Does this mean they will go after Limewire next? This is going to force the next generation of P2P to be created. Naspter --> Pirate Bay --> whatever. I think part of Pirate Bay's problem is their name.
I believe that soon everyone is going to keep a copy of their files in huge servers. Will they still be considered their files, will those files be policed? I myself have seen a boot print of Wolverine, it's not even in the movies yet. Will this stop me from see a finished print in the movies, no. Will this stop me from buying the finished DVD for my home collection, no. In my case there is no change but I can see that others will be happy with an unfinished product and might make some money selling it. Is this unfair to the owners, yes. Will they try to prevent this, yes. If they could they would close all the Pawn shops and Flea markets of the world. Every reseller would have to pay a tax to them. There would be no libraries. People couldn't leave their CDs/Records/DVDs/books....to their family. You would have to pay for the same works over and over again, forever. I believe that is their dream, but it's not going to happen.
