But what does it all MEAN, Bazil...?

Why would hotfile, or any file host, save ip info on users?

Most likely they'll only go after biggest copyrighted data sharers, and leave downloaders alone, there's too many of them, and I doubt its even legal to use USA law against Europeans, for example.

The issue I'm not quite sure some people in this thread is grasping is that any sort of favorable ruling would set a precedent for similar lawsuits. So if they win the lawsuit against hotfile then they would turn around and sue megaupload, fileserve... etc down the list.

They realized that it's a complete waste of time to take down individual links to pirated movies or even entire websites. It's a never ending game of wack-a-mole with 10 new sites popping up to replace every site taken down.

Their solution is to solicit the IP address of any one caught uploading copyrighted materials to turn over to the countries police. International copyright laws are enforceable in virtually every country with a few notable exceptions, eg China.

That's looking at the worst possible outcome. Most likely hotfile will appeal endlessly dragging the suit out for years to come.

interesting, looking at that pic of the MPAA's request for user data, they want the same thing twice xD H&I are the same.
well as far as i understand from it they go through hotfile to get 500 top affiliates, so they're just trying to get all info from most sites using hotfile as a passage way

For the record I have complete and utter faith that all of the fine users of animetake.com only upload legal material.

Meh. I skimmed the article. Something about Hollywood and the MPAA. I don't think hollywood gives a crap about japanese cartoons.
