ISPs providing addresses of p2p users to the IRMA? (1 Viewer)

huh... so what... use a proxy? 5 seconds work?

Or is there better sites these days? I'm not a mad fan of looking for those ad-filled streaming websites.



or the networks cop on and stop the region nonsense in this day and age? ha just kidding.
 
Kavanagh, who is still chairman of Irma (the Irish Recorded Music Association), has been at the forefront of lobbying against illegal downloading for many years. “Through my work with Irma, Ireland to a large degree is now the poster boy for Europe for the amount of litigation we’ve done with ISPs [internet service providers].”
In 2011, he says, Irish copyright laws were changed by statutory instrument, allowing Irma to attack piracy via a three- pronged strategy: the legal snagging of peer-to-peer file-sharing, website blocking, and a URL delisting programme currently being developed with the assistance of Google (which Kavanagh estimates will be “fully operational by early September”).

Christ that man is clueless.


But sure a bit more censorship, why not. THE INTERNET IS TOTALLY OVER ANYWAY.

Interesting but not wholly surprising. Unfortunate that the new model of Spotify/Youtube hardly remunerates artists any better.

I have actually noticed that it's actually a lot harder than it was a few years ago to find what you want through torrent sites. The odd time I try to replace an album where I've lost the physical copy I often can't find it. Particularly anything remotely obscure. Perhaps I'm a contrarian but this feels somehow worse. The Spotify model weighs heavily against up and coming musicians yet now I can't even get a copy of albums I've already purchased for my old iPod.
