MPAA Targets TV Download Sites 810
KenDaMan writes "ZDNet.com is reporting that the MPAA is targeting websites that serve as traffic directors for BitTorrent swaps. From the article: 'Continuing its war on Internet file-swapping sites, the Motion Picture Association of America said Thursday that it has filed lawsuits against a half-dozen hubs for TV show trading.' Apparently it is OK to record TV as long as your aren't sharing it."

Instead of spending $500 on hookers, I can set up some cameras and pay a porn star $500 and cast myself as the leading man! Then I even have it on VIDEO afterwards!
Porn profit margins, you ain't kidding. You've solved the puzzle:
1) (some crap)
2) ???
3) profit!

Durrrr! That's what I've been doing the last 2 years. I believe they call it 'BitTorrent' - not sure it's a service run by the networks though. If it isn't, they should be.
