And why would IFPI be interested in people's mail? Otherwise you're darn right. Anybody worried about privacy should stay away from Sweden-based...
Good question. Personally I use "most used first" for the system/app partition and "space" option (O&O nomenclature) for the storage drives. But I...
Not quite correct. The claim that the judge was biased and the demand for a new trial at the same level were rejected. The appeal to a higher...
Of course the bias thing is about tactics, but you miss the important thing here. TPB was not accused of copyright infringement, like everybody...
This is not about the PirateBay, really. It's to some extent about filesharing in general but mainly about the deterioration of basic principles...
Today the PirateBay case took a new, though not entirely unexpected, turn when it became known that the judge of the PB trial may have been...
Yes, that seems to be the reason. And PB is continuing from anywhere, their servers haven't been in Sweden since they were raided, shut down and...
Well, so far they haven't been very proficient in staging terrorist threats so anti-terrorism won't be convincing. My guess is they'll emphasize...
Thanks, I didn't know about that one. Looks great.
Even if this is meant to snatch customers from other ISP:s and even if it will lead to further legislative countermeasures, at least it serves to...
That's an important aspect of filesharing which has been neglected in the debate. Some software vendors won't give you a fair chance to try out...
At last the verdict in the Pirate Bay case was announced today. One year's imprisonment for each one of the "culprits" and a common penalty of...
That's Wednesday March 25 - that's why they refer to waffles (Swedish tradition). I signed up for "beta invite" as soon as I learned about it, but...
Yeah, but it's been "imminent" for several weeks now. It may well prove to be a great service once it's up and running - the TPB people know their...
I have a hunch there's some Scandinavian members on this forum, so I'd like to know if anybody has tried the "Mullvad" ('mole') VPN service?...
I signed up for beta testing some weeks ago - ain't heard nothing since. Sometimes their otherwise pleasant laid-back attitude can be just a wee...
Thanks for providing the link - good reading. I am a little wary of Falungong myself, at least as far as their spiritual claims go - they look...
Right, but it means that more snoopers will have access to the data for a longer time, and consequently abusive use is certain; also this EU...
Exactly. Looks very familiar. Anyway, this somewhat OT discussion seems to confirm that the Pirate Bay issue is partly about mankind's...
What's illegal isn't necessarily immoral, and the concept of "security" could be taken to include general Internet issues as well - after all...
Let's not forget the big software vendors. Some of them don't really expect us ordinary guys to pay. Look at the price tags of Photoshop, Maya or...
Agreed, but it's not a question of closing the Internet, rather of gaining total corporate and governmental control: Corporations want to "offer...
The Internet functions by indexing and linking and one part of the trial was to decide whether that is illegal. It just so happens, conveniently,...
Well, in your very own words: Anyway, it seems like we're discussing the wrong issue here. The TPB trial was basically a trial against the...
No, like I said in my post. But I do know that titles that may refer to child porn are pretty rare on TPB, and a recent case, widely publicised in...
