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

| 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.”
