This place should be banned...

In another thread I was discussing the Jimmy Smith documentary “Jimmy O Smith.” I found someone that has this film. He is willing to give me a copy. He doesn’t think it could be seeded on dime. He had tried to find out if there is copy write on this film, but hasn't gotten a direct answer. He doesn’t want to violate the dime's rules on material that is protected by law. I agreed. But he offered to put it up on http://www.demonoid.com/. I never heard of this place. I went to the site and people are openly trading commercially available music. How does a place like that stay up and active and not shut down? Aren't record company's lawyers aware of of places like this?

Ther's over 990 jazz records seeded there. Safe to say, almost all are commercially available.

It's a repertory of Bittorrent files, a sort of Google of filesharing. The site doesn't host any files.

A similar website hosted in Sweden - Pirate Bay - was recently taken down by authorities, but is now back online after it was established they don't violate copyright laws.

It's like, "I didn't start the forest fire, the Cigarette did when I trough it on the ground". Still breaking the law in my opinion.

If it doesn't violate any laws, it's not breaking the law. Whether you like it or not, that's how it is.

I know it not, but the artists are still being screwed out of money.
