Kino.to Raided In Massive Police Operation, Admins Arrested
- kephra 15y agoKino.to was short showing the following after the raid. http://smblogger.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/kino.to_.png http://smblogger.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/kino.to_.png So the police (or someone else) defaced the site, before taking it offline. I wonder, if they recorded IP addresses at that time or record IP addresses of visitors currently.
- Luyt 15y agoThat announcement also makes it clear that everyone who ever used the services of the website, should expect measures taken against him/her.
- Luyt 15y ago"professional copyright infringement" Excuse me, but 'professional' could mean anything. Some people use it to mean that they're following standard industry practices; others use it because they're always dressed in suits. Another definition separates 'professionals' from 'amateurs' in a way that 'professionals' earn their money with their trade, and amateurs are just messing about; there is much jealousie-de-metier here. This vagueness of the term 'professional' causes me to immediately ask what it really entails if somebody pitches to me that their services are 'professional'.
- kephra 15y agothe original text (see the png of my posting below) says, "gewerbsmaessige Begehung von Urheberrechtsverletzung", so the professional in the torrentfreaks translation refers to earning money.
