What B.S. !
These people will do ANYTHING for money and if they make enough they'll slug it out in court because they still come out with tens of million in their bank account. For anyone with a CLUE the Beta Max decision has no bearing whatsoever on Piracy. Theft and distribution of stolen property is and always has been a crime and now the criminals are whining as if the laws were different for them than the rest of the World.

Here's a CLUE: You steal or facilitate theft and you go to PRISON and get fined Big Bucks.

Enjoy your stay at the Iron Bar Hotel - EXACTLY where all Pirates and P2P PIMPS belong.
