Wow and I thought the US courts sucked. So basically a government entity told a court how it should find?
Yes. And this is so goddamn illegal under the Swedish constitution if it had been a Swedish official/entity that said it. The separation of executive and legislative branch is there for a reason.
Okay. I cannot find the words to describe this latest example of the complete and utter corruption of the EU bureaucracy.
I dunno the GOP's bullshit with the stimulus sure isn't making me think they are putting country first. Politics the world over is stupid right now.
i don't see any stimulus package.... oh you mean the 'hey lets put all of our projects on one bill and try to pass it' package
yeah, stupid GOP.
Sorry doing something is better than nothing and voting along party lines when the president was specifically pushing compromise and gave up some stuff is stupid. Especially since the country backs this plan.

God fuckity damn. My supervisor's weird stance of not going to conferences without presenting bites me in the arse again. There's a French group who have come up with some alternate method for doing something I want to do, but they aren't published. All there is was a talk at a recent conference.

I've heard ooky things about the EU before, it sounds like a good idea that really hasn't been so hot as of late.
It sounded like a good idea until the bureaucracy decided that its primary purpose was to serve the bureaucracy's continued existence. That, and the insane lobbying from corporate interests with slightly more than zero influence from the actual citizens.

It was my understanding that the motivation for the EU was primarily an economic one. Unifying economies and strengthening them through "banding together" and all that.
But some of the recent additions to the EU make no sense in that regard.

It doesn't even make sens from an economic perspective any longer. The EU is essentially moving to a planned Soviet economy.

If searching for torrents is illegal, then so is Google. TPB doesn't host any infringing material on its servers.
Yeah that's basically what I was under the impression of. So how do you press charges on a person/company for not breaking the law? You can rewrite the law but until such time how do you press charges on them.

It depends on their laws. Remember this isn't the US.

The charges are copyright infringement and "conspiracy to commit copyright infringement" or whatever nonsense it was called.
The funny thing is that the prosecutors have zero expert witnesses on their list -- it's just various artists and music industry execs that will probably perform well-rehearsed sob stories about them horrible pirates.

God I hate recording artists, they lose nothing from these sites. Hell there are plenty of stories of people aquiring something legally after getting it illegally. And this wouldn't be an issue if they hadn't fucked everyone with CD's for so long.

The stories of them losing money after Napster went down, due to people using it to look at other bands people had in their lists.

There are more and more studies showing that people who download also buy more and go to more conserts etc. than people who don't download.

Really quick- this is not homework, I'm graduated from college- if someone could help me find where to convert a probability from decimal form to "one in _____" form, I'd really appreciate it.
The probability is 0.000039837152942224. I need that converted. (Don't even ask why.)

Why buy a CD and only get to hear one song before buying it. Then you're stuck liking 1/15 of the product you purchased.

Of course, it reminds me of when I used to rent games as a kid. Sure I didn't buy shitty games, but if a game was awesome I was more likely to ask for it from my parents. Same thing here give people a taste and your product is good and they will want the full thing.
And fuck sake we need reliable digital download services that use a universal standard for all mediums.

Have the bands that released albums for free (or rather, donation optional) released any information on how well they did? I know Radiohead did it with In Rainbows and Nine Inch Nails did it on a recent album.

The EU parliament made a statement that they "recommend that the trial against The Pirate Bay result in a conviction".
WHAT THE FLYING FUCK
The trial hasn't even started yet! And they're suggesting it should result in a conviction, no matter what! AAAAH
It's time to leave the EU.

Although it's still unclear to me what makes this so much better than the last time around.
When I look at this new package all I can think of is how much it's going to suck to pay for this later.

And once big enough to get attention from lobbyists it's way easier to dismantle and push under the carpet.
Decentralized tracker-less torrents? Good luck killing that.

the premium newsgroup services have huge amounts of growth lately. For instance, Giganews is adding 2TB in storage a day.
