If I go to jail it better be for some badass "Linux distro" - I mean can you imagine going to jail for the "Linux distro" you downloaded for your mom??

Yeah LoL,
"So what are you in for?"
"I downloaded the the Horse Whisperer."

Not something you want to admit to

Big ups to WebAfrica on employing vagrants.

LOL... the true look of an original IT hippie?
hence the freedom of expression and internet usage?
we should all go for that look once a year at least

hahaha - damn that's funny.

 

[Pooky]

WebAfrica's CTO looks awesome!

Yeah, like an ISP will hand over clients details because of a strongly worded email without SA warrant. Imagine if those emails are just phishing attempts - the ISP would be in such crap.

Real professional like yeah, he looks like a backpacker hippie.

Back on topic though, what a travesty it would be if authorities tried to stop us from stealing digital content. Downright infringement on basic human rights I say.

A backpacker hippie that ain't no snitch! Luckily not a censored hippie...

Ummm its not stealing.. its copyright infringement.. there is a very subtle difference between the two.

As for the article, do the ISPs want a pat on the back for not giving out our details?...

I take offence to that.

 

[2026]

I take offence to that.

 

[Superjakes]

I take offence to that.

My apologies - I blame it on GTA. I use too many of those terms... Will change it if you are in the fudge industry.

As to VOX Telecom saying they've not received any requests.... during which timeline?
I distinctly remember someone getting whacked with a letter from them (it was on MyBB a year or three ago).

Not 'any requests', but none of this nature at least:

Vox Telecom ... have all said that they have not received requests for the personal information of their subscribers on alleged copyright infringement grounds.

In any case I do not expect top level management to be aware of every single email they receive.

Tell those media houses they should stop discriminating against us and I'll stop pirating their movies

And? Who cares what he looks like?

ummm

Even though it boils down to the same thing, you know that's not the point.

 

[abandonallhope]

He should. And evidently you do too.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Nope it does not boil down to the same thing at all.. but this argument has been had over and over again....
