Pirate Bay Loses A Lawsuit; Entertainment Industry Loses An Opportunity

,----[ Quote ]
| The folks behind The Pirate Bay insist that the site will live on and the 
| verdict means nothing, but it may create an inconvenience for users of the  
| site -- especially if other nations use this as yet another excuse to ban the 
| site. The folks this will hurt the most are those content creators who 
| actually do value The Pirate Bay -- such as best selling author Paulo Coehlo, 
| who found that "pirating" his own book helped him tremendously, and who 
| recently spoke out about what a useful tool The Pirate Bay has been. It's a 
| shame that because some big lumbering companies are unable to change their 
| business models that they get to use the legal system to disrupt and annoy 
| those who have figured it out.

Norwegian Minister Publishes Book under CC BY-SA

,----[ Quote ]
| Today, Norway’s Minister of Government Administration and Reform, Heidi 
| Grande Røys, launched a new book, edited by the Minister, about sharing and 
| the social side of computer networks.  The book is titled “Delte  meninger” 
| (in Norwegian this has the dual meaning of “shared  opinions” 
| and “conflicting opinions”). There is also a website dedicated to open, 
| public debate about the issues raised in the book.

The Pirate Bay, Guilty Before Trial!

,----[ Quote ]
| The Pirate Bay recently featured in an exhibition about online crime, run by 
| the Swedish police - even before their trial has begun. Pirate Bay’s Brokep 
| has had enough of being the punch bag of the Swedish authorities: “It’s 
| slander,” he says “Authorities are not allowed to engage in political 
| opinionation.”
