When are they gonna get it through their heads?

The "brick and mortar" business model doesn't work in the P2P era?

When will they realize a larger audience will be reached if a movie is released in theaters, DVD and online at the same time?

When will they realize that rising gas prices are from the hybrid car lobbyists?

I learned of Shoutwire through Torrentspy too.

I don't see how Torrentspy made any money to be fined for, but as a citizen scared of crime in the street I am glad our legal system have our priorities right...
