brb I'm getting popcorn, this will be :krad2: to follow.
Wait guys. I have a wireless router, that means if the waves carrying the data hits me I'm transporting illegally downloaded music :byodood:
[QUOTE=lazyguy;22796603]Book publishers have been doing this for ages. Google has been uploading books without consent for years. They're getting too big for their boots and need to be brought down a peg.[/QUOTE] Maybe somebody already replied to you and I will get clocks, but Google only uploads books that copyright has run out or they have/were given permission to scan.
By the way google pays millions and millions for Google-Books.
I foresee this working perfectly and resulting on a fantastic victory for anti-piracy supporters.
[quote]The Authors Guild, the publishing industry and Google entered into a settlement agreement October 28, 2008, with Google agreeing to pay a total of $125 million to rights-holders of books they had scanned, to cover the plaintiffs' court costs, and to create a Book Rights Registry.

[QUOTE=Ekalektik_1;22797785]Since this is the BRITISH phonographic industry, is it safe to assume that whatever they do is not going to affect people elsewhere?[/QUOTE] If the BPI succeed then their counterparts in other countries will try and do it too. The BPI will set a precedent of it working or not working to sue Google.
Next step, sue Seagate for making drives that you can store music on!

This sure is great PR for the record industry.
This is what always happens... Someone starts wanting stuff, and then they take it too far... Well, Google is TOO far. They are stupidly powerful, how the hell do they think they are going to get away with this?
[QUOTE=Squad;22799551]This is what always happens... Someone starts wanting stuff, and then they take it too far... Well, Google is TOO far. They are stupidly powerful, how the hell do they think they are going to get away with this?[/QUOTE] Get away with what? Being a search engine?

I think he means the music industry is going too far wait nevermind i only read half that post wait no, he's saying going after Google is too far. I think
[QUOTE=Zeke129;22797120]I think you read phonographic as pornographic[/QUOTE] No I just wasn't aware that this was 1870.
Sometimes it looks like the music industry is fighting a desperate fight to the death. Like a cornered animal

[QUOTE=lazyguy;22796603]Book publishers have been doing this for ages. Google has been uploading books without consent for years. They're getting too big for their boots and need to be brought down a peg.[/QUOTE] Actually, nearly all books released on Google Books for free are public domain
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;22799859]No I just wasn't aware that this was 1870.[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? Black metal sounds GREAT on the phonograph I use it all the time
Google is going to be like...dictator of the internet in the future...
Okay to all the Google haters out there, it's a fucking search engine. Just because the Android platform is kicking the iOS's ass doesn't mean you can just hate on it for no reason.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;22796898]Libraries have most of their books donated by the public. Same with CDs and DVDs as well.[/QUOTE] At least in Czech Republic, every book publisher publishing there is bound by law to give one copy to the National Library.
Sue Everybody.
[QUOTE=Panda X;22821087]Sue Everybody.[/QUOTE] This pretty much sums up what the recording industry is doing. Besides dieing.
Suing Google in this day and age is like suing God or the entire world or something. [I]You just can't do it.[/I] [editline]06:24AM[/editline] There's going to be a Google space station in the future. And System Shock will happen.
[QUOTE=Ban Evasion Alt;22798666]Next step, sue Seagate for making drives that you can store music on![/QUOTE] In the unlikely case that this case gets through, that would be the next step. It's too stupid for words.
Google is God. Nobody can take on the Google.

I would never defend BPI or the RIAA for anything.
Google should just buy some nuclear weapons. Then invite all the representatives to talk. Then blow that place up.
