step 1: refer to picture
step 2: be amazed
step 3: discuss
The reason why they're charging that lady so much is to make her never want to pirate music and to scare other pirates. However, I guess France feels that since the crash was not intentional, the business shouldn't have to pay so much. This is all assumption and yeah, it's bullshit but many governments are way too harsh towards pirates.
it was a scare tactic. the MPAA has tried this many times. clearly it has had an enormous impact on file sharing
wait
it's just unfortunate for the girl. They pick a random pirate and punish that pirate with a ridiculous fine to SHOW as an example to the other pirates or something. It's all bullshit anyway.
she'll never be able to pay that anyway
hope her kids weren't hoping to go to college
they can still go the government will pay for all of it

its not safe to assume that the lady intended to be caught.

Wouldn't the IRS be all over her if they notice she's making credit card purchases for schools when she owes the government almost 2 million dollars?
oh I thought you meant the government would pay for the fine

24 illegal downloads is nothing compared to what most people pirate. man thats just fucking awful

Quote from: shura24 illegal downloads is nothing compared to what most people pirate. man thats just fucking awful
that\\\'s probably why they picked her to fine
i actually wouldnt be surprised if this was all staged as a scare tactic and the chick didnt even download anything, she just worked for the government
after reading about the pentagon papers and the vietnam war i\\\'m pretty sure that they WOULD do something that extreme

QuoteThe recording companies accused Thomas-Rasset of offering 1,700 songs on Kazaa as of February 2005, before the company became a legal music subscription service following a settlement with entertainment companies. For simplicity's sake the music industry tried to prove only 24 infringements.
Disregarding this virtuous gesture, yet, charging 80,000$ for one song is more than just fuckin ridiculous for it would mean that the relative songs must have been downloaded by at least 80,000 people, assuming that the loss of the recording industries would be about one dollar per song (considering the regular online prices for music). This of course can't be assumed since most popular songs which are downloaded at such an amount are spread by hundreds of people and picking put one single person to pay this fine, even if it was that high (what a really doubt) is an insolence and it's unbelievable that the judiciary of a modern country as the USA actually charges any person only to set a sign for the masses because they are too "busy" to find the other 79,999 people is just unbelievably ridiculous.
The company doesn't even lose a dollar when you download a song. They lose the fraction of the dollar that goes to them from the purchase.
I'd get a good attorney if I were accused of this bullshit.
I'd fuck a bitch up if I was accused of this
id toss a bomb if i was accused of this
her fault for making herself easy to track down online.
