Pirates on Trial

[mgz]

14 oclock in whose time zone

[forevr]

Ours (GMT +1) I would assume.
Few others seems to use a 24 hour clock.

[mgz]

o i know its 24 hour time, i just like putting oclock on there cuz it makes it seem silly

[AceHigh]

Yes yes, GMT+1, do you think it would be some other timezone making the trial end in the middle of the night at local time?

Also I don't understand why people have hard time using 24 hour clock, especially when in English language "fourteen hundred" sounds much better.

[SpeedKills]

It was hot I agree, all the more reason not to place it between your legs while your driving.

Where else are you going to put it while you're talking on your cell phone and applying makeup and changing CDs while driving? ;)00000


I hope they win, and I hope the recording industry stops being an industry.  I really don't see why it's such a huge deal whether or not artists get 1% of the ridiculous amount of money that companies make selling their CDs

the lawsuit was long enough ago that cellphones and cdplayers in cars werent as common, i think a better example would be YOU CANT PUT IT THE CUP HOLDER IT MIGHT SPILL ON YOUR CAR PHONE and what else would you do when fast forwarding through your cassettes to find that one song

Prosecution talks dirty, insults professor again.

Historical precedent, the same reason we still use our silly method of measurements. It sounds more natural, at least for most people in America, to use the 12-hour clock. Likewise, you having learned it the other way would probably prefer a 24-hour clock regardless of how it was pronounced.

On topic, gotta love how they calculate damages and revenue. It's as if the possibility of anyone creating something like TPB would ever do it for anything other than money doesn't exist. I got a kick out of, “It’s easy to come in contact with the users by leaving a message in the comments field" too. I'm sure it'd be really practical to ask for damages across every torrent.

Also, how seriously can anyone make the claim that software piracy is the exact same thing as stealing a physical copy? There's no lost product, and there's no guarantee that anyone would have bought it if the alternative didn't exist regardless.

April 17 is the day we know what the court has decided. Quite a long time.

[Chiyachan]

17th April? That's ages away. Give the verdict now!

I hope it goes in TPBs favour... Cos if it doesn't... It's only a matter of time until we'll be summoned. >_>
We host music. <_<

As long as the torrents the companies don't want are removed from the site, it's unlikely they will do anything. That's a difference between TPB and BoxT.

I do wonder if the swedish acceptance of the IPRED-law will
have any effect on the TPB trial.. quite sick law that.

difference being the record labels in those court rooms own rights to like zero of the albums on box and dont care lol

I cannot see how it will change anything, they can get out IP's easier(I admit that I am not knowledgable in IPRED). But as TPB-case is old, and IPRED is new law, they cannot use that law if I remember swedish laws somewhat correctly.

The Japanese companies mostly care only about piracy within Japan. Anything outside is meh. After all, when you compare sales within Japan to the number of dls we get per OST/OP/ED, we don't have much of an impact.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (GO TORRENT IT NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN).
Meh, a summary of events for those who missed it.

[captiosus]

Place your bets now on who is gonna win!

The Pirate Bay wins

[Penthero]

The Pirate Bay wins

I think there's higher chance TPB wins, but it doesn't matter alot who wins atm, as no one will accept defeat and we will have to redo it.

can anyone list the things they are trying to charge the guys of TPB with each person and the alleged crimes.
Hard to say whether they will be innocent or guilty without a nice little list since im to lazy to google

‘assisting in making copyright content available’ - that's their crime, though they've been assisting in different ways according to the prosecutor.

Yes, that is the ONLY charge, since the actual 'making copyright available' charge was dropped on Day 2.
