From: Andrew Beaudoin Subject: ABUSE - Copyright Infringement; Trademark Abuse Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2005 09:33:12 -0400 PRQ (DBA: TFR, THEPIRATEBAY) Box 1206 Stockholm, 11479 Sweden Voice - +46-707-323-819 Fax - +46-707-323-819 To whom it may concern: I am writing to you as the legal representative of Rabbit Valley Comics. Rabbit Valley owns the copyright of all the published works under the Another Rabco Disaster trademark. I hereby notify you that you are hosting material (published via a bittorrent tracker) which infringes on our copyrights. The address of the website is http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3357473 Neither use nor distribution of this material has been authorized by Rabbit Valley. Hence I have to conclude that this publication constitutes an infringement of the copyrights of Rabbit Valley. Under the European E-Commerce directives (Directive 2000/31/EC, 2004/48/EC, (EC) No 1383/2003) you, as a hosting provider, are liable for unlawful content. If you don't act immediately after you have been notified of this fact. I trust you will take all necessary measures upon receipt of this notification to end this and all future infringements of our intellectual property rights.

From anakata
Subject: Re: Copyright Infringement; Trademark Abuse To: Andrew Beaudoin <andrew@vicam.com> Dear Mr Rabbitt, (Why the extra T? Afraid of furry-jokes when paying with your credit card? Or does the rabbit suit give you away?) Even though we deeply respect and acknowledge your "intellectual" property, we fail to see how an interpretation of the said directives makes them applicable in this case. NONE of the copyrighted data in question is published or ever stored on our servers. Nor is any of the copyrighted data relayed through our servers. The tracker merely provides .torrent files. As to this day this activity is not prohibited by Swedish law and it's our assessment that not even a wide interpretation of the E-commerce directives makes them applicable to torrent trackers. Out activities will therefore continue until this fact changes or Hell freezes over. We suggest that you motion for a change of Swedish and/or for the European Supreme Court to clarify the interpretation of the directive, which should take no more than 3-7 years. Patience is a virtue! In the meantime: Enjoy our tracker! If you browse under "porn" I'm sure that you'll find something that tickles just that "special" spot. Hope to see you at the annually furry-convention in Las Vegas! Our whole staff will be going as the cast from the movie "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" Sincerely /Judas_I Legal representative of The Pirate Bay |

Response to : SEGA Europe Limited
Dear Sir(s), Madam(s), and/or Slimemold(s), I have the distinct pleasure of informing you that no Swedish trademark and/or coypyright law is being violated, regardless of how the situation may or may not be under UK law. I would advise you to read up on Swedish trademark law, more specifically Varumarkeslag (1960:644), as this might save you a great deal of future humiliation.I would also advise you to a) not write the subject all in UPPERCASE, as it makes spam filters go nuts b) not attach meaningless data from trademark registrys in PDF format and c) stop lying. Then I guess you'll have to send us another oh-so-scary-sounding e-mail about ht://static.thepiratebay.org/sega_mail.txt and ht://static.thepiratebay.org/sega_response.txt :-/. |

Response:
Dear Prokaryote(s), Please sue me in Japan instead. I've always wanted to visit Tokyo. Also, I'm running out of toilet paper, so please send lots of legal documents to our ISP - preferably printed on soft paper. No, but seriously. That's simply not how international law enforcement works. Using the same logic, a country where web sites are forbidden could press charges against you for having one. |

Web Sheriff
Protecting Your Rights on the Internet Tel 44-(0)208-323 13 / Fax 44-(0)208-323 80 websheriff@websheriff.com ww.websheriff.com Dear Frederik, We would refer you to our notification of yesterday's date regarding the above, the contents of which are self-explanatory (hereinafter referred to as the "Notification"), to which we have yet to receive the courtesy of a response. Notwithstanding the fact that you contend that torrent hosting is legal in Sweden (which we would dispute), you also seem to fail to recognise that your web-site is accessible all over the world and that, as such, your actions and, furthermore, your refusal to act, opens you and your company up to the possibility of law suits in - inter alia - the United States and the United Kingdom. Such law suits could result in your being refused entry to both the US and the UK Accordingly we would strongly recommend that you immediately comply with the Notification, failing which we shall be obliged to advise our clients' attorneys to take against your company (and your company officers) without further notice. We would also warn you that, if such steps do prove to be necessary, our clients' attorneys would also (a) notify the Swedish tax authorities of your commercial activities, (b) notify the Swedish government of your illegal activities, (c) notify the Swedish record industry association of your pirate activities and (d) notify the IFPI of your piracy activities. |

It's spelled "Fredrik". We would like to refer you to our Legal Threats section, on which we, while having much fun, ridicule people like you. Thank you for your contribution. ...and I would like to refer you to the relevant court cases. Unfortunately, our legal team partied quite heavily last night, so the only reference I can provide you with is H |

