bit-tech.net | MPAA is at it again…
> Meet Shawn Hogan. He’s your average 30-something computer programmer, probably enjoys walks in the park, candlelit dinners, and whatnot. He also likes the movie Meet the Fockers, and bought it on DVD.
> So imagine his surprise when his phone rang, and a lawyer on the other end said the MPAA were sueing him for downloading the movie on BitTorrent. Not only did he deny the claim, but even offered to show them the DVD he had purchased, which he reasoned would illustrate how little sense it made to download the movie.
He’s a self-made millionaire, and wovs to fight back even if it could well cost him over $100,000 in legal fees. I love people who stand up to RIAA and MPAA, and refuse to be bullied into settling outside of court.
