Indeed in Japan this poor lady would be in prison.

Glad we agree.

New law is not intended to catch everyone. Keep in mind, record companies have a lot of power n Japan. Even more than in US. They regularly force ISP's to give up the goods on users. If the ISP data matches the record labels data, they get a warrant. They claim to have the ability to pinpoint.

So if they can show reasonable belief you are downloading, Police come and knock and then confiscate every computer and mobile device at the address. If they find nothing, you get everything back, no issue. If they find downloads you can be arrested.

Now keep in mind, in Japan,the moment the police come you are labeled a potential criminal. Your photos go up, name goes out and even neighborhood general address can be revealed. Unless you are a bunch of scumbags and don't care about being seriously isolated by everyone you now, your entire family will move far far away.

What makes Japan unique is that this is a huge problem for whole family. You may lose your job, family is disgraced, lives are shattered. What Japanese pols are speculating on is that 90% of the population just won't take the chance.

Apparently p2p has seen radical drops in usage recently.

They'll bust a few radicals or dimwits and make them examples for the rest. It generally works, over past 2-3000 years.

Just sayin.

We both agree that if you can prove beyond reasonable doubt someone committed a crime they should be punished. You are willing to let the government and police snoop on everything everyone does online forgoing any freedom or privacy, and you think that a policeman is qualified enough to enter a property and remove all the storage devices contained within. I disagree with you on those two points, but so what?

I'm off to Florida for a week tomorrow. Enjoy shouting at clouds.

IMO When this news is made public people will shit themselves. Thus lower demand which affects the supply.

It might effect people in Japan due to their social culture, but a threat as a deterrent is a horrible long term solution to any problem.

The distorted logic of punishing demand is what has created the massive list of "sex offenders" full of people who don't belong there. (See the recent story about people in California ending up on the registry for public nudity.)

My perspective is that a market where people are constantly struggling to use the power of a violent government monopoly for their economic issues is not a free market.

Likewise when people make copies of (ie, download) movies or music (or porn) that they had no intention of buying, how much did the producer lose? Zero.

Big fines make a lot of sense, jail time makes zero sense.

Jailing people costs money and does nothing to compensate rights holders.
I'd much rather see 100K fine with guaranteed damages paid to rights holders and zero jail time.

Make jail time or fine optional, the convicted can choose.

Problem with the big fines is that the people can't pay them. Every case I've heard of, even the big profile Fisher ones, they end up settling for cents in the dollar amounts awarded. Also, historically it hasn't worked. The MPAA and RIAA tried it for years and piracy increased. So, it doesn't appear to be an effective deterrent.

Bit like donations and people not paying. :Oh crap

Try not paying the criminal courts and see how that works for you.

Guys in japan it is even illegal to show genitals without mosaic censorship over it, no one japanese company can sell uncensored porn really it needs foreign companies to do it, and japanese users know it is illegal and lots are shy to download even for free.
And anyway they prefer clothed girls who talk of themselves first 10 minutes (while westerns skip all the storyline and dialogue to go to the intercourse scene), and end up describing how their panties are smelling, showing panties instead of pussy.
Japan it is quite a place and culture on its own even within asia, I don't think you can import/export laws but especially how citizens react to laws.

So you think even if the guy is caught, he's convicted. He should still get away with it.

Like you getting away with lying about not paying the donation and caring what I think. The rest of us think you don't keep your promises.

We understand now.

No Paul. Where do I say that? I'll break it down as simply as I can Paul.

I said history has proven that even if large amounts of money are awarded in damages, the company never gets that amount and they settle for cents in the dollar.

I also said if you can prove that someone has committed a crime they should be punished.

I also said the RIAA and MPAA have proven the large fine thing is no deterrent.

Up to speed now, or shall I do a picture explaining it again for you?

The problem with you is you get your piracy news from Piratebay and Torrentfreak type sites.

I can tell you not paying a fine will get you in a lot of trouble. There is no end of ways to get someone to Pay an affordable penalty. AND PAYMENTS NEVER HIT THE NEWS.

You waste time telling us not to waste time and inventing lots of reasons to not waste time, that don't make sense.

Stop wasting time on something you will never be able to stop.

Sadly not for the porn industry. A few might move over and buy. Most won't, IMO they will move to Tubes.

The important thing for me is to kill some of the parasites. If you ignore parasites, they thrive. If you keep killing some you lessen the problem.

How you fight them is the key, AK is on the right track and it's so sad to see the amount of money he's raising to keep the fight going. Reflection on todays porn industry. :(

What Japan is doing is the right track. Don't pay a fine, get a bailiff knocking on your door, community work or straight prison for extreme offenders.

Laws are slow at keeping up, they will though.

Thats a joke. Its a money making enterprise for many people. Many people on this board as well.I'm in the dvd biz and I can tell you they come from US, UK and many places.

I have made sales, in 5 years, to maybe 2-3 Indian chaps.

Big deal. Some people try and make money from pirated goods. Same as it ever was. Does not change the fact that virtually everyone who fileshares does it for free. Same as it ever was. You refusing to accept reality won't change it.

What fucking universe do you live in? You have a grand a month for philanthropic porn sharing?

One person buys, rips, uploads to 100 sites. 10,000 download. Thats the problem, moron.