Stomp,
Actually what the lawyers do is threaten the Pirate Bay. Since The Pirate bay is located in Sweden(?) then they are virtually untouchable. So what the lawyers do is go after the ip addresses and ISPs of the users on The Pirate Bay. They can and will prosecute each and every users that download content from the Pirate bay ( or any other pirate/torrent website). I know this as a fact that ISPs have a legal right and responsibility to release the ip addresses of their clients (users) to those lawyers. My nephew was caught a few weeks ago by his ISP (COMCAST). His ISP reduced his bandwidth and sent him a warning that he could face criminal procecution. You see if your ISP sees illegal activity, then if they don't act then they (the ISP) could be fined as well. Also, a friend of mine was also caught and faces a huge fine and his computer was seized for downloading content from The Pirate Bay and from other pirate websites. So , please heed this warning: BE CAREFULL !!! YOU ARE BEING WATCHED !!!

in WWII all telephone were easy drop on talk outside USA
then Pres Bush they did it again but i was told back in late 70s be careful what you do no then is secure at all, one may think no one is watching you or them, even one party inside a game (lan party) like DF: backhawk down and playing same time other maybe downloading a torrent from the internet! both party be look at real good once over, even if say one of them is using a torrent to share a DVD with each other over the internet they know. old days it was cool! but copy right items getting real bash now days so don't try it i think they search for wording in the torrent file to catch other doing like dvd, movies hellboy, rated-r and Microsoft, norton, they to searching see were it coming from and what ISP/ DNS leads get on the files upload and downloads don't do it now days you may have big brother or some law enforcement knocking your door down for some cheap @ss software or item you could have pay for, beats the fine one get and the lawyer fee for court date. i got a gut feeling there maybe one come to the forum (nameless) asking for help do to the disc or files gone bad, ISO file don't last long and some torrent ISO files not all the data is there on the internet to get, parts of the files are gone or bad download it happens a lot. there no shock about that.

I am glad to see this response and my aim was to bring this to the attention of all the members and visitors to the NovaHQ
The flippant remarks bantered forth and the serious demands uttered are a supreme example of the arrogance one can assume in the full belief in and of their own convictions and in some cases, regardless of widely perceived and accepted legalities. |

BitLet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia BitLet Developer(s) Daniele Castagna Alessandro Bahgat Shehata Written in Java Operating system Cross-platform Available in English Type Peer-to-peer License GNU General Public License Website BitLet.org BitLet, abbreviation for BitTorrent Applet, is a BitTorrent program that enables the use of this file sharing protocol inside any Java-enabled web browser, without the need of an external dedicated client program. [edit] Features The software intends to make the use of BitTorrent very simple. To make a download, the user first needs to obtain a valid torrent metafile URL. The user then copies the URL to BitLet's main page and clicks the download link, initiating the downloading process. All the sharing is done by the user's computer, which is actively uploading and downloading as long as the program window is open. This differentiates it from other services like ImageShack's torrent download feature, which does the sharing on the server side, allowing the user to download the torrent by HTTP in the end. This system also allows webmasters to easily distribute files using the BitTorrent protocol without requiring the visitors of their sites to install and know how to use a BitTorrent client. To do that, a webmaster needs to find a tracker that directs the BitTorrent downloads and uploads of his file, host the .torrent file, and then display a link in his site, prefixing a URL code to the torrent's online location[2]. The BitLet site provides a code generator to create the HTML for that link[1]; some sites that distribute torrent files already provide such links along with the URL to their torrents, including Fenopy and Suprnova . However, no means of embedding the applet and player into third-party sites exists as of July 2009. BitLet also allows streaming audio in MP3 and Ogg Vorbis formats, an experimental streaming video feature (mostly using Theora, with optional HTML 5 playback), and an uploader for turning a file into a torrent. |

Even if it does say "legal Torrents" I still wouldn't trust it.
You internet history that your ISP has access to will still say THE PIRATE BAY, which will throw a red flag to your ISP. The people at The Pirate Bay can afford to be "flippant" in their responces to the lawyers because the country that they live in has leanent laws governing copyright materials. We however don't have that convenience.

I am not a bit Torrent tragic, I understand and comply with the system.
The world for us just cannot be for free, even in the future with robots to serve us there still has to be a cost and so a debt to pay, someone has to invent and produce it all. Some one has to work, and so they must be paid in kind. |

But we can't just steal copyrighted material and think just because someone put it out there that it's OK for us to use. And I'm not saying that you did download Pirated material, I'm saying that anyone who accesses (and uses) those pirate websites are subject to criminal prosecution and should be. Because stealing is stealing. Like you said, nothing is free. jmho, Dave

I have used them "TPB" for NoCD cracks for Games I own to prevent wear and tear on the disk and for faster loading times. I thought you could do it if you owned the software (stated many times on the net) so this is not true? I am worried now!
I put my serial code in so that is part of the protection and I don't know if some one could crack the game until you install it and you can't install until you enter the serial. I don't get fully cracked games or serials just the NoCD crack I have 200+ owned games to prove it? Does it prove any thing? Am I under the gun do you think? |
