Half the Charges Against Pirate Bay Dropped
eldavojohn writes "Half the charges have been dropped in the second day of the trial against the Pirate Bay. The charges dropped are those relating to 'assisting copyright infringement,' so the remaining charges are simply 'assisting making available.' No information on how this affects the size of the lawsuit or a settlement."
In the defense of TPB and "Making Available". Google makes available majority of the internet, including pages with questionable content. When do we get to take them to court? I mean how many users have received a virus from a bad search term and not properly screening the results... in fact, without google would the RIAA even know of TPB? would half the users? lets stop wasting time and take the one really responsible to court. I kid, and I like Google. I just think that the time wasted could be better spent. RIAA, you dropped the ball, what we have here is a FAILURE to INNOVATE. Someone is getting the job done for you, because we are tired of waiting. I still am willing to bet that I go buy a CD from Best Buy and it still lacks that technology from 1996, CD-Text. Every CD I own had to be copied to add that data, thanks Nero!
