Charity Forced to Pay Copyright Fee So Kids Can Sing Carols | TorrentFreak
I won’t even try to say anything clever about this. Fuck them all! Fuck the idiot inspector, fuck his boss, fuck everyone who touched the paperwork involved in this case. I hope they all get gang-raped by a pack of Wii hoarders for the rest of eternity.

Jury penalises music file-sharer - BBC NEWS
A Minnesota woman just lost in court against the RIAA, and has been slapped with a quarter-million dollar judgement.
Now I don’t care how much music she was sharing (it wasn’t much!) or how badly she may have messed up her testimony, there’s just no fucking way she could have “cost” the music industry $222,000.

This is how we deal with censorship on the internet. I think the MPAA’s “engineers” purposely designed this weak 128-bit encryption key to make it easily crackable, so they can spend more time in court suing every person on earth and lobby the government for an even dumber law than the DMCA to “protect” them… Read the rest of this entry »

The colorful pile of user-submitted shit, better known as Digg, issued a little PR message regarding the recent censorship of HD-DVD decryption techniques. Nevermind the fact that these articles got upwards of 15 thousand votes or “diggs”, and were by far the most popular topics of the past week… Read the rest of this entry »

Kaleidescape, makers of ultra-high-end media center equipment, have won a court ruling vs the DVD CCA (copy control association), which alleged that the defendant’s product was illegally circumventing DVD copy protection. For you lazy tards, the Kaleidescape system is like a video iPod on steroids… Read the rest of this entry »
