Piracy aides in creating sales.
Up to 3% more for movies in theaters: https://hbr.org/2020/10/the-digital-piracy-dilemma
Interesting. NAL, but I wonder if you are in legal trouble for game piracy if you could motion to dismiss due to their lack of standing due to this report...
The very article you posted says quite the contrary? You cherry picked a sentence that older movies see an uptick, but in nearly every other summary point, it says piracy reduces legal sales.
Isn't there some sort of statute of limitations here? 12 years is an awfully long time
Sounds more like they’re going after Grande. Belief being the testimony would allow them to build a case that Grande incited or somehow induced privacy which would strip them from a number of legal protections that may apply to service providers.
Good luck, bozos. What are you gonna do? Extradite me to the US?
Extradited man: "What are you gonna do? Extradite me?"
I will never take these companies' side over a noble sailor of the high seas, but I took a look at the movies produced by Millennium Media, and they need every red cent they can get. They're certainly not getting them from tickets or rentals. Good lord, I haven't seen so much ripe stinking dogshit since the summer I spent clean cages at the animal shelter.
How humiliating to get copyright swatted for downloading something from the studio that brought you such timeless classics as The Prince & Me: The Elephant Adventure and Day of the Dead: Bloodline.
Apparently this is the second time they’ve tried, and they’ve come with no new compelling case.
Maybe they think that Musk-lite will help them this time?
Only 6? Really? I'm pretty sure /r/piracy existed and had more users than that in 2011.
Shit... I could be one. I got banned from /r/Gaming around that time just for telling someone what specific .BIN file to search for to get their playstation emulator running, despite others mentioning the same thing and their rules only saying you can't post links.
My guess is it's 6 users that they've identified as doing a bunch of distribution but only have their reddit names to identify them
Yea good luck suing the entire ~~USA~~ World
FYI, the article says that the ip addresses originate in Texas.
They could have used proxies.
They could also no longer be in Texas, given it was 12 years ago.
Lol, it's entirely possible that that info has rusted away in the intervening decade, even if Reddit wanted to comply. This is a scare tactic.
Reddit won a similar case a few months back.
Uhhh, all of them?
It was probably Dave.
