What a waste of time and energy, wonder how many SAFACT people download movies?

 

[hoektoe]

But we are allowed to download cause we enforce copyright, we are the copyright holders .. right? 0_o

What a waste of time and energy, wonder how many SAFACT people download movies?

Or share their 1TB HDDs with friends and family.

The cops should raid their offices and homes, bet you would find lots of "illegal" stuff as well as porn

There's an unspoken rule:

Never torrent local content.

I'm not really sure that was worth an article, possibly the shortest one I've seen on mybb yet, and....not really telling us anything significant or new.

Pretty much same old same old here. Downloading isn't a problem but uploading/distributing is. The only real change is they used to only go after people who made a profit from pirated goods, where as I doubt this guy got anything more than an unusually high upload rate for RSA.

I for one had never heard of "Four Corners" and had to go look it up (doesn't sound like it's anywhere near as good as District 9 was).

The irony is that hardly anyone would have bothered watching this fliek if it hadn't been shared with the world, the production company should be paying Mr Norton for all the free publicity that his trial is creating for the fliek.

Well said

I would say that this movie is at least 10 times better than Tsotsi. Really worth a while, as long as you can tolerate watching a movie with subtitles.

 

[Devo-sa]

Well good people, we have the name now. So let's all show our support for the accused and share the balls off this on the P2P networks.

Show them how stupid their actions really are.

 

[Kloofvreter]

So this idiot uploaded a video and is now prosecuted. I don't see the problem.

Agreed,it was excellent,one of the best local films.And the acting is better than 90% of local,if not more.
