Oops...
I hope the appeal causes contradiction. Shame that the law can be interpreted any which way that they want.
Why would they be found inoscent? Didn't the guy that ran Oink get busted as well?
The way I see it. A tracker may not be hosting the files but it's allowing the trading of copyrighted material. Same as any warez board. For any tracker admin to be found inoscent, he or they must make sure that all the files being shared are freeware files or that the author has authorized the sharing/trading of such material. And is something that must be enforced on the tracker.
The case against Oink, Is still being considered.
and the juries out where It will ever come to anything.
lets remember It was something like a year and a haft ago, and nothing has happened sofar.
Of course they will appeal, and It'll get quashed.
And stick there proverbial 2 fingers up at the judges,:geptardrod: while showing there contemned for them by dropping there trousers:geptardrod:
if they did not make any money out of it the penalty and sentence would have been lighter am hearing..and its obvious the MPAA bribed those judges..but i think they will be acquited when they appeal..
Unfortunately they found guilty :(
Wow the punishment sure doesn't meet the crime in this one. One year in jail and $3.6 million for something that doesn't directly harm people? Total bullshit.
Calm down, they won't go to jail so easy.
