OK, I blogged about this earlier today and I feel it deserves another post. Today “The Pirate Bay” – a well known Torrent site with links to copyrighted material like movies, CD’s and software – got bought out for quite a bit of cash. Many of the users of the website have quite rightly claimed [...]

New owners of The Pirate Bay are going for a “compensation model” which “satisfies the requirements and needs of all parties, content providers, broadband operators, end users, and the judiciary.

Seriously. Another bunch of “soon to be minor celebs for a few days then vanish into obscurity, possibly appearing on follow-up shows and the odd few seconds in those late-night countdown-style TV programmes”.
