We seriously need to get answers to a few questions from those BPI jokers , whose pocket is the blank cassette and "audio" cd levy money (earmarked for the industry and paid to them ) going into ? ,because if they intend to sue they should not be receiving this voluntary amount taken on all sales of those products .
Also the same applies to "damaged media" if my copy of a cd is damaged will they replace it at cost ? I have paid for the right to listen to it , more overcharging ?.
Another fiddle is to try to sell copy protected disks as ordinary ones complying with the cd orange book standard , they do not comply and this is blatant false advertising and against uk law.
I ask any solicitors amongst our ranks to furnish us with the relevant sections of the trades description act and so we can individually sue the record companies and see how they like 1000 ppl in different courts getting court orders to remove the offending item from store shelves.
Finally how can they talk about costs when I can have the same product inported from america for a whole lot les than it costs to buy it here ?
Whos agrees that they should put there own house in order before singling out a few hundred poor fools .
My advice to anyone who is caught is to sign away all your goods to a brother or sister(dated a few months back ) and plead poverty as they cant take what you dont own , including a computer "leased" to you
Are our right being breached here ? Where does the data protection act apply to ppl who are falsely accused of file sharing ? (the bpi court order is said to apply in cases of "suspected " file sharing) , hardly fair and just
I hope this is taken seriously by all the british ppl as a backdoor attack against our rights as I dont see why I should have my ISP reveal my private information just on a "Hunch" or a "suspected infringement" who will vet all the false allegations that may be used to trawl ISP files ?
