MPAA

[Feldenak]

Has anyone turned someone into the MPAA, RIAA, or BSA? I'm really not interested in how much you hate these organizations, I'm just curious if anyone has turned another person in.

No, this is not someone I just want to get even with.

 

[n0cmonkey]

Nope. It's their job to find the copyright infringers, not mine.

No kidding. ISOs on servers at work and such....I can't go to our sys admin or the netword admins either, for the obvious reason.

If I worked for an ISP and they called wanting all of our logs, I would out of spite....delete all of the logs and give them a blank disk. Or just tell them, sorry...we don't feel like invading of privacy by keeping logs of other peoples activities.

If the files are on the server, admin will find it sooner or later. If that doesn't bother you, just leave it alone.

Umm...the problem is the admins are the ones putting the stuff on the servers.

So...they want to share goodies with you. I don't know what to do, but I will check the files. I will not report unless there are some child porn stuff.

 

[Colt45]

I wouldnt bother. mpaa and riaa are more evil than admins.

If you dislike the admins, turn them in to Human Resources -- the company could have to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars in a civil suit, or tens of thousands just to settle, for allowing this to happen with their equipment and bandwidth.

When I was visiting the burn ward at the children's hospital, this severely burned child about 11 years old came in who they didn't think was going to live. Well, his mom had given him his mp3 player with some ripped songs on it to relieve the monotony of just lying there in pain. I called the RIAA so they could put the smack down on him.

Then go up the chain? I'd think it would be faster and more effective than MPAA/RIAA who suck anyhow.

 

[Dedpuhl]

I would consider it if I knew a person that was selling pirated merchandise.

Yes, if you can keep this in-house your superiors would certainly appreciate it.

 

[Feldenak]

Thanks guys. I'll think about it some more and then try to make a decision.

MPAA/RIAA: has no authority in my country.
BSA: tough guys, but I don't pirate any software they might be interested in, so I don't hate them, they are just doing their jobs (making some of the people who profit from software piracy pay exorbitant fines).

However, I still hate our version of the RIAA for charging every single blank DVD+-R(W) sold in Hungary with an additional ~0.80$ and every other kind of blank media (VHS/AC/CD...) as well "to help the artists"... meh.
I only buy blank media from foreign stores.
