Re: Literary piracy

[(Anonymous)]

Well, we have a pretty big online pirate library in our language, because here the piracy laws don't really work (still they use an international hosting) and about everyone who uses Internet at all is a pirate.

And then there're torrents, of course. Piratebay is very useful; besides, there're local sites that give away books in English (which UK and Americans don't know about, because nobody thinks of looking for English literature on foreign torrents and because it's illegal anyway).

And also if you just type the book's title in Google you can often get something valid.

Piratebay; thanks. I'll use that search term next time I'm looking for illegal stuff to issue DMCAs on. I have friends who write, and they get very, very pissed off when people steal their intellectual property.

A year's work, and nothing at all to show for it, all so some poor little person (who can afford an e-reader!) doesn't have to pay for an e-book - which probably costs less than a coffee.

Use the goddam public library.

Yeah piratebay is gonna give a fuck about your dmca. You are a real voice of authority on this issue considering you don't know what piratebay is.

Pretty sure only people who represent holders or actually hold the copyright can report it anyway.

I note you don't reply to my main point.

Yeah, so am I. It's lucky I fall into those categories, then, isn't it?

Re: Literary piracy

Btw I'm not the first anon you replied to. Just someone who thinks it is hilarious that you are so shitty at your job and the internet you didn't know what piratebay was. Lol of the night!

Re: Literary piracy

[(Anonymous)]

No, not shitty at my job. Piratebay doesn't have any of the titles I search for. I looked at their site, though, and they seem majorly smug and obnoxious. I hope they get hacked like other sites which wouldn't respond to DMCA notices.

So, how about you? How come you know so much about Piratebay? Do you steal from authors? Do you like being stolen from, yourself?

Re: Literary piracy

Not being aware if piratebay is pretty fucking egregious if your job concerns internet piracy. It makes me absolutely confident you are ineffective concerning the sites that would have the content you're supposed to be protecting.

I have never used piratebay and have pirated one thing I didn't end up purchasing later ever and I did that out of spite. Because I'm lucky enough to have access to everything I've wanted and haven't had issues with the companies that profit off the artists I want to support.

Piracy is a complicated issue that is not the black and white morality gauge you want it to be.

Re: Literary piracy

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I gotta agree with the other anon. If your job involves keeping tabs on Internet piracy and you didn't already know about piratebay, you are incredibly shitty at your job.

Re: Literary piracy

[ariakas]

Yep. The Pirate Bay is going to care so much about the DMCAs you issue, too.

Lol. They've even summarized it for you: "we used to have a nice graph here, but it's simpler to just say: 0 torrents has been removed, and 0 torrents will ever be removed."
