Adult Movie Producer Threatens BitTorrent Users With Physical Violence

It's well known the fact that file-sharing and especially websites or applications that enhance the distribution of pirated content, mostly affect bands and music/movie companies because this is what people use to download from the web. Because of that, copyright holders and media companies around the world filed complaints and sent users to judge in a desperate move to stop piracy or just reduce the consequences of this phenomenon.

The Biohazard bassist, Evan Seinfeld, had an interview with the folks at Metal Edge, talking about the consequences of file sharing and BitTorrent. Unfortunately, the words he used are quite unacceptable and some file-sharers out there may find them offensive but there are some paragraphs of the interview with Metal Edge (censored):

Downloading free music is stealing. There’s no other way about it. The same people who don’t have the balls to walk into a record store, take things off the shelf, and put it in their pocket because they are afraid that that are going to get busted think nothing about going on line and downloading a band’s music. That’s the way the band makes a living. If you like that band, you shouldn’t download their music for free because it can make the band go out of business. I know it’s not very rock and roll to say that all the kids are going ‘f*** Metallica, we are going to steal their music.’ OK, how about if the guys from Metallica will go into your father’s hardware store and steal a hammer off the shelf. We’re seeing it in the adult industry as well.

Do people wake up in the morning, look into the mirror, and say, "I steal other people s*** all day"? If so, you should know that you are a s******, and if I catch you I will kick the s*** out of you.

We send out a lot of legal notices and have sued people. But usually by the time we send the letter they have already taken the stuff down. The real problem is these P2P bit torrent sites because the host of the site says they aren’t legally responsible, even though they really are.

If you are going to steal from someone, steal programs from Microsoft ‘cause they can afford it, but don’t steal from creative artists who make movies and music and TV programs for your enjoyment because you become part of the problem. You’re a shoplifter. I know it’s very heavy metal to get s*** for free. That’s why there are no more hardcore bands out there anymore. They are all out of business. Are you happy you killed it?
