SOCA has taken control of this domain name.

That word again:<p>"The majority of music files that were available via this site were <i>stolen</i> from the artists."<p>I only hope that SOCA can track down the files and return them to the artists.

Did we just get trapped by clicking the above link? There have been cases were people just idly clicking on a link have been deemed to be guilty even if it was just as a result of curiosity. See: <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9899151-38.html" rel="nofollow">http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9899151-38.html</a><p>Shouldn't there be warnings before people post links like that which may have unintended consequences for the link clickers?

Why the concern for "young" artists? I guess once you hit a certain age, your value as a propaganda pawn diminishes?

What's SOCA's policy on Data Protection? Since they're admitting they've taken my details don't they have to comply with UK law in that area? I came to it via the link on the BBC <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17039722" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17039722</a>

That was the most guilt-trip-laden copy I have ever read.

At least it was SOCA, not CHAOS or SPECTRE. Then we'd be in real trouble.<p>Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?" Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die."

That's a pretty aggressive message they posted. If you have downloaded, you face maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and an "unlimited" fine. Unlimited? Is this how they're raising money for anti-piracy programs now? And SOCA has the capability of monitoring and investigating me? I'm not even in the UK, and I never visited the site before. This is shameless fear-mongering.
