I discovered Thepiratesbay.org and the bitstrem software utorrent.

Thepiratesbay.org has tons of tv shows, movies and music that are downloaded via utorrent.

My first try was for all of the episodes of The Pacific.

unlike netflix, it is with out cost

We’re not talking about stealing (what you did is illegal).

To wit, I could go to Best Buy and steal a bunch of BD movies, and the quality would be much better than the streams you stole (unless you stole un-reencoded stream files taken from BDs themselves).

Don’t pull down RIAA music or hollywood content.

Torrent broadcast’s your IP and the movie and music folks are itching for a big lawsuit.

HBO also monitors and tracks torrent traffic involving their originals (I’ve seen Curb your Enthusiasm cease and desist letters).

Be careful how you pull your “free” content. It can get real pricey, real quick.

Because it's theft. It's called The Pirate's Bay for a reason.

Facing the music: $1.9M file-share verdict stuns Minn. mom

June 19, 2009
By Julia Cheng, AP

A replay of the nation's only file-sharing case to go to trial has ended with the same result — a Minnesota woman was found to have violated music copyrights and must pay huge damages to the recording industry.

A federal jury ruled Thursday that Jammie Thomas-Rasset willfully violated the copyrights on 24 songs, and awarded recording companies $1.92 million, or $80,000 per song.

Thomas-Rasset's second trial actually turned out worse for her. When a different federal jury heard her case in 2007, it hit Thomas-Rasset with a $222,000 judgment.

...

U.S. District Judge Michael Davis, who heard the first lawsuit in 2007, ordered up a new trial after deciding he had erred in instructions to the jurors. The first time, he said the companies didn't have to prove anyone downloaded the copyrighted songs she allegedly made available. Davis later concluded the law requires that actual distribution be shown.

His jury instructions this time framed the issues somewhat differently. He didn't explicitly define distribution but said the acts of downloading copyrighted sound recordings or distributing them to other users on peer-to-peer networks like Kazaa, without a license from the owners, are copyright violations.

Your FRiends will be happy to visit you at the GrayBar.
