The first known pirated copy of “The Simpsons Movie” to make it onto the Internet was tracked to a home in Australia.

According to Australian authorities said, the first known pirated copy of “The Simpsons” to be uploaded to the Internet was tracked to a home raided by Australian police earlier today.

Police ordered a 21-year-old Sydney man to appear in a Sydney court in October when he will be formally charged, the Australian Federal Police said. Details of the likely charge or charges and fines have yet to be made made public.

The MPAA said the investigation involved News Corp.’s Twentieth Century Fox movie studio, Australian police and the private investigation group Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft.

The MPAA said the illegal “Simpsons” copy was the first on the Internet and was recorded by a cell phone in a Sydney movie theater on July 26, hours before its release in most of the world.

“Within 72 hours of making and uploading this unauthorized recording, AFACT had tracked it to other streaming sites and P2P (peer-to-peer) systems, where it had been illegally downloaded in excess of 110,000 times, and in all probability, copied and sold as a pirate DVD all over the world,” AFACT executive director Adrianne Pecotic said.

While he may be trying to settle, settlements do not set legal precedent. Still the RIAA has not WON A SINGLE COURT CASE against a defendant. They’re too scared to lose. Losing would set precedent and then they would never win another case, and no one would settle because they know they can win in court.

You’ve got to be kidding. At this point, I guarantee you that this guy and his lawyer are crafting a settlement agreement. Personally, I would just let them hit me with a multi-million dollar judgment, then file bankruptcy and/or just leave the country. This guy apparently can do that, having worked in Germany and Russia, he’s prbably tri-lingual.

But, the man hasn’t paid anything. The court just said that the RIAA is allowed to search through his past. The article ends with:

Discovery in the case is expected to continue through November of this year, with the next court proceeding to occur in January of 2008.

The man hasn’t lost the case yet.

“As far as I know the RIAA has not won a single case in U.S. court against a person charged with copyright infringement. If I’m mistaken in that statement please let me know. If you have evidence to believe otherwise please share it.”

Judge Lets RIAA Subpoena a Defendant’s Former Employer

Also requires the defendant to provide the name and address of everyone who used his laptop over the last 3 years.

The RIAA was granted a huge file-sharing victory last week when Judge P. Kevin Castel allowed the RIAA to take almost any and all means necessary to snoop into Yuri Shutovsky’s life in search of incriminating evidence, no matter the burden to his family, friends, or acquaintances.
