Hi guys, I just wanted to call out an inappropriate term I’ve seen used sometimes: Civil Disobedience. It’s not just civil disobedience when you pirate something privately, you need to do it publicly and dare the authorities to do something about it.

So an example here would be to set up a massive leech party and advertise it specifically as civil disobedience. Say all manner of things from all manner of copyright holders would be transmitted, and try and get news coverage. That’s civil disobedience.

Just downloading a movie because you want to watch it is not. OK thanks for your time.

    You must do it “loudly”. You have to seed in front of the prime minister, or get the news to cover you doing it, and put your real name out there.

      The definition I see says it’s just…

      the refusal to comply with certain laws or to pay taxes and fines, as a peaceful form of political protest.

      So…I think you’re wrong in this.
