Nos Estados Unidos a lei esta apertar com os utilizadores do BitTorrent, neste ultimo ano foram processados cerca 99,924 utilizadores por partilha ilegal de conteudos protegidos e as queixas estao a aumentar a velocidade da luz.
The avalanche of copyright infringement lawsuits in the United States, mainly against BitTorrent users, are about to hit a dubious milestone. In total 99,924 defendants have been sued in the last 12 months, and new cases are being filed at a rapid rate. Adult companies in particular have embraced the profitable pay-up-or-else scheme where tens of millions of dollars are at stake.
Mass P2P lawsuits have been filed all across the United States in recent months, especially by companies dealing with adult content. They have embraced this new revenue stream by the dozen and new studios are joining every month.
Through these mass lawsuits the copyright holders are trying to obtain the personal details of (mostly) BitTorrent users who allegedly shared their material online. Once this information is handed over, they then offer the defendant the opportunity to settle the case for a few hundred up to a couple of thousand dollars, thereby avoiding a full trial and potentially even bigger financial penalties.
In the United States the judicial system is currently being overloaded with new cases, but the scope of the issue was never really clear until now. An anonymous TorrentFreak reader has spent months compiling a complete overview of all the mass P2P lawsuits that have been filed in the US since the beginning of 2010, listing all the relevant case documents and people involved in a giant spreadsheet.
Eu acho bem, estes torrents estao a dar cabo da internet e a causar um prejuizo incalculavel aos proprietarios dos direitos de autor. Todos o que utlizam esta forma de partilha para conteudos protegidos, que e um acto ilegal, deviam ser todos processados e condenados a pagar o prejuizo que causaram e ser proibidos de utilizar internet para o resto das suas vidas.
