Fraud generally offers trebled (tripled) financial damages and of course jail time.
    At present there is no possible charge of facilitating copyright infringement under UK criminal law.

    good news for oink, but i feel this is only the beginning for movie makers... sorry independant copyright organisations taking action against online filesharers. Should be an interesting future

    But wouldn't that constitute profiting from the tracker if he claimed that he "lost revenue"?

    Yawn?!!!

    We should be celebrating a victory here. The tides have been pushed back in our favor.

    Take joy and be merry, or Mary (your choice)- but either way CELEBRATE!

    I'm celebrating. I made this flag as part of my Avy for this site, please feel free to use it, modify it, w/e. Enjoy!



    As a matter of trivia...the "V" is taken from an original WWII victory flag. Found here
