Stop the Greek hostage crisis!

Though it is kind of worrying that our Grecian members on this forum might lose their jobs or scholarship if the government defaults.

Secondly, advertising generates revenue based on visits and the "contents of interest" the siteowner provides. The contents are only links, not illegal media. Again, it is like assuming he "intentionally" wanted to redistribute the pirated media, when he is "simply providing resources to the visitors of his site", just like any other web-owner. So where the heck does the "copyright infringement" come from when he is not the person redistributing it? So if this spells "copyright infringement", then what about search engines and Google? They are providing links too should the person want to search for it, and that service is "intentionally made available despite knowing the consequences", so why is it not being attacked for "copyright infringement"? This is an abuse of the extradition treaty. Queen Liz should just give US the royal finger and put forward discussions to reduce the troop strength in Afghanistan if the House of Loonies decides to send him to the US of A.

And to even stretch the argument more from the plaintiff's side (though it might sound ludicrous, but it is entirely possible if the judge is dumb as the one convicting TPB), the webhost is simply acting as an agent. But that would be immediately shot down because : 1. There is no principal. 2. The "agent" is doing it out of goodwill or personal interests 3. There is no contract formed by any party for this transaction, it just happened by a search-call-get opportunity. This fiasco is just another case of legal advisors ballooning "consideration" and tying it to an assumed "intent", under contract law (if it applies, since there isn't any contract to be formed in the first place), his provision of the links is just an invitation to treat, not to form an agreement of any kind (unless he has an indemnity "I Agree" clause prior to the redirection). Maybe it would work more if the media companies hire marketing advisors too instead of solely legal advisors - when distribution is being whacked like this, it means that the business model has to change because the world does not revolve around the damned company. EDIT : Here is a humourous editorial about the current market fears which makes quite alot of sense - Inflation AND deflation is nuts! Quote:

Obama overrules his Office of Legal Counsel.
Says America is not engaged in hostilities in Lybia. ... ... ... I don't even know what to say. Really? Really? Realize that Obama could probably get Congress to authorize combat in Lybia if he just asked. But instead of doing that he's decided to tell us that firing missiles and killing people in Lybia is not "hostilities", leading to a separation of powers conflict and a Constitutional crisis. WTF is he doing? Why is he doing this? It makes. No. Sense!
