DANG IT! That's what I meant! And, yes, CaseyH, that would be a huge LOSS to the smiley industry.

No PIRATE smiley?

 

Thats what I wondering coming into this thread - that it seems there was ALREADY enough powers to do these things?

But its just doing things site by site, conviction by conviction is too slow, draining and resource intensive?

 

I haven't been able to get to Revolutiontt for a couple of days now. Anyone heard if they are next?

 

I can't believe this dude had server banks in the US -- it was only a matter of time no matter what country he decided to live.

 

If this works SOPA/RIAA can just quit trying.

While the file-sharing ecosystem is currently filled with uncertainty and doubt, researchers at Delft University of Technology continue to work on their decentralized BitTorrent network. Their Tribler client doesn’t require torrent sites to find or download content, as it is based on pure peer-to-peer communication. “The only way to take it down is to take the Internet down,” the lead researcher says.

Interesting interview with Kim Dotcom where he refutes several charges. And another article that reveals how the same industry titans that begged the FBI take down megaupload to ostensibly "prevent piracy" contacted megaupload for partnership deals.

Dude knew how to live, but it's disgusting how some women do everything to get money. "Have sex with the ugly fat dude to get some nice clothes? Hell yeaaa."

 

Dude, I would have sex with ugly fat chicks if they gave me a bunch of money. Easy money, bro. Which is what these girls are thinking.

 

Dunno about you guys, but why would you use mega upload when there's like 50+ torrent sites to goto.... should you have the urge to torrent....not that you should...cuz it's WRONG...just saying

 

Leads me to what should prolly be a thread on it's own.
Would you get with Rosie O'Donnell if she gave you money? What about if she required you to be her man and gave you a monthly allowance triple what you earn from your job each month. Only problem(perhaps not for some) would be to hit it every night? Would you?

 

I know that this takes place. It's a weird synergy. He must have felt safe because of it.

 

Both sides are duplicitous weasels. Big fat phonies.


But I tend to favor the newcomer over the entrenched, typically.
