There is no jail time possible for civil cases. For jail to be a possibility the "state" (local/state/federal) would have to file a criminal case and the likelyhood of that is as close to zero as to make it meaningless.

Except that John Does #4-infinity will just use the existing PDFs to distribute the existing stuff. This only works for new stuff that hasn't been released yet.

It doesn't matter how much the court grants in damages. Real damages that can be collected can only go as high as the defendant can actually pay. The courts can award millions in damages, but WotC will be lucky to collect tens of thousands.

Its obviously a failure since its not on its third printing.:erm:

Well that certainly wasn't a reaction WotC probably thought was coming. That kind of analysys by someone as big name as Ryan Dancey can't be good PR.

A little more info for us to digest from ars technica's article with quotes from Wizards of the Coast PR Manager Tolena Thorburn. Wizards of the Coast fails saving throw against pirates - Ars Technica Her quotes are as follows On the removal of the files At what point was the action...

The show may not have covered the subject in the best way. What I found interesting and that pushed the envelope is that they covered the issue at all in the way that they did. Suicide has been shown plenty before, and even on network TV. What is not shown however is a regular character...

*Please note this is an attempt at humor and not a real press release.

This is what I am having trouble wrapping my mind around. What could possibly be that important? There is zero chance that suing 8 people will stop piracy or even reduce it. The RIAA sued thousands with no success. The D&D pirate market it not supplied by just 8 people. So this can't be it...

I was shocked by what House did as well. Never expected them to go there quite that way. Now that was pushing the envelope. Heroes could learn a few things from House and the Sarah Connor Chronicles about how to deal with characters for dramatic effect and how to have that effect have real...

One thing bothered be as a network administrator. Where were the battery backups on the important servers and computers? I know, dramatic effect, but still.

Despite the statements that this is about piracy, I am wondering if this has anything to do with the GAMA Trade Show next week when they will be facing all the retailers face to face.

Darn Ninja (its not just pirates out there you know), beat me to the punch. Oh how you speak the truth. I'm sure he has already started packing his bags and in be Vegas in days* *The GAMA Trade Show is next week and I am fairly confident he will be there.

No they can't. He was shown on national TV as a terrorist. There is no way this can all be salvaged without a giant reset button that wipes away this entire season.

I'm mostly giving up this this show, just sticking around until the end of this volume. The writers seem to be only interested in short term actions with no concept of hoew those actions fit the characters or the story as a whole. B5 showed that you can do long term arcs without sacrificing...

Yes, sueing 6 people will make a difference. Just ask the RIAA, they've sued thousands and it sure has helped them.

Yep, I thought it turned out great. I was leary at first but after they explained the reason it made great sense. I liked the way it let the writers talk to the fans directly while still being in character.

Adventureland sure looks like it bombed.

Yes, but the show has always consisted of people playing catch with the idiot ball. Don't forget that before Syler, Danko interacted with Suresh and his Super-Stupidity power that is contagious.

Aww, come on. I think Syphi would be the perfect place for Rock of Love or A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. :lol:
