Fortunately for me, I'm too old to know how to pirate even if I wanted to do so.
However, I'm sure the fine people at Broderbund would like to have a long conversation with me from way, way back in the day.
Choplifter and Karateka took up hours and hours and hours of my elementary/middle school years.
If you were playing Choplifter in elementary school, you're really not THAT old. Or you are and that makes me old too, but I'm -hypothetically- completely capable of figuring out piracy. Don't short yourself, there's always room on the high seas.
After reading the article, it looks like the studios want the IPs to show that Frontier is allowing piracy on their ISP and they claim they don't want it for financial compensation.
This is true.
What I also gathered from the article (for further context) is that these are the same lawyers who tried to the other 2 cases of piracy on reddit. This time the argument is that it is not a violation of the first amendment right because they want the data to go after the ISP
I believe under the first amendment in the US Constitution and section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada you cannot silence someone’s freedom of speech/expression just because they discussed something you don’t like. This legal claim is bullshit right from the start due to constitutional protections
Also, online discussion is not evidence. To wit:
I murdered seven people before breakfast today. I love murdering so much!
Even confessions are not necessarily airtight. For example:
I shot JFK.
Police, when you get here, please knock; the doorbell's broken.
End state capitalism, the coportocracy / oligarchy using the legal system they control to wield the fascist police forces against the people who don't behave like they're told. Meanwhile, taxing what little those people have to pay the salaries of those forces abusing them.
I mean, the studios are doing it right and following SOP.
They wrote the DCMA, used the congress they bought to pass it, the president the bought to sign it into law, and now will use the FBI and local militarized police to impose their will by force.
Constituon was an obstacle they did away with when they bought the Supreme Court.
oh, boy, am I ever glad I overwrote all of my comments before deleting my account...
most reasonable corporation
They are going about it the wrong way with reddit. All they gotta do is show the $$$$ and spez will bend right over with that information. After all that's all he seems to see.
Why people insists using reddit is beyond me
They do realize IP can be changed by just resetring your router, right?
Not everyone. Also, they should just give them their private range IPs for the lols (192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/16 etc.).
Your ISP will still have a log of which IP was assigned to you at any date and time
