I never actually heard of that case before, I was simply referencing something I heard about a few years back that I can't remember the details of off the top of my head.
Libraries pay a licensing fee each time an item is checked out. That's why it's illegal to use bittorrent to share unlicensed content that you haven't created yourself. That's also why it's fine to use bittorrent to share copies of Audacity or Pixel Dungeon, for example, but Micro$##t might have something to say if you seed Security Essentials.
Bittorrent is entirely digital and each file comes in separate chunks from a multitude of users, whereas a lending library is primarily physical and each copy of work you borrow comes from a single location. Additionally, bittorrent results in a file you can keep for as long as you have use of it, a lending library features time limits. That do you?
You mean those who allegedly torrented certain films, but were actually torrenting similarly named freeware? I phrased my statement the way I did because allegations =/= provable actions in every case.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that if the defendant who raised this defence is right, then it could be said that there's no case to answer here. After all, anybody who downloaded torrents seeded by Malibu Media are in the exact same position as those who purchased content sold by Malibu Media: legal owners of copies of films released by Malibu Media.
If James Woods did destroy his brain (as well as his nose) with coke, that would explain why he doesn't seem as intelligent as the average MENSA member.
Am I the only one who believes it's possible that James Woods was snorting a lot of coke whilst taking all the shit Seth MacFarlane throws at him, but he's now coming down off the crap sufficiently to be oversensitive to what is obviously opinion from someone who doesn't reach nearly as large an audience as Family Guy does?
Given how long GTMO stayed in operation after a certain somebody promised to shut it down (still in operation, I believe), I'd rather not drink the Kool-Aid when hearing what spin doctors have to say.
Good idea. Maybe somebody in the US could report the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. as having millions of dollars' worth of illegal substances in the possession of his organisation. ;)
