Metatron, I get the feeling throughout this discussion that you're privy to details of copyright law that the rest of us might not be. I don't suppose you might share some precedents, if only for my own edification?
|
Yes and no. I am privy on the knowledge of what can and cannot be. To cite precedent would take time but can be done. To make a long story short. I have helped the EM on several occasions curb stomp certain groups who found it enjoyable to pirated material. As of late I have had little time due to the demands of work.

Which "chan" board are we referring to here? Ni-chan and similar boards got nailed repeatedly because they posted Japanese warez on sites centered in Japan, what'd they think would happen? Additionally, 4chan doesn't just rip off foreign material (not saying that that's okay, either, before anyone jumps on that bandwagon AGAIN), they ALSO loot domestic product, which AGAIN runs them afoul of domestic copyright law. Using those guys as established precedent of copyright enforcement is a REALLY bad idea, simply because there's NEVER a gray area with them.

No not 4 or Ni
While I am unaware of your preferences I am sure you know of a board called bbw chan and a late board called ssbbw chan. BBW chan has gone though 3 to 4 changes (not sure where they are now) and ssbbw chan is currently offline. These boards have and recently trafficked in pirated and legal bbw/ssbbw porn. they have been closed several times over due to their hosting of pictures and links to share material

So are Iran and China, and yes that IS hyperbole, but I trust you get the idea.

I think it would be more accurate to say that those sites would never be picked up by a spider; and would be subject to deletion upon government finding.

While you could affirm such a motion it would not be viable. For a person to say, "I don't know if any of you saw," makes the claim that for me it was unclear but to clarify to those who were unaware. Plus if such a claim were even to be picked up by a lawyer the filling of a demure would assure that the case would never see a court room.
