  2. Re:IP addresses for copyright infringement lawsuit on Poisoned Torrents Plague Mybittorrent · · Score: 1

    By the act of actually seeding the file for people to download in the first place arn't the comitting entrapment?

  3. To little to late. on Poisoned Torrents Plague Mybittorrent · · Score: 5, Informative

    Theres already a plugin for Azureus that prevents it connecting to the IP addresses of known bad torrent seeders and goverment agencies using a regularly auto-updated list. I think its called 'Safepeer'.

  4. I dont care. on Current-Gen Price Drop and 360 Shortage · · Score: 3, Interesting

    While all the early "I must have it the hour it comes out" adopters are killing each other and paying far to much to possess a console that wont have that many 'must have' games in the first six months, I'll be keeping myself happy buying all the discounted games and second hand games (sold for pittance by the aforsaid early adopters to fund X360 purchase) that I've not had the funds/time to play over the last 12 months. Maybe later on I'll buy a 360 but for now I've still got a whole back library of quality Xbox and PS2 titles that I havn't played yet.

    Hmmm, I'm waiting for someone to take apart the code inside this thing and find out that the camera in its head has been transmitting everything that has been going on inside the owners house down that broadband connection to some chinese goverment agency.....Its not paranoia if they really are watching you.......And what the hell do they do to it every month that costs $95 ?

    If they could use cat / turkey carcases then surely in theory they could use human bodies as well........Aarrrgghhhh "Soylent Unleaded Green Is People!!!"

  10. Re:I am not excited on XBox 360 Launching Nov 22 · · Score: 1

    I bought an Xbox early on for £300 (plus £40 for Halo). I for one wont be buying the new one until at least 6 - 8 months down the line when the number of games availible reaches a decent level of choice so I'm not forced to buy substandard rubbish just so I've got something to play on it. Unitl then I'll satisfy my gaming needs by buying up all the Xbox games I never got round to playing second hand from EB where (silly)people will have sold their entire games collections (and their grandmothers) to fund their purchase of a 360 with one wireless controller and one game.
