Not sure if this was posted previously. From site
Digg. Someone there submitted this article about
Torrent Freak, on Odex.
And here are some of the more popular reader's comments off
Digg:
Isnt that extortion?
You know what I'd say to a letter like that? "Hello garbage"
*toss*
Sorry, an IP proves nothing and a letter like that is called
EXTORTION.
A single drop of water just appeared to the right of about 3
million anime fan's faces.
"In 2007 a decision was made in the company to start targeting
people who share their material via BitTorrent after they claimed
their sales had dropped 60-70 percent in just 2 years."
Maybe this is because these anime shows are cheap, lame, and are
played on adult swim, and really have little to no adult
appeal.
Never ever respond to these letters.
never even admit you received them.
throw them out, never sign for a letter either.
And some reader's comments off Torrent Freak:
He commented on the local news media that the gloating comments
were made a couple of months ago, where it in fact had been made on
the 1st of August, making it more like a couple of weeks ago.
Word for word, where do you think this guys integrity
stands?
I will understand him if he had targeted PEOPLE(above 20, who work
and gets paid) instead of children, I mean come on, you expect
every 12 year old kid on the planet to fully know about copyright
and stuff? Charging them 3k? Seriously, at least give them a
warning first or charge them for less, like you know 100 bucks.
