.

Ninjavideo was run by a bunch of retards that are associated with release groups and LIVE in the USA. They also used the stupid closed system Ninjavideo Helper which was the dumbest **** ever. Icefilms on the other hand isn't based in the USA, plus it uses a super easy script(which can be hosted on any site) and then supplies the links to videos. So in reality Icefilms is easily replaceable while Ninjavideo was not.

Even if Icefilms did give out the IP addresses of the visitors that doesn't prove anything. In conjunction with the Megaupload IP addresses it might prove intent but by that time every ISP will have wiped their data on who had what IP at what time since most don't have a data rentention policy of more than 30 days.

[Derstupid]

If some greedy jew tried to sue me for DLing a movie I would find out where they live and throw a brick throught their ****ing window. This extortion crap makes me rage.

[Budjola]

only American IP. I'm safe hehe

this

[crazynewzealander]

Lol very difficult case to argue in court. Issues of secure wireless networks, proof of IP, etc are raised.

Unless you live in NZ, where a law has just been past that would find the defendant GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT (all a company has to do is lodge a claim you were downloading their file and thats all the evidence needed)

Regardless, producers should not be so moronic- digital reproduction means an infinite supply of goods. Therefore, the price should be zero. Come at me rational economics.

[arn710]

I guess I'll start using my neighbors wireless for downloading movies

jakes on them

[MrNippers]

You talkin bout what.cd?

nigh

[godsangina2]

Is Sly Stallone behind the litigation or a seperate company that financed the movie?

[Bcider]

Lol at people who download movies still. You can't pay 8 dollars a month for netflix?

[midcoastking33]

Honestly you have more to worry about viruses than big brother catching you. Netflix is terrible, end of story. And I've had plenty of instances where movies on demand just up and freeze or skip

[C_Kent]

The producer
