it seems canadian ISP cogeco is sending out notices to its users warning them to stop using the bit torrent tracker suprnova.org.
however the most amusing fact is that the cable co is sending out DMCA notices, as its US law it has no affect on canadians...
dreamworks, a subsidiary of walt disney has sent a notice to the swedish served site suprnova.org citing a violation of the DMCA, the site responded to dreamworks with the following.
Quote:
As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe. Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here. For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.
Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium, will result in
a) a suit being filed for harassment
b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for sending frivolous legal threats.
It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ****ing morons, and that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons
