ANTI-HACKING BILL
Supplied by :-) Rab C Nesbitt Cleaned Up By:-( Pyth0n
After someone close to me got busted for cracking games it came to my
attention ..DO WE REALLY KNOW THE LAWS ON PIRACY AND SOFTWRE COUNTERFEITING???
I think not . Neither do - Solicitors - Police - Trading standards - ELSPA -
FAST - And especially the fat B*&()$d JOHN LOADER.
My friend, some of you who read this know who he is!!! Tried to get a
solicitor who knew about these trademarks act(s), could he ? NO and why not ?
Because Anyone who has ever been busted on these acts have pleaded guilty to
them and not argued the fact in a crown court. These laws (if anyone who reads
this has been convicted or pleaded guilty to these ancient acts contact me at
address on loons docs 10 or greater) if you can call them laws are so outdated
that they can virtually charge you with what they want. My friends case has
been adjourned once again for 2 months so they can prefer other charges
against him. Now they first busted him over 4 months ago whay havent they had
time to charge him with more shit??? because they are clutching at straws so
if the original charges dont stick they have got something else to charge him
with ..IE :-> Stolen computer equipment which he never had in his home , and
yet they took every - disk - telephone - modem - computer - hard disks - etc
etc etc ,,his 9 year old son was at the top of the stairs crying at the
policeman not to take his amiga 1200 away (what he got 2 months beforhand for
his birthday) the policeman said "ITS OK WE WILL LEAVE IT THERE " he came home
from school was it there ??? was it shit they cleaned his house out of
everything even a zx81 which was broken in 1985 .!!!!
Now he finds out from a barrister that his solicitor has found, knows these
trademarks acts, that if he gets any computer equipment in his home again they
can come and take the lot away again if they have reasonable suspicion there
is counterfeit software at his home ...IT means they can come to your home
time and time again and take your equipment off you when they feel like!!!
A well known software house was involved with his bust and the very next day
went onto local radio bragging how they've smashed a cracking group and was
intesively involved with the month long operation. Now i dont know about them
but collusion in this country is against the law and my friends barrister will
have them over a barrel. Up to now that software house and one other have
helped FAST by saying they will stand by the charges against him and go to
court (software houses pay fast to bust people). now his barrister is going
to take these charges to a crown court jury (which the software houses will
have to pay for at £20000 per day, plus) How many of those 12 jurors will have
kids (or themselves) who have computers - consoles - hand helds- etc etc.
they will know themselves just how much that little 3 1/2 inch disk costs
TOO MUCH ...
i learned this week (thanx den) that a well known bbs busted over 18 months
ago still has not been charged and they still have all his machines etc they
confiscated off him. What are they trying to do ??? Scare us all into hiding
our beloved machines and forgetting about them ??? Well i for one dont think
it'll happen. Because these so called trademarks acts only apply to >>>
1. CRACKERS OF COPYRIGHTED SOFTWARE
2. SELLERS OF CRACKED COPYRIGHTED SOFTWARE (WHICH IS HARD TO PROVE AS THEY
CHARGE THEM WITH COUNTERFEITING SOFTWARE WHICH IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CHARGE)
and all you booties and market traders can get away with this but ime not
telling you how , you shouldnt be doing it !!!!!
All of you kids (and dads & mums) with cracked (copied) games at home dont
worry !!!! there is no law against having it in your home for your own use.
Same as videos but ime sure they'll bring a law out for that soon ...
ANYWAY heres The Bill of every act so you can all see for yourself
