jcharliem rated 4 months ago- haha, in ur face greedy record labels. just a though: imagine all the money that goes to the record industry. if such an industry was to fail miserably, there still would be a market for music, but instead, the revenue would go directly to the musicians, either via web sites, ads, concerts, merchandise etc. they wont be able to stop john doe and bob american from sharing files in private anywho. who do they think they are? enemies of the people?

- From the page: "No longer will it be possible for media companies to force ISPs to give up the identities of its subscribers who they accuse of copyright infringement, which will undoubtedly be a huge relief to the ISPs too. After all, these are the ISPs biggest customers we're talking about. For Germany at least, it seems like 3-strikes-and-you're-out schemes, could've been ruled out. In future, it will only be possible to get an identity behind an IP address if dealing with a "heavy" crime, such as terrorism, murder, child pornography or kidnapping. A German law student told TorrentFreak: "At the moment, I cant imagine any realistic way file-sharers can be caught. It's possible lobby groups will try to make file-sharing count as a "heavy crime", but I doubt they will have much luck. The German criminal justice judicial system is quite overextended, and the people are overworked. Public prosecutors and judges alike were quite pissed off that they had to invest time in the many file-sharing cases, which were obviously irrelevant in a criminal law sense. The public interest to put file sharers in prison is simply not there."" ... glad to see that the European nations are coming to grips over the exorbitant demands being made of them by international corporations ... File Sharing is not a major crime, if a crime at all, and should not be treated as a felony case -- most statistics indicate that file sharing works as free advertising and actually increases sales, so if this is merely a problem of economics, its a lost cause -- but if its a problem of corporations trying to leverage political power via lawsuits, then the problem isn't with the people, but with big business trying to overextend their reach into the realm of corporate fascism ...

- The court system is overburdened, and people are pissed for having to waste time on things like file sharing? It's almost like they're asking for parallels to the bloated, heavily burdened U.S. legal system...

- From the page: "Federal Constitutional Court in Germany has ruled that the identities of file-sharers must remain private and can no longer be revealed to media companies who accuse them of copyright infringement. In future, only those accused of 'heavy' crimes such as murder, child pornography or kidnapping will be revealed."
