Wow, so I guess I'm not the only one who thinks it's way too soon...only a year? And most of the good stuff is coming to the first one now...we'll see whether me and my friends decide to shell out another 50 bucks.

Yeah, you don't need much to play browser games. I can play Quake III just fine.

Pirate Bay lawyer seeking retrial

TPB is much different than a search engine because the search engine automates searching with a crawler, so we can't really just stop it from searching any one thing or copyrighted material. However, when you're indexing your own trackers and letting people post up copyrighted material, that's a different story. When I say "post up", I mean create a tracker, have it indexed and start seeding.

Personally, I think that every web master is responsible for the traffic going through his or her site. For example, if someone posts a picture of some illicit, illegal material, is it not the responsibility of the webmaster to take it down? Sure, they may not be the original host, but when you're not taking action to take it down, it's still pretty wrong. Not 3.5 million wrong, not 1 year of jail wrong, however.

I also agree that they need a better trial. To have any bias in a trial of this magnitude is pretty poor.

There's a bigger difference between search engines and what the pirate bay does.

Search engines use crawlers, a tool that just searches and searches for pages and indexes them all. It has no real control over what happens. Sure, we can take a link out, but the crawler will find much more to replace it.

The pirate bay, however, hosts their own trackers and has search engines to index their torrent trackers. This is completely different.

In either case, they deserve a fair trial, no matter how guilty or not guilty we think they are. Although if they get a better trial, maybe the prosecution could actually explain things a bit better and be more organized...

Pirate Bay founders convicted, ESA praises decision

This is kinda sad. On the one hand, corporations have struck a big blow and yet again fined an outrageous amount to "criminals." On the other hand, they are guilty of not monitoring what's going through their site, so they are somewhat responsible.

Thank goodness somebody pointed out that gameplay is more important than graphics. Maybe the gaming community will actually listen

Unreal Tournament 3 play jumps 2000%, Steam adds second free weekend

Mar 11th 2009 6:45PM (Joystiq)
Probably both, but it's probably more for the 2000% increase...personally I'm glad cause I love this version almost as much as 2k4, but nobody else accepted it.
