UK : A Haven for Pirates?

[dryg]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt there some guy bribed to hell pushing some anti piracy laws atm in UK?

And from what I heard its going pretty well for him.

English law is stupidly slow, although they did just do that criminal case without a jury for the first time in 350 years.

What case? Citation?

It's still ongoing, but here's the news report on it.

Haha looking forward to this one reaching the HL/ECHR. Quickest. Case. Ever.

lol, yeah, this will be appealed so hard.

I've lost faith in the abilities of the law.

You and most of the UKs population.

 

[mikecoulter]

Nope, I can see this as being marked as a mistake and the rules only tightened further.

Holy shit England just got more awesome, time to sail the high seas!

Oh wrong kind of pirates.

Thats not how law works. The first case sets precedent, and all other cases will usually follow the same format.

Yeah, the only way to avoid precedent is by distinguishing the case using the power of a sly council.

The site provided a service people abused that why should the guy be found guilty good on him, Britain is not so far up the corporate ass as America yet atleast maybe we still have hope.

If you didn't want opinions you should have said.

All I can say is, it's about f'ing time OiNK got cleared of those ridiculous charges. I hope he's celebrating.

Word. Heard about it a couple of hours ago. This is fantastic news.

Of course, we're surrounded by sea.
I've lost faith in the abilities of the law. This is yet another weird loopholing case that makes me wish the system was easier to understand.

That's what happens when the cops don't have any teeth.

 

[mewski]

It's basically the same as iso-hunt. It doesn't actually have the files on the website therefore it's not doing anything against the law. It's a simple loop hole of the law.

Theres only one pirate port that matters!

Oh come on why tease me like that my shitty ISP caved (Eircom) and now I can't access TPB. I have to go around for ages on the internet to find a decent site for torrents. TPB is not just about pirating stuff P2P is very important for free ware games and shareware. Damn the Music Industry.
