No surprise there BitTorrent and the users who use the system are just as guilty as are other P2P file sharing services out there on the net. He got just what was coming to him.
BTW iMesh just became a paying subscriber service. And Maybe more P2P services my follow with an emphasis on maybe.

Chan Nai-ming was found guilty of infringing copyright after he made three films available. Hong Kong police claim he is the first person charged with copyright offences as a result of using BitTorrent. BitTorrent enables large files to be distributed by breaking them up into smaller files and using peer- to-peer delivery. It holds no central database of files. The 38-year old man put Daredevil, Red Planet and Miss Congeniality onto the network, according to the BBC. Nai-ming was freed on bail of HK$5,000 (£362) and must return to court for sentencing 7 November. The maximum sentence under Hong Kong law is four years in prison and a fine. Hong Kong Customs was quoted by AFX and BBC saying that illegal file- sharing had fallen 80 per cent since the arrest which suggests a chronic lack of illegal material in the administrative region. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/25/bittorrent_man_convicted/ Sir Hugh of Bognor -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
