Sue the mine in China that supplied the raw materials that went into the dielectric material in the capacitors in the power supply of the computer that facilitated the downloading of illegal content….
Really funny because you can’t sue a gun maker for the guns they sold killing people. I say funny but I mean that it’s so depressing I have to laugh to maintain sanity.
Yup, and you can sue Sig Sauer if someone shoots you with one of their guns. You’ll lose due to having no basis for their culpability, but you can try.
the difference is sig sauer has money, lawyers and a few centuries of lobbying on their side, plus being the right side of capital… your average torrent client developer has none of those to fight back with, and is the wrong side of capital.
Feel like Sig Sauer et. al. might at least make a amicus curiae though, considering the legal ramifications.

It’s not a serious suggestion, they’re just using this as a “fuck off” response to the record labels.
Maybe in response to this we should all download a bunch of new music, then delete it all because it’s complete garbage.
How did the saying go? [NOUN_1] don’t [VERB] [NOUN_2], it’s people that [VERB] [NOUN_2].
Clowns don’t entertain people, it’s people that kill clowns?
OOHHH Mad libs! I love these!
Rocks don’t lick buttholes, it’s people that lick buttholes.
Good luck sueing someone that lives in an unheard of African country with a population of one. This is exactly why people release software anonymously.

Is why I like to have multiple aliases and always connect via vpn… harder to sue me if they can’t figure out who I really am.
On that note, it would be really cool if there was a TOR-based github alternative (or even an I2P-based one) for hosting project repos somewhere that take-downs have no effect and servers can’t be seized. Anybody aware of anything like that? then again, I’m not even sure how I would configure
git/sshto use a TOR-based server lol
