Ah, there's nothing like the smell of hypocrisy in the morning-apparently the prohibition against copying films without the copyright owner's consent doesn't apply to the MPAA.

    Bah it's like SOny using open codes for their anti piracy stuff without mentionning it or showing the code itself.

    Just remember people, if it's good for them it's...

    That's nothing against what their German counterparts did. They ran some FTP servers which were used to distribute movies and then sued the users of those servers.

    That's disgusting. I can't stand hypocrisy, especially from them, considering the way they've been conducting themselves towards copyright infringement.

    Running honeycomb networks to spot and track the hackers I can understand... but inciting people to crime isn't acceptable at all. But THAT is jsut disgusting. Who are they to judge if they do it themselves ?
