my irony gland is getting a workout today ;-)
is someone else going to take the piss out of mark for writing that comment?
I feel a little sick -
this thread has spent a long time talking about S92
blinkers off don.
there's a massive amount of non 92a stuff on here. that's just your pet bee in your bonnet.check this site
on the right side there's a most popular list.
the top 3 are games followed by 2 movies. no music.its nice the well respected and read irish times focuses on illegal filesharing as it relates to music but film and games get it hard.
I don't know if you speak for the entire world of software, but I'm thinking music software developers who load their products up with drm probably don't share your free love ideas. -
Working with rather than against them might mean that the music industry has a fighting chance
why the music industry all the time. its almost more film and software and games as measured by volume on these sites.

There are hundreds of Pirate Bays out there.
well no, as far as bit torrent goes there are a few main players (pirate bay, mininova, isohunt, etc) a few lesser players. They even rate the popularity and use of the known sites.
The bigger issue is the smaller number of torrent trackers of which pirate bay seems to be the biggest.
If you knocked out the trackers then you'd knock out the network. At present if you took out piratebay you'd take out most of the torrent tracker presence and the torrents wouldn't work because there would be no overview record of who's sharing what
.
I have no idea why they don't just block the pirate bay tracker site.The question was raised as to why upon guilty verdict the pirate bay site is still active. Their prison term are relatively unimportant surely.

heroes to a generation they may be but what is it exactly pirate bay do? I'm trying to think of equivalent actions in a different area that showcase the nature of their actions away from the glow of free media stuffed piglets.
I wonder if I can set up a site that shares information on when people are away from their houses on holiday and the best means of access to enter said properties. I wouldn't actually be breaking into said properties myself, just pointing people in the right direction, although it might be argued that my site promotes the breaking of current laws, without actually breaking them personally.

will they never learn
righteous indignation, eh?, with perhaps a smidge of smug?
can't wait till you all step off the sidelines and lead the way. the future will be so bright. nothing speaks louder than actions, except perhaps pontification on blogs.Peter Althin, the lawyer who represents Pirate Bay spokesperson Peter Sunde, told The Local that in setting up this case, several lay judges were thrown out due to conflicts of interest. That Norström somehow sneaked past this deletion process raised suspicion and anger in the defense team.
suspicion and anger at themselves for not catching it along with the lay judges who they threw out earlier?
"Norström somehow sneaked "????. The dude turned up for work to enforce the law as written and as is his job, the defense team didn't challenge him on what they now see as grounds for bias and he somehow sneaked?I think it more likely they knew all along, let it pass on the intention of bringing it up right about now. Nicely played, and that's exactly the point, to play it.
Although I can admire a well spun line its hardly the straight up honest nz way of doing things so it grates a little with me.

good to see your humor is working but not for the reasons you think it is.
Is there a similar funding entity in NZ? If not, should there be?
but, but, why do they need any money, $50000 seems a lot since production costs have allegedly slipped to near zero and they can just get out on the road and pick up the easy money according to tussock. I think that's what the experts were saying in their explanation of how the economics of music work from an open source vantage point.
all that metric story needs is an element of how the lead singer finally gets to go out with the cool girl he's had his eye on and its the makings of a hollywood movie.

the judge in the case is a member of pro-copyright groups
should he have been a member of anti copyright groups? should he have known nothing about copyright?
copyright being the current law and all that, I would have thought it was ok for him to be versed in it and supportive of its principles.
pirate bay should acknowledge a fair cop and move on to waste someone else's time, but I some how thing dragging it out for as long as they can is the whole point. -
Hey, performing arts people,
wow, that was well informed and balanced. good to see the team spirit is a live and well in you brother tussock.

So the legislation is out of date already?
eh, no, the method is changing but the intent of the legislation was to require isp's to get off their arse and participate and stop just sitting their and raking in the cash. Something to do with a lofty notion of responsibility or some other such nonsense.
If legislation did get through (and that's unlikely with team open source devoting all their attention to it) I guess the people in a position to do something about it would have to figure a way to address new issues as they come up, if you'd be so kind as to help out.
