Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
There are different levels of work that go into creating it on different platforms, especially in our industry. If I buy Lego Star Wars for the DS, I should have to buy it again for the 360 or PC. Different game, made by a different team, entirely different bar codes and inventory items, different production costs and… -
Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
NIN's and radiohead's plan of releasing their music for free on the net is a viable bussiness strategy because the vast majority of money that comes into an artist's hands is through concerts. The other large stream of revenue comes from liscencing deals where your songs are put in movie sound tracks or commercials. That… -
Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
Huh, really? It's one little syllable, you can treat them both the exact same way. It bugs me, too, I have to admit. "Could of", I understand. People hear "could've" as in "could have" all day long, but rarely see the expression written since the written language usually avoids phrases like that. So when writing down… -
Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
I thought these guys originally contended that they never made any money from the core of what Pirate Bay did? -
Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
I think this is part of what they're planning to do with the whole cloud computing idea. Monthly fee for what you like, access it anywhere on any terminal/node. Ferg support this. -
Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
lolz, i couldn't agree more. But really, this does nothing to the piracy going on. I mean come on, 4 guys 1 year in jail? thats a frickin joke. The website is still up ( the home page is at least) so they didn't really stop anything did they? But whatever. You get one of these a year. nothing changes. -
Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
But... that's the thing... What law did they break? You obviously have a better grip on the jurid...ist.. whatever, thingamajig than I do, despite me living in Sweden. Can you explain to me why this happened, exactly? I've been pondering it all day I still don't get how they could come to this conclusion. Copyright… -
Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
No, as he explained, they are criminals. We aren't talking about 25 years, we are talking about a year. Still wouldn't want to be them, but that might wipe the smirk off their faces without being a very cruel conviction. I agree with you, it may scare people off following their example. That's not a bad thing. I think its… -
Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
i honestly feel like when it comes to things like software/music/movies/tv shows/etc we are moving very slowly toward a system where we dont own hard copies (ala CDs, DVDs, etc) and instead with the cheap availability of broadband virtually everywhere now we will instead pay a monthly fee based on either use level (a GB… -
Re: Pirate Bay found Guilty...
It's about time, tbh. I don't feel sorry for them at all, even though they'll be appealing and will drag that on for the next couple of years. Apparently something was leaked from the court, so they're now able to sue for defamation of character or something as ridiculous as that. It's not the piracy that pisses me off…
