German director Uwe Boll has made something of of specialty out of producing terrible movies based on video games. Back in 2006, Ars Gaming Editor Ben Kuchera summed up Boll's problem: "After he watched the final cut of Alone in the Dark, he actually decided to release it. This guy is pure evil, distilled in an untalented director's body."

Boll went on to make such films as Postal and Far Cry, taking advantage of German film tax credits to obtain continued financing for his work, and he wasn't above actually punching out his critics in the ring. The man is... not universally loved.

This month, Boll found a new revenue source: mass lawsuits against P2P downloaders in US federal court. The first suit from Achte/Neunte Boll Kino Beteiligungs GmbH targets "Does 1-2,094" over their alleged sharing of Far Cry on BitTorrent networks

he better be carefull and mellow down a bit(torrent) ( coudn't resist)
, otherwise he turns the peeps who love him now against him and then he surely fucked for good

I agree
metallica made a lot of people hate them by doing the same shit

let them urn money by doing concerts and actually work for a living
Cd's etc are just promotional material imho (from their point of view)
i don't get paid either anymore for the work i did...1 time only and that's it
would be funny if peeps had to pay me everytime they opened their frontdoor or something, just because i spraypainted it

besides they still get paid everytime you hear 1 of their songs on the radio...on any regular radio station.
i can't help it if they made a crappy deal with the recordlabel about the %'s

and another point is is that we pay some sort of tax on blank cdr's and dvd's
some of that money also (should) end up with the artists
