Science can now show the MPAA is fallacious in their take down notice methodology. To use that methodology in a court of law and to use a scientifically peer reviewed paper such as the one presented here is asking for a an acquittal on the defendant's position.

The media mafia needs to turn away from hounding the end user, focus on illicit profit.

No doubt they will take the printer and hub to court! Maybe we should start a fund for the hardware!? Lol I would love to see what a DMCA take down notice would look like for a damn laser printer.

WOW! all cases should be thrown out! If i was accused of killing someone and my DNA didn't match i would most likely not be found guilty! OJ had more than that & he wasn't found guilty...
what else can i say!

Too funny, I can see the scenario now.
Printer accused, tried and sentenced. Must pay $250,000 to MPAA. Printer starts printing out funny money to pay fine and is busted for counterfeiting. Then printer is tried and sentenced to the federal pen where unspeakable things happen to it in the shower.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh the horror!
I hope those morons read these forums and see what DA's they are!

This is too funny, I wonder how they got the laser printer to look as if it was exchanging data via bittorrent.

Quite a flawed technique really. They use the list of IP's in the BT client and are able to simply assume that these "peers" are actually exchanging data, rather than connecting directly to the peer as they do with the likes of kazaa and limewire.
It wasn't me, it was the printer.... honest guv!

This morning I read that the printers were actually being forced into their life of crime by the WAP. I hope they throw the book at him ;-)

Not everybody - just the list of people the tracker says it fits. Come on, they'd have to go through hundreds of gloves to actually let everybody try it on.

Unfortunantly, watching the downloaded movie on that tiny, LCD display on the front of the printer just sucks.
I hope those printers get what they deserve!
15 years to Life... and I believe that the Lifecycle on one of those printers is about 500,000 prints... they could be in for a very long time indeed.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to print out each frame and put together a flip book to watch the movie. The big problem is you need really big hands....
