Court sinks pirates’ net profits

but of course the legal meanderings and musings neatly sidesteps the differential between the rights of purchasers of copyrighted material over the right of the original material. I contend that, once an item has been legitimately purchased, whether it be a physical disk, or a digital representation of the original work. the value of the protected work declines proportionate to the number of copies sold or distributed, what the "copyright" industry is seeking is not to protect copyrighted material but rather. to use the complexities and ambiguities inherent in copyright law to censor the distribution of information or culture.. if one looks closely at a number of "pirated" materials, (particularly in the comment fields in the pirate bay) the ultimate recipient is encouraged by the seeder to support the original copyright holder by purchasing a physical or updated copy or said copyrighted work. also we should not forget that numerous bogus breaches of copyright have been claimed in order to bolster justification for blocking measures, which indicates that the"entertainment" industry are not of themselves innocent of any fraud, misrepresentation. deceit. or dishonesty in their dealings.Having said that , there are those in the field that are seeking a middle ground but they are by and large gagged by the big guns.
