The Petra Zone

This is completely Illegal! Petra clearly said not to distribute officially released material, and you are posting the complete Farewell and CITAS DVDs for download. Please removed all these, this just hurts the band.

This.

Also, I know members of Skillet personally. I'm sure they'd be THRILLED (sarcasm) to know that one of their albums appears on this list...their label has a pretty large legal department for this kind of stuff, too.

EDIT: I have submitted the website linked above to people in a position to DO something about it. It won't be up for long.

This site is sharing ripped DVDs which is blatant stealing. (And it even includes copies of videos I took and posted to YouTube...Odd)

This site has constantly been distributing PDC music files as well and I have had it. The only way to end this is death....seriously. That is not a threat, I am just saying that these people have a mindset and twisted logic that cannot be changed, and they will not stop until they die. Lawyers are no help. The government is no help. This is a morals/sin issue. These people think that the burden of proof is on you as the artist and that it is up to the artist to police them and their software. This is how someone has paid off the government to write the laws, so they are right. But they and the law are immoral. These people are not Christians. I will say this, if I ever meet these people in person, which is not likely because I don't plan on making a trip to the Baltics anytime soon, this darn near 6'-4" tall, 250 pound dude is going to put the hurt on them, all in brotherly love. That doesn't sound very Christian, so here is the Christian part. I will pray for them to feel better when I take them to the hospital. Just kidding. Sort of. Maybe.

Piracy people in Sweden have even founded a new religion now!

By doing so, they probably aim to exploit the freedom of religion to go around the laws. But that won't help - A devils worshiper can hardly sacrifice children legally even if it was his religion.

The Wierd thing is that if you read the statement in the Website they say that their whole pourpose is to spread the Gospel through these videos, or course by making them available illegally.

Some people have it deep in their mind that by giving something that costs money, away for free, they are doing a good deed, and helping humanity. It bugs me to no end.

I removed the links but left the thread in tact for now so people know what happened here. I'll leave it to Daniel to to decide if he wants to remove the thread or do anything about the poster who provided the links.

I just removed the actual posts and links; I left our comments up though.

What happened? were these not bootlegs or something?

You guys own and run the place not me I just do the server stuff.

No just a lot of free downloads from multiple current and classic CCM artists including CP and Petra.

what is the posters user name?

Brent I had my suspicions that you were 6'4 dude I don't want to see you down a dark ally.

Maybe there is a comic strip there, staring Brent as some sort of hulk type character.

if needed I could take Brent out; how would it look if I couldn't live up to my namesake?

His name was Eraldorelics, it seems to be his one and only post.

Brent and Bob Hartman if you happen to be reading, this is the link to report this page for copyright infringement, the owner must be the one to report.

Yep, I spend about an hour every day submitting DMCA forms to have links removed. Of course, the parent site feeds hundreds of other blogs and sites that must be addressed individually. It is a HUGE pain in the buttocks to do this and then to follow up with all of them.
