MP3 prosecution

Fuck me, look at this:

Scary.

Does this mean that it's now dangerous to take a laptop out
with some pirate MP3s on to DJ? 2,000 files isn't very many
at all, and a fine in millions of Euros?

Shite....!

what if he owned the sources of the mp3s tho? ie. cds,
vinyls, etc..

Who cares if he owns them or not?

Clubs pay a license for playing music anyway, so the music
industry was still making money.

He only had 2,000 files! And there's no evidence that he was
sharing them!

The fine is absolutely preposterous. Armed robbers and
murderers aren't even treated as harshly as this......

We should organise a boycott day, where no-one buys music as
a protest.

he won't pay so much. it's just for the media, like it has
been several times in US of A.

How can a person pay 1.4*106 new european money.
Even if one sells his soul, he won't gather this amount.

He was probably fined so much for the reason that you would
get a hefty fine for playing an unlicenced video in a venue
with a lot of people.

it is fucking outrageous tbh. injustice is always so harsher
than justice.

The police raided a nightclub as part of a crackdown on....
piracy? What? If he truly is a "well known" DJ then 1.4
million euros was probably his fee for the night. It must be
something that the nightclub owner's dodgy and the police
want to fuck him over.

I've never heard of anyone being fined so much for playing
an unlicensed video........

I really don't think that even the best-known DJs are paid
1.4 million euros for one night.........

It's a fair cop - Hopefully he'll have to sell his pad and
his record collexion and work in a burger bar.

comp?

No, because it's not illegal to have mp3s in a personal
setting. It is because he played them in public and got paid
for doing do.

I don't know the Royalty situation with that - I expect it
would be a similar set-up as they have with radio stations.

Why are people acting like this is a martyr ? These fuckers
get paid enough, they can afford to buy their records rather
than using mp3s, which are an inferior quality! He was
playing everyone for a foo' and he got burnt!
