"Mr Cobden also suggested that the companies should ask the file-sharing program BitTorrent to do more to crack down on piracy."
I think people may not quite understand how this works (again).
- JacobAldridge 17y agoPerhaps BitTorrent should run for congress, and just confuse the judicial system in multiple countries, on multiple fronts. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1098559 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1098559
- pyre 17y agoThat's an interesting parallel. What would happen is a multi-national corporation ran for office? How would that affect relations between foreign operations and the government of the jurisdictions where they reside?
- astrec 17y agoIn this case it's the reporter. I think it's fair to say Richard Cobden SC has a complete command of how this works. During the trial he made the argument iiNet does not own, control, promote or support BitTorrent software; that the film studios have contractual relationships with companies that allow illegal downloads, including BitTorrent, Inc., and despite this there were no warnings on the sites about downloading copyright material.
