Awards season, mini phones and Pirate Bay drama

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:08:00 GMT

This week, our ol' chaps from over the pond (that is what they're called, right?) check in to speak of the unspeakable drama going on at The Pirate Bay. Not unspeakable because it's dramatic, scary or obscene, but it's just unspeakable because... well... explaining the situation gives us a bit of a headache. We'll let Duncan expound on how pirate visitors to The Pirate Bay actually might have a better shot at getting away with it. Also, Dan chimes in on a notable trend, specifically the trend toward creating a "mini phone." In essence, the netbook / laptop relationship has extended to the mobile space, where less expensive smartphone handsets are starting to roll out in tandem with their bigger brethren. Phones like the Pixi and the Palm Pre, among others. What's with the fad, and is it worth buying into? Lastly, it's award season over at Pocket-Lint, and besides the requisite champagne dreams after winning a Pocket-Lint-ie (that's not what they're called), the guys explain some of their favs including a piece of software getting some U.K. buzz that soon could be coming stateside. Also, give us feedback if you've got it. pocketlintshow@techvi.com. We'd love to hear what you think of the show. Distributed by Tubemogul.

The Pirate Bay: Holes in the sale?

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:14:01 GMT

We find it kind of odd, to say the least, that The Pirate Bay, the most notorious and belligerent BitTorrent tracker and site on the planet, was sold to a Swedish video game company for around $7 million dollars. Call us skeptical, but looking in the past with sites like Napster, piracy-to-legit transformations don't often work out the way the founders' hope, but you never know. We talk to Doug Aamoth from CrunchGear and JG Mason from Gadgetell.com about the situation. They're as perplexed as we were. Doug maintains the game maker is buying The Pirate Bay to simply gain a marketing foothold with the piracy-friendly 18-34 gaming set. JG thinks it might just be one big shell game, wherein the founders sell off the current company just to prep another on the side. Whatever the case may be, the situation is odd, and it seems like the average pirate's go-to destination is going to be extinct soon enough. Distributed by Tubemogul.

RIP! A Remix Manifesto

Avaiable on iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/c2yxs4 and DVD: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001WB6MNK/disinformation Filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers. The film's central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazil's Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride. Which side of the ideas war are you on?

T-Mobile G1 hits a million, and Pirate Bay fans and fanatics

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:06:00 GMT

There's no disputing Apple's current status as king of cell phones in public perception, but today a report from Deutsche Telekom, parent of T-Mobile, says the company has sold one million T-Mobile G1s. Does the G1's perceived success mean its a worthy iPhone competitor? We ask Joshua Topolsky from Engadget and John Falcone from CNET Reviews. They both feel like sales numbers alone aren't enough to decide when a phone or platform is a worthy competitor, but instead it does show that T-Mobile has had some success. John points out that the more important number for Android fans will be 2, as in having a second Android phone to extend the operating system beyond a one-off device and into a true platform. Also, we heard today that The Pirate Bay's lawyer claims the judge who sentenced the four founders of the file-sharing monolith to a year in jail and a $900,000 fine was actually associated with copyright enforcement groups, and the lawyer wants a full retrial. Heading to various comment forums around the internet, it's clear that internet commenters feel like the Pirate Bay was wrongly accused and didn't deserve the punishment. What's the idea behind these commenters, what drives them to think that someone who named their site "The Pirate Bay" didn't actually think their actions helped copyright infringement? Our panel pushes out the obvious idea: Commenters like free stuff, but both delve into some of the potential ideas behind "fighting the copyright man" in the Pirate Bay's case. Do you think The Pirate Bay's trial was fair? Did they get a fair shake? Sound off in OUR comments, so we'll know what our extremely informed and well educated viewers think.

Pirate Bay trial mirrors US effects

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:07:01 GMT

While the Pirate Bay verdict was laid down on Friday, it left many people wondering what it meant for U.S.-based file sharers. We talked to Charley Brown, an intellectual property lawyer at Ballard Spahr, who says that since the case is in Sweden, obviously there's no precedent set in the US or that US lawyers could turn to. Instead, he pointed out that this case essentially mirrors what would happen if a U.S. based entity were to create the same scenario as The Pirate Bay. We'd wager, though, that if a company were to try those schennanigans in the U.S., it'd happen much sooner with the full force of the RIAA and MPAA's nastygram squad.

Somali pirates attack German navy ship Spessart: NATO Video

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:38:06 GMT

On 29 March 2009, as the German naval tanker Spessart was taking part in Operation Atalanta. Spessart was attacked by a 7-man pirate boat. In addition to the regular 40-man civilian crew, Spessart carried a 12-man security detail which exchanged small arm fire with the pirates, and repelled the assault.[3] The frigates HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën, SPS Victoria and the USS Boxer intervened and captured the pirates after a few hours of chase. Of course this is not smart, and the pirates were subsequently hunted down by a fleet of seven NATO and EU warships, and arrested. NATO video, filmed from aboard the Dutch frigate De Zeven Provincien. Distributed by Tubemogul.
