Since when do you think Canadian laws apply to a Swedish site (the site spreading the illegal software), on an international public forum, as answer to a question by a Dutchman for a game falling under American copyright?


Im not trying to be a pain, instead im trying to explain to you why your original statement is wrong. The DMCA, (aka millenium act) is US law, but its basically two UN treaties so its kind of considered "international common law". That swedish site is the 23rd most visited website in the world (alexia), and it if were hosting any illegal content (bittorrent is perfectly legal in sweden), it would have been long gone. Bittorrent is all just metadata and contains no copyrighted material, and for "backup" purposes, whether EA likes it or not, no matter the country, EVERYWHERE around the world you are ALLOWED LEGALLY to backup media (music, movies, games), dispite what EA wants you to think.

I would know, im a moderator on the world's 8th largest bittorrent tracker/website.
