Slap Wrist, Slap Wrist, There Goes Hansy - BREIN wins and loses

Brein of Holland is one of the most effective anti-piracy groups...but its citizens are some of the biggest abusers. After all, it was a Dutch Douche who proclaimed himself BLOGFATHER and arrogantly used over a hundred blogspot accounts to be "famous" literally at the expense of the artists he stole from. Of course here's a guy who also stole in person, and would go to the offices of record labels and fill his knapsack with "goodies" and hustle away.

BREIN wins one. Or do they? This was just a slap on the wrist. They spent a fortune just to get a cease and desist from some brat.

A real victory would be if Brein and the United Nations and ICANN had every ISP block the torrents, and round up the torrent owners and threw 'em all in jail, with heavy fines.

A real victory would be if "safe harbor" was eliminated and everyone from EBAY to GOOTUBE had to make sure that what was uploaded or sold was legit. No more of this caveat bullshit: "I own copyright" or "It's public domain" or it's "Free under rules of Free Speech."

This 20 year-old demon got to keep the ad money he made, didn't pay any fine for all the money the studios lost, and can even come back with a new ISP if he feels like it. "Yah," he laughs, "I set up a laptop and some wi-fi and I get even with them for ruining my fun!"

It reminds me of a prick in the USA who keeps getting on eBay to sell dupe photos of movie stars, and another who Photoshops dirty pix of them. Doesn't matter to eBay. If the new ID doesn't match EXACTLY (ISP, name, phone number, bank account) they say it's not the same person and don't give an automatic suspension. Doesn't matter if this person even sent death threats to rights owners. He's back in good standing, and as always, the greedhead gets a dozen warnings before he's even inconvenienced with a month's suspension. By then he's got another five accounts all ready to go.

Are the torrents ready to go? Hell no. They are protected by the great Internet Fascist Monopoly. Every stinking monolith from Comcast to Google makes money off every Internet user and all that lovely traffic on Piracy sites. Morality in the 21st Century is as dead as most everyone will be within the next 20 years. Seriously. One of today's headlines is: "Climate Change Brings Urgency to Paris Meetings." Yes, the same Paris that had 100 citizens killed and hundreds more physically and emotionally scarred. Obama and his chums aren't talking about how the Muzzies are destroying the world...but how climate change is doing it.
