why that was nice

Clinton was another issue. For you to draw that comparison, Clinton would have to have been pursued for prosecution about something that NEVER happened. Then, get convicted about lying about that something that never happed!!! We know in fact, with Clinton, that it did. So, the comparison is invalid.

there was no underlying crime in either case.

I am not willing to concede that there was no underlying crime in the Libby case, that can be debated ad nauseum, but you are - therefore you should also support Clinton.

...let's be real. Re-read my previous post. Libby could not lie if there was nothing to lie about!!!

If that was really true, then why did he lie?

I am too poor for dslr.

Does it matter what kind of SD cards i buy? I was thinking i should pick up a 2gig card but i don't know if i spend the extra monies for a ultra fast l33t card or just get the cheap one?

That's the point, Rich B., he didn't lie! That's what you people don't seem to get! They simply took the testimony of reporters like Chris Mathews as fact, without question, and cross examined Libbey for 8 solid hours...trying to get him to make a mistake in his recollection of the timeline events....about a crime that never exhisted in the first place!! It would be like trying to cross examine you for 8 hours about how you slapped me....and you have no arms! Everyone would know you could not have done it, but when you give your testimony 16 times, and change your statement just one time......YOU LIED!!! That's just what happened here. That is exactly what happened in this case. So, please explain to me HOW he could lie about outing Valerie Plame, when it was known that it was Richard Armitage who leaked her name to Bob Novak?

Faulkton, so you know what the underlying crime was. Do tell...

Gotcha! New MPAA Site Tries to Trick Users into Illegally Downloading Movies

Also offers the ability to download video content using a custom client which also scans if the user has downloaded copyrighted files.

MediaDefender Inc, the "leading provider of anti-piracy solutions in the emerging Internet-Piracy-Prevention (IPP) industry" has launched a website called "MiiVi" dedicated to busting those who both like to download copyrighted content as well as those who already have.

The site is apparently the latest ploy in the ongoing battle against illegal file-sharing and literally takes the game to new heights. It offers WHOLE DOWNLOADS of movies as well as the ability to download and install a "miraculous" new program that offers "fast and easy downloading all in one great site." There's just one problem: the site's registered to MediaDefender Inc. and it's army of prying eyes are just nipping at the bud to take down those who are unaware

The site was apparently registered on March 11, 2007. and unfortunately who knows how many poor souls have fell victim to this latest malfeasance by an MPAA sponsored organization. Luckily however, Brokep over at the Pirate Bay gave me a heads up on the situation and I report back to you with haste to avoid the site and warn others to do so as well.

entrapment?

that was my first thought.

 

[Chevillac 5,000+ posts]

But the MPAA and RIAA think they are above the law.

Above anything, they think they are.

 

[bikinpunk 10+ year member]

entrapment?

Nope, noone was forced to go to that site. They did it on their own free will. Same thing as setting up a drug bust, or the like.

Back to the topic... I've heard of the RIAA setting up false downloads to lure people into downloading certain cd's and then serving them with a huge fine. My advice; only visit trusted torrent sites. And, heck, don't download movies, and for god's sakes don't share anything you get. Or, best of all, don't d/l anything at all...

They probably wouldn't charge you with what you downloaded from them, only the stuff that their scanner picks up and reports to them. You, the user installed the program that reports you to the MPAA. How is that entrapment?

It wouldn't be entrapment if you bought some drugs and then called the police and told them you had drugs.
