Iraq citizens find pamphlets posted showing a fake US military document stating plans to subjugate their neighborhood, and a picture of Buddy Christ that they have mistaken as Imam Mahdi.

I would have to agree with the coalition spokesman.

Where is the film equivalent of RIAA at? They should sue the heck out of anyone with those posters!!!11!

I think it's funny that they're upset at the Buddy Jesus figure since the Catholic church wasn't exactly happy about it when the film came out.

Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) would be the file equivalent of the RIAA.

Yeah, I was referring to the ruthlessness of RIAA. The MPAA hasn't been anywhere near as bad as them.

Well they haven't done things like sue a dead mans family to recoup potential losses but they have filed plenty of lawsuits.

The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has once again made their enforcement efforts against the P2P community visible. The last publicly announced effort by the MPAA dates back to July 27 of 2005, when the MPAA sued 5 individuals in Texas who refused, for whatever reason, to settle. This doesn't mean the MPAA hasn't been busy, as today's announcement represents round 10 against alleged P2P pirates.

Overall, the MPAA has been less aggressive against the P2P community than the RIAA. Instead, the MPAA and its global affiliate the MPA have chosen to pursue physical pirates. Spurred by the intense piracy trade in Asia, the MPA and MPAA have, with the help of local police, shut down dozens of optical plants and confiscated millions of CD/DVD discs.

I've received 2 complaints through my ISP from the MPAA, once because of a roommate. Luckily they can't do much to us up here other than send off a letter to the ISPs which may or may not forward it on to the user.

This is all another good reason to stick with the newsgroups instead of using p2p. Downloading from the newsgroups is pretty much anonymous unless giganews (or any other service provider) decides to track what you download instead of just the bandwidth used. P2P shares your IP with the world unless things have changed and you can mask your IP these days.

I'm surprised that muslims being outraged over more asinine shit is still even newsworthy. Those fucking crybabies going off every time something offends them is roughly consistant with the riding and setting of the sun.
