Something seems...off about this court desicion. The judge is ordering torrentspy to do something that web sites are not, originally, required to do (log visitors). The judge is ordering torrentspy to log it's visitors, and then give the logs to the MP/RIAA from what it looks like...isn't there a federal statute that prevents judges from issuing court orders that would cause any party to create self-incriminating evidence that can be used against them in future legal matters? Especially since, once again, the action the judge ordered T.Spy to do isn't requied by any federal, state, or municipal statute for lawful operation of a web site?

The MPAA and RIAA are the enemies of communism. No one gets shit without throwing a quarter or a dollar or your left nut on the table first.

They can just put the 'Entrance' in another country, that redirects back to torrentspy.

quincy0191Fuck You, Norton Antivirus
I’ve been having problems with Norton Antivirus for the past few weeks, mainly relating to an issue with the ccSvcHst.exe file, which has a tendency to eat one’s entire CPU on occasion, and for little reason. The LiveUpdate feature has some influence here; if it’s not run for an extended period, and when it is run and for a short time after, it causes ccSvcHst.exe to take up 80-100% of the processor’s capacity. This is a well-documented issue online, as a quick Goog...

quincy0191It's Gettin' Hot in Herre

Most publicized is the use of the word “trick” by one of the scientists when referring to climate data that did not indicate warming; essentially, the individual wished to hide the fact that there was no warming during a given period, via “creative statistics” (my term, not theirs).Plenty of climate change skep...
