Why the fuck should Ebay, GooTube, Blogspot or anyplace else be immune from efficient, fast and PERMANENT copyright protection?
Back in the bad old days, the Dutch Douchebag and others would simply re-up over and over, and get new blogs over and over. Ebay sellers could come back easily, and if they sold bootlegs, be given unlimited chances to mend their ways before suspension.
Ha ha ho ho hee hee, meanwhile the rights owners waste time filing DMCA forms, and stew while the lah-dee-dah websites take their sweet time about removing infringements.
Now? According to Ars Technica and Trichord, a judge in one key case could finally overthrow years of stupidity and re-write the laws so that copyright owners aren't always victimized over and over.
Could there finally be an end to the irritation and frustration of "whack-a-mole," and obnoxious jerks re-upping and getting fresh identities and being protected by obnoxious super-rich websites?
Maybe one fine day PAYPAL will be successfully sued as well, and they will stop rewarding thieves. As it is, anyone who makes GooTube money, or uses a cloud that pays "royalties" for the amount of downloads an illegal file gets, gets to keep the money. Jerks on eBay who steal and dupe get to keep the money and get off with a warning, or at worst, a suspension.
It would be nice to see a time when PAYPAL and all the banks take that money away from the thieves and give it to the complaining copyright owner.
