10k people received a letter from a law company because they streamed some video on one website. its huge on the german webs right now. that law company managed to get their hands on a shitton of ip addresses. no one knows how.
 
Thankfully juniors can't make threads.

It's more than ten thousand. Numbers that are circulating are that up to a hundred thousand C&Ds have been sent.

That said, virtually all newspapers and lawyers recommend not to pay. There's significant doubt about whether it was illegal, how they got the IPs or whether they fooled the judges.

It definitely changed my mind about streaming though. But yeah, it sounds pretty scammy what they did. No idea how they go those addresses.

Even if they got the adresses legally, given how companies put their own videos on all sorts of sites it's virtually impossible for a user to know if a stream they're watching is illegal. Law requires however that the user had to know that he was breaking the law.

That's true. Basically everything is illegal now. According to them. I wonder if this will stay in the news or just vanish with the months. Some said they did it before Christmas because people are not in the mood to take care of that matter and rather pay.
 
German GAF, what do u think about that porn streaming scandal going on right now?

I'd guess that shit will fall apart sooner than you'd think. Some shit lawyer that doesn't earn enough money works together with some internet gangsters, they get some IP adresses in dubious fashion and start collecting money from people based on uncertain law. All they want is quick money from people stupid/frightened enough to pay instantly.

That shit will get torn apart by proper lawyers.

What's interesting, though, more than 10k people in Germany apparently watched "Amanda's secret" on redtube in just two days? I've got to check this shit out, man.

Hope so. Streaming is the last frontier. If that one fails, everything fails.

Pretty odd that the pattern of smaller clubs or clubs with smaller squads struggling to maintain good league form and challenge in Europe hasn't been picked up by some.

Look at Wigan this year, look at Fulham. Look at Birmingham. Look at Newcastle or Liverpool last year and further back when Pool were struggling league wise. Look at Stoke.

Not difficult. Poisoned chalice of the EL and all that.

Esbjerg finally collapsing. Can't believe they made it through the group stage and took a dump on Standard Liege. Definitely punching above their weight. Everyone will want to draw them for the knock out stage.
