The sentence was crazy, especially the amount they wanted from the 4. does the pirate bay even make any money from there site? i buy cds and movies 14 to 20 dollars aint alot to pay for something you like.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8003799.stm Watcha think? Personally, I do like file sharing. Even though I don't use it much. That and media needs to change its revenue stream. Evolve or die. Don't attempt to place the same copyright laws as regular hard media on digital items. Make people want to pay. Offer them…
Man, I ate so much crow today, it's not even funny. Off to burn that t-shirt I bought from their "store". You know what the funny part is? The shirt isn't good quality even by bought-it-off-the-internet standards. Proper butt-pirates, these guys.
Swedish author Unni Drougge has released an audio book of her latest work, exclusively on The Pirate Bay. Born in '56, she's released several works since her debut in '94, and is now taking a stand on the side of free information. She recorded her latest book with the help of friends who share her opinions, and set up a…
Heh. You know, I'm sure people who stuff the bodies of dead hookers in their basement use that basement for legitimate reasons too. ;) It doesn't matter what ELSE the Pirate Bay did. They broke the law and flaunted it in public for years. Doesn't make a different if they helped old ladies cross the street on the side.
I don't get it... I've been kinda-following this for a while, through Gizmodo's amusing journalism. I'm reading a bunch of articles on it and watching the TPB's press releases. I still don't get what happened. They were found guilty for copyright infringement...? How? They own a site that other people can upload junk on.…
It's about damn time they caught those thieving pirates. I hear they've been raping the land and pillaging the women. But in all seriousness torrenting movies, music and other media ultimately hurts the creative side since the torrenters are not paying for their work. ...now if you'll excuse me I have some movies, books,…
Sounds like what you are suggesting with the whole ticket thing is bribery. Peoples hard work should be rewarded financially. While piracy is now not as damaging to the industry as preowned games, it is still a major factor. I am glad these days games are so big they are pointless to download, especially PS3 games and for…
That statement's a bit naive. I started using 3DS Max four years before bittorrent existed, and Polycount itself pre-dates nearly every P2P networking app. I don't know how many Polycounters got started with software in school or using free apps like Blender and Gmax, but don't go assuming that we're all pirates.
quoting for truth. How many PC games go against the consumer, shouting at you that you can't install twice etc. Hell, I actually bought Windows XP Pro, and after one machine died I suddenly found I had to jump through a shitload of hoops to even install it on another machine. Thanks, activation! With pirated stuff you just…
