By selling the company they where actually doing the industry a favour, trying to make it more compliant. Two things could happen, it could either transform into something better, or it would be the death of TPB (most likely). Both scenarios are favourable by the industry.
I disagree. I suspect they would rather have TPB disappear entirely than add credibility to the use of the bittorrent protocol by having a successful (Ameri-)legal distribution business based off it. As it stands the vast number of ISPs who throttle bittorrent traffic are working in the industry's favour, and this would cease to be the case if TPB became an (Ameri-)legal entity.
Well, you do that enough and you get high on powerful enemy hit lists. Don't kid yourself, power multinationals bought off that Swedish judge and make this into a kangaroo court. It's probably one of the biggest travesties of justice of all time, the slope is so fucking slippery. They may as well sue the IETF or ARIN for giving out IP addresses to enable piracy. That's how egregious the law was twisted for the interests of powerful capitalists.
There's a chance TPB pissed off the enemy enough that they will be irresponsible in their retaliation, falter, and some good will come out of this.
Didn't you know? Secretly everyone wants to be American, and part of the fun/culture of being American is being sued by large corporations. Now you don't even have to come to America to experience this, America will come to you!
Steinberg Cubase 4 using syncrosoft protection, although not a game, is yet to be cracked years after its release.. Although I'm sure it hasn't had the attention of cracking teams that most big title games get, it is a fairly mainstream application, and there is ample evidence of demand on various message forums for a cracked version.
A device that gleans usable energy from the mixing of salty and fresh waters has been developed by University of Milan-Bicocca physicist Doriano Brogioli. If scaled up, the technology could potentially power coastal homes, though some scientists caution that such an idea might not be realistic.
Forget scaling it up. Put one such device in every fresh water toilet bowl.
IMHO, introduction to PC anatomy and troubleshooting should be mandatory in the high school curriculum in today's day and age, and would go a long way to mitigating the problem.
If IP addresses are not "Personally Identifiable", what widely broadcast piece of information on the internet is?
If nothing, does that mean that users are generally anonymous, unless they choose to identify themself?
If yes, does that mean users have a reasonable expectation of privacy?
Eventually this will give us a world without theft. The trick is keep it from also giving us a world without fun.
The latter is not so important if you have a society that isn't aware of what fun is. You can't long for that which you don't know you're missing. Read Nineteen Eighty-Four sometime if you haven't already.

If they have to have a hearing for each case, won't this seriously bog down the court system?
Will the industry then be limited to going after only the biggest offenders?

We should use this ruling as precedent

Has anyone actually ever tried to get out of an automated ticket this way? What was the result?

I foresee a lot of pron-related content in this game's future.

Good luck proving to a believer that any "errors" made were not intended by God.
That's a redundant security feature. God won't allow changes to the work that are not intended by Him.

"Who wants to get drunk, go out and replace the red dye with motor oil??"
That sounds a little kinkier than necessary for the public internet.
In Canada we have no expectation of privacy on the internet, hence there is no "private internet".
