acockasian Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi' date=' ... the original post which was about torrent sites hosting illegal media (movies, music, software, etc.)... [/quote'] Gotta disagree with you here. The OP focused on ICE seizing and shutting sites for which there was ZERO evidence of "hosting illegal media (movies, music, software, etc." and for which there was ZERO due process. Chippin' away at our rights. But now we are all safer from terrorists, no doubt. Fuckwads. In the next few years the internet will probably evolve into a couple of nets. The US one, maybe one for China and another pretty much for the rest of the world. To protect us, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun_Kong Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Gotta disagree with you here. The OP focused on ICE seizing and shutting sites for which there was ZERO evidence of "hosting illegal media (movies' date=' music, software, etc." and for which there was ZERO due process. [/quote'] How do you see that? It seems to me the evidence is pretty clear cut. You notice how none of the sites has even fought it yet, right? Oops, sorry. You're correct. I forgot about Article 41.23 in the US Constitution, which clearly states "Silence shall be construed as confession." Also, the next article, which states "We don't need no stinking judges or stinking courts" I thought you are an American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does ICE have juridiction on 'everything'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCorinthian Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Oops, sorry. You're correct. I forgot about Article 41.23 in the US Constitution, which clearly states "Silence shall be construed as confession." Also, the next article, which states "We don't need no stinking judges or stinking courts" I thought you are an American. And I thought you may want to debate this rationally. But actually, yes, silence does equal consent. In legal speak is is called, "Qui tacet consentire videtur." And yes, I am an American so I believe in rule by evidence. These sites are clearly guilty of willfully breaking copyright law. Show me how this is not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh_Hoy Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 So how are they different from Wikileaks? Government documents are not copyrighted. As for being products of "intellect", that's another issue. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
