High Court Finds Newzbin Liable For Copyright Infringement

**mediafired** · 03-30-2010, 01:18 PM

There is a bank over there..... ( I have a database of bank locations)

If you take that info ... then rob the bank.... how is it my fault ?

Creating a database should not be illegal.

Lets hope the source code for nzb databases go public.
After all , most releases already have an nzb released with them.
A standard ""catagory info"" , ""nfo link"" , ""site link"" added to the nzb file would make the indexing of files a breeze. And independent of any indexing site.

Ok. All I had to say.

I couldn't agree more...

So does this mean I'm going to have to switch to another program?

Any suggestions for an alternative?

Great first post

I'm surprised they aren't taking on news providers instead.
Anything that finds or helps you find copyrighted stuff is at risk of being shut down.

eta; if all of those 700,000 newzbin customers go to matrix now, they'll get £4,900,000!

I'm not surprised, I was wondering why FST al of a sudden had like 900 people viewing some TV shows.

BIZARRO WORLD fLASH NEWS!

The US Supreme Court upheld lower court rulings holding the National Rifle Association

complict in providing firearms to a range of criminals, including Organized Crime

through street thugs, Militia/Patriot groups, the Klu Klux Klan and associated racist

clubs, and other sundrey organizations.

"Although the NRA didn't, of and by itself, provide these weapons, including Weapons Of

Mass Destruction (WMD's), they did collect and distribute lists of both sellers and

shooting ranges, across state lines, sometimes in violation of certain state laws"

explained Chief Justice Roberts.

"The damage done to America by this wonton promotion of firearm violence will,

hopefully, come to an end with the disbanding of these outlaws!" added Justice Samuel

Alito, on the steps of the court building in Washington, D.C.

Through the cheers of some in the crowd, reporters and others surged forward with

shouted questions; "What about the First and Second Amendents to the Constitution?" was

the primary rallying cry.

The color from Chief Roberts face drained, and he huriedly gathered the other 8

Justices around him, then returned to the podium.

"Never Mind" he explained to the stunned crowd.

THIS HAS BEEN A BIZZARO WORLD BREAKING NEWS REPORT!

Lol, matrix is getting loads of requests for features from newzbin, and the topics are getting locked. Matrix devs haven't got the knowhow to code it.

What's the odd's there on the short list? NO site will take on what Newzbin did, just for the fact of the ruling, if they did they would be nuts, looks like NZB sits might be going the way of the "private sits", I'm at one, but doesn't have the same effect FST does...oh well maybe they will flock to our new NZB site that will be up some time soon

Afaict, the ruling picked up on newzbins category system more than anything else, and in that respect NZBmatrix is already the same as newzbin.

The features being asked for, ie a raw header system, a decent search engine, a more flexible rss system, better sorting etc, aren't things that got newzbin in trouble.
