I would rather spend £20 and be able to play parts of the game only accessible with certain items than spend three weeks (conservative estimate with, for example, raiding for Tier 5 loot in WoW) being unable to play. Grinding constantly to be able to proceed is mundane, and ultimately what put me off WoW.
Fuck you for deciding who is a loser based upon what hobbies a person decides to spend their money on.
TPB want a win on merit, not technicality. Unless BitTorrent / P2P is vindicated in trial, the case will just return with new people involved.
[tinfoilhat]Consider that this case may have been designed to fail on this technicality, so the prosecution now have all of the plays the defence counsel will make in retrial. They can then research ways to combat them, come back, and win.[/tinfoilhat]
Think that way of thinking is beyond a media conglomorate?
The wonderful thing about TIGR, is TIGR's a wonderful thing. It doesn't have any trouble using Milit'ry networking. It's good for intel in the field, and fun fun fun fun fun! So boot up that there TIGR, while I go get my gun.
The trouble is that while one side supports censorship, the other probably supports intelligent design in science lessons, or the introduction of a higher super-tax band on the rich, or some other legislation which will be unfavourable.
Too many people don't realise that there are more than two or three parties to vote for, so they pick the lesser of the evils. In many cases, unfortunately, it's censorship (under the guise of "thinking of the children", "stopping terr'rism" etc).
Hell, create your own party. You might not get into power yourself, but with enough people on your side you could sway decisions in your version of Parliament.
I2P will only connect to the WWW through exitproxies. If Germany gets this law, all of the German exitproxies will shut to prevent their IPs' being connected to this kind of traffic.
I2P will lose out because of this. It'll become another darknet.
I wake up and I check the news and personal email on my computer. I go to work and I check my work email on the computer. I write scripts on the computer. I browse/. on the computer. I check the backup tape using the computer. I read about the unscheduled shutdown using the computer. I go home and I watch some iPlayer on the computer. I do some more work towards my Law degree on the computer. I play some games on the computer.
What makes you think the results would be any different?
Something tells me that when your recent ancestors had to run after your food over branches, stones, through water, AND keep track of your prey, running barefoot on a flat trak would be a cake-walk.

Well, if the universe is expanding in a uniform fashion, the perimeter in all directions must be equidistant from the centre.
I think you mean a Malteser.
Half of me wants to call you a troll, but the other half is laughing hard at that last line.
So, what happens when the service is used for money laundering?

So thank them.
This is a story regarding the countersuit to an Apple DMCA takedown notice. The EFF want publicity for this case.
No Streissand Effect here, folks.

I don't speak the native language of the ISPs' website. Do they offer a VPN service?
Bearing the story in mind, I'd pay to link through them. I'd pay quite a lot.
Seeing as this is the end of hardcore gaming, does this mean we can finally see the year of Linux on the desktop?
More people smoke green than attack people. I'm shocked. Honestly.
Did you consider that they might be a little too monged to go out beating up grannies?
Censorship / prohibition never works, it just makes people work harder for what they want.
Unless they start censoring the 24-hour shower-cam on Big Brother, the great unwashed couldn't give a hoot.
Sounds painful.
Fortunately, he wasn't cautioned before making this statement of personal opinion, and therefore it can't be used against him in a criminal case.
