Megaupload encerrado após acusações de Pirataria

[Gaberlunzie]

Já ouvi várias músicos dizerem que ganham um euro, e menos por cópia...

 

É óbvio que isto é tudo uma guerra de interesses. E por enquanto a pirataria está resguardada. Existe muita gente a ganhar dinheiro à conta disso, a começar pelos ISP.

[Bazuka]

E o que mais me escandaliza é artistas assim grandes ainda virem defender as editoras. Assim de repente lembro-me do caso dos Metallica com o Napster. São roubados e ainda os defendem, fazem lembrar o povo português em certos aspectos :lol:

 

Se bem me lembro na altura do napster, quando a sony tentou demonstar que tinha prejuizo para exigir ser indminizada, as auditorias à empresa mostravam que devido à existencia do napster, a grande maioria das banda menos conhecidas revelavam crescimento das vendas na ordem dos 80%.

 

Isto acontecia porque apenas havia uma ou duas musicas disponibilizadas pelo napster, o pessoal gostava e ia comprar o CD para ouvir o resto.

O portugues oxe 7 tirou tudo.

 

no entanto acho que foi mais numa de medo conjugado com não terem links

Podes cheirar a cola do Jumbo, mas a culpa não será do Jumbo.

 

 

:lol:

 

 

btw quero ver quem é o marmanjo que tem lata para prender alguém por sacar algo da net, quando temos um governo que nos corta em tudo o que pode.

LOL

Fia-te na Virgem e não fujas...

Claro que há por aí muito fantoche capaz de prender ou multar as pessoas por isso. Se já o fazem por muito menos...

[Khronus]

Então porquê?

Democracia = (entre outras coisas) livre acesso à cultura.

Pirataria = Livre acesso à cultura

 

Se me permitires o conselho, pesquisa o que é a palavra liberdade.

MegaUpload User Data Soon to be Destroyed

 

MegaUpload has received a letter from the US Attorney informing the company that data uploaded by its users may be destroyed before the end of the week. The looming wipe-out is the result of MegaUpload’s lack of funds to pay for the servers. Behind the scenes, MegaUpload is hoping to convince the US Government that it’s in the best interest of everyone involved to allow users to access their data, at least temporarily.

 

In the wake of the MegaUpload shutdown many of the site’s users have complained about the personal files that were lost as collateral damage.

 

From work-related data to personal photos, the raid disabled access to hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of files that are clearly not infringing. A recent announcement by the US Attorney now suggests that these files may soon be lost forever.

 

“We received a letter very late Friday from the US Attorney that declared there could be an imminent destruction of Megaupload consumer data files on this coming Thursday,” MegaUpload lawyer Ira Rothken told TorrentFreak.

 

Rothken explains that MegaUpload is determined to protect the interests of its users, but that its hands are tied without help from the authorities. The looming data loss is linked to unpaid bills at Cogent Communications and Carpathia Hosting where MegaUpload leased some of its servers.

 

“We of course would like to think the United States and Megaupload would both be united in trying to avoid such a consumer protection calamity whereby innocent consumers could permanently lose access to everything from word processing files to family photos and many other things that could never practically be considered infringing,” the lawyer told TorrentFreak.

 

“Megaupload’s assets were frozen by the United States. Mega needs funds unfrozen to pay for bandwidth, hosting, and systems administration in order to allow consumers to get access to their data stored in the Mega cloud and to back up the same for safekeeping.”

 

MegaUpload has contacted the US Attorney’s office with a request to unfreeze assets including money and domains so users can get access to their personal data. If this doesn’t happen, the consequences for many MegaUpload users and the future of other cloud hosting services will be disastrous.

 

“If the United States fails at helping protect and restore Megaupload consumer data in an expedient fashion, it will have a chilling effect on cloud computing in the United States and worldwide. It is one thing to bring a claim for copyright infringement it is another thing to take down an entire cloud storage service in Megaupload that has substantial non infringing uses as a matter of law,” Rothken told us.

 

Meanwhile, MegaUpload users are also taking action themselves. Last week Pirate parties worldwide began making a list of all the people affected by the raids, and they are planning to file a complaint against authorities in the US. The EFF has also taken an interest in the issue, and is sharing data with the international Pirate parties.

 

For now, however, the more urgent matter is to ensure that the data doesn’t get destroyed

 

Dutch ISPs Refuse To Block The Pirate Bay

 

Two large ISPs in the Netherlands have said they will not be blocking subscriber access to The Pirate Bay, as demanded by the Hollywood supported anti-piracy outfit BREIN. T-Mobile and KPN argue that blocking websites is a threat to the open Internet, and suggest that the entertainment industry focuses on new business models instead. BREIN is now expected to take the ISPs to court.

 

Two weeks ago, the Court of The Hague ruled that Ziggo, the largest ISP in the Netherlands, and competitor XS4ALL have to block access to The Pirate Bay.

 

The ruling was the first to bring broad censorship to the Netherlands and in a response XS4ALL said they were “bitterly disappointed”, noting that fundamental rights had been traded for “commercial interests.”

