I see this website www.techwhack.com stealing content from every major
news network and publishing on it's own site as a blog without even god
damm courtesy to specify where they stole the content from.

How are you folks dealing this with ?

Copyright infringement is basically a civil crime, and if you tell the
offending website's hosting company and they don't put a stop to it,
they become an accessory after the fact and can be sued along with the
offending site's owner.  Web hosting companies aren't stupid, they
know that condoning a copyright-infringement situation puts them in
financial jeapordy.  Report it to the site's hosting company, if that
doesn't do the trick rent a pitbull lawyer.

It's a shame there isn't some association folks can join that keeps
half a dozen or more pitbull lawyers on retainer, both for copyright
infringement of website content, and of copyrighted software.  Maybe
there is such an association but I'm not aware of it.  Somebody could
probably make a nice profit off the difference between membership dues
and attorney retainers.  If there was such an association it seems
likely to me that thousands and thousands of website owners and
software developers would be more than happy to kick in a hundred
bucks a year, two hundred, who knows.

Actually, not true in the U.S.  Congress passed a law around four or
five years ago (I'd have to go back and look it up) which basically said
hosting companies, ISP's, etc. are immune from lawsuits regarding
content posted by others.

You're referring to the god of the Israelites, also known as The Lord,
Yahweh, and Jehovah, as well as God.

She apparently is referring to the god of the internet.

The ten commandments starts out, "I am The Lord, thy god, thou shalt
have no other gods before thee."

But since Jehovah came first, and the god of the internet only arrived
once Al Gore invented an internet that had already existed the better
part of two decades, the god of the internet is *after*, rather th

Are you certain of that, Jerry?  It sounds like something Congress
would do.  Guess it's down to pitbull lawyers or a visit from uncle
Guido, eh?

Yep.

The reasoning was - ISP's, etc. cannot be expected to monitor everything
on their systems for potential illegal postings, etc. that they didn't
make.

It's similar to the phone company - if you were to make a threatening
phone call, the phone company would not be responsible.  Or, if you sent
a threatening letter, the Postal Service or whomever would not be held
responsible.

This also included hosting companies, who cannot be held responsible for
illegal postings by their customers.
