They allege that there were several different packages on the machine, and that there was no evidence that any of them were on the machine until just before he turned the drive over to them for inspection.
The flaw in their credibility is they make that claim about a piece of software that comes bundled on his brand of laptop, as well as the other pieces of software.
Maybe after this weekends news, Apple should work more on keeping apps with malware out of their store, instead of spending so much time trying to nanny their users.
Unfortunately, both the UK government and the US government think that the problem isn't that they are invading our privacy, but that someone had the nerve to reveal it to us so we know.
There is plenty of blame to go around. While I think some (most? all?) of the disputes between content providers and the distributors are ridiculous, you don't have to do much digging to find a whole lot of bloat on the bill that is strictly from the cable company.
For instance I can't watch things on my DVR on my other TV, because they wanted to not only charge me a per month fee to turn on the feature on my DVR, but wanted to charge me a monthly network fee, that was basically charging me to allow them to send signal across my wire in my home network that both receivers were already connected to.
Both sides of the industry are trying their best to ignore the fact that the current method is going to change, it only remains to be seen who will be a part of it, and who will dry up and blow away, while crying the modern equivalent of "Why isn't anyone buying my buggy whips?"
I'm not sure we can say the only income they had was from these two default judgements. On the cases where they were allowed to serve the ISP and got a response, were their any single ip dismissals that would indicate someone who settled based on the threat letters.
I hope your comment is merely a shout out to DTD & SJD for the work that they do, and not an actual intent to leave it to them. We need as many voices shouting about this BS as we can get.
And I might check it out if Chartier hadn't started the speculative invoicing scheme. As it is now though, I refuse to do anything that might resemble supporting his work. Even though it will not change the amount of money he will receive, "Dallas Buyers Club" in now on (or was recently) a premium movie channel that I subscribe to, and I still won't watch it.
Re: "I blew my foot off, but it's your fault I'm bleeding!"
The 8 million number was in relation to "Hurt Locker", not "Killer Joe". That doesn't change the logic of your argument, that if you don't make it available people can't watch it.
From this article: "but it does seem odd that the labels are suing in Florida, when they're mostly based in NY and MP3Skull is most likely based in Russia. "
From Ars Technica: "The record labels' lawsuit (PDF) was filed in the Southern District of Florida, where the site's Web hosting service, Webzilla, is based."
So there is at least some logic to suing in Florida.
I wonder how long it will be before these apps are turning out to make Hollywood a bunch of money. That seems to be what usually happens with new technology that they go bonkers over.
"* For unclear reasons, the bill was originally about drones, and was then amended to remove everything drone related and add all the 3D printing stuff. It is unclear why."
It was because her staff didn't get the memo on what the "Scary Technology of the Day" was.
While the headline can be read different ways, Time Warner is increasing to 6X their old speeds for the same price they were charging. They are not going to 6X google fiber speed for the price that Google is charging.
This was a most informative article for me. I am a DirecTV subscriber, and I had no idea that The Weather Channel was once again available.
Now that I know, I will tune in to it exactly the same amount this coming month as I did last month. The difference is that it will be now be a willful choice.
Exactly. When AT&T starts putting in 1GB service someplace Google isn't already, or announced they are going to be, then I might believe AT&T is actually interested increasing service for it's customers.

What is wrong with this picture?
Add in every feature that people hate from the movie industry. (Release Windows, etc).
Have a high priced tier for better quality reproduction (of Rap music ??)
Promise to pay artists more than other systems (which are losing money).
Insult your intended audience.
Take the $$$ to the bank.
It's possible the idea has a flaw or two.