 

For BREIN, the Dutch anti-piracy group that started the court case, the verdict wasn’t quite enough. The Hollywood-backed group wasted no time issuing requests for other ISPs to block access to The Pirate Bay as well. Or else.

 

After internal discussions two large ISPs – KPN and T-Mobile – are now on record stating they will not honor BREIN’s request. This means that millions of Internet users in the Netherlands will still be able to access The Pirate Bay without having to go through proxies.

 

Speaking out against censorship, both Internet providers state they will only block The Pirate Bay following a court order and that innovation is a better way to deal with the problem of piracy.

 

“KPN sees the blocking of websites as a drastic measure for which a court order is required,” KPN said in a statement, adding that innovation is needed to curb piracy.

 

“KPN doesn’t believe a blockade is the right solution. What is needed are robust, attractive business models that are easy to use and offer a fair deal to both producers and consumers of content.”

 

T-Mobile also said that it will only respond to court orders, while it emphasized the value of an open Internet.

 

“T-Mobile strongly supports an open Internet and is fundamentally against shutting off access to websites. Dutch law is very clear when it comes to blocking access to the Internet. T-Mobile will only respond to a court ruling, not to demands from a private party such as BREIN.”

 

If BREIN follows up on threats that were made earlier, both ISPs can expect to be sued by the anti-piracy outfit in the near future. Ziggo and XS4ALL, meanwhile, are expected to enforce the blockade this coming Wednesday, February 1st.

 

Whether the blockade will have much of an effect is yet to be seen. Judging from what happened in other countries when the site was blocked, users will quickly find ways to route around the blockade to regain access to the world’s largest torrent site.

 

Curtia mais o Soulseek do que o Napster.

Mas desde quando é que a T-Mobile é holandesa? :lol:

A T-Mobile é alemã, é uma subsidiária da Deutsch Telekom.

So what?

 

Vai lá ler o que está escrito na noticia!

 

É a mesma m*rda com a vodafone! Tens a mesma marca em varios paises, e a de um nada tem a ver com a do outro a não ser facto de partilhar o nome, são empresas independentes!

 

Naquele caso eles falam claramente que na T-Mobile holandesa, porque é um processo que aconteceu na holanda, e como tal nada tem ver a com a T-Mobile alemã.

[Black Hawk]

Ok, faz sentido. Só acho piada referirem-se a eles como holandesa, seria como falarem da Vodafone como empresa portuguesa, quando não é. Há formas diferentes de dizer que é a homónima holandesa.

Qual é a diferença do TL para o TPB?

[bixtre]

precisas de conta para o TL

[HIM]

Qual é a diferença do TL para o TPB?

 

TL = só entras na comunidade através de convite

TPB = free 4 all

[Gaberlunzie]

O TPB mudou o site. Agora é '.se'.

Ou então só notei agora, mas acho que a mudança é recente.

[Victarion]

é recente. com o domain em .se eles estão teoricamente intocáveis.

[HIM]

O TPB mudou o site. Agora é '.se'.

Ou então só notei agora, mas acho que a mudança é recente.

 

Parece que mudaram. Fizeram eles muito bem. Deduzo que colocando como .se estão somente abrangidos pelas leis Suecas.

Year of the storm

 

2012 is the year of the storm.

 

The Pirate Bay will reach an age of 9 years. Experiencing raids, espionage and death threats, we're still here. We've been through hell and back and it has made us tougher than ever.

 

The people running the site has changed during the years. No sane human being would put up with this kind of pressure for 8 years in a row. An insane hobby that takes time from our families, our work (sorry boss) and our studies.

 

What binds us all together is a strong belief that what we do is good. That it is something we one day can tell our grandchildren about with pride. People from all over the world confirm this. We read testimonials from people in Syria longing for freedom, thanking us for what we provide. We receive more than 100 visits daily from North Korea and we sure know that they need it. If there's something that will bring peace to this world it is the understanding and appreciation of your fellow man. What better way to do that than with this vast library of culture?

 

With this said, we hear news from our old admins that they have received a verdict in Sweden. Our 3 friends and blood brothers have been sentenced to prison. This might sound worse than it is. Since no one of them no longer lives in Sweden, they won't go to jail. They are as free today as they were yesterday.

 

But what enrages us to our inner core is that the system, the empire, the governments, are still allowed to try to boss you and us around with one law crazier than the other. Do you think they will stop with SOPA/ACTA/PIPA? They will not. Because you won't stop sharing those files. Because we will not stay down. Because no one can turn back time. Together, we are the iron that hardens with each strike.

 

In this year of the storm, the winners will build windmills and the losers will raise shelters. So flex your muscles, fellow pirates, and give power to us all! Build more sites! More nets! More protocols! Scream louder than ever and take it to the next level!

Mas os antigos admins do TPB foram condenados pela Lei Sueca?? Pensei que estivessem protegidos pelas leis de lá...

[Guest fiasco]

Uma coisa é certa começo a ver estas leis ganharei mais força, começo a ver a crise a instalar-se em maior força pela Europa e EUA (então se o vencedor das eleições nos EUA for Republicano...), começo a ver partidos e países a fazerem finca-pé a leis criadas pelos "poderosos" e começo a olhar de outra forma para o celebre dia 22 de Dezembro..
