I guess there is some justice after all. Battlefield entertainment has now plummeted to the level of Christian hip-hop groups. Which only adds insult to injury after the constant barrage of politicians trying to prop up their own careers.

Slashdot got on the Slyck story but the best exchange can be found in the /. commentary:
ndansmith:
Winners: People who enjoy shared music and movies for free.
Losers: **AAs, whose obsolete business model is faltering
Biggest Losers: The poor pre-teens and grandparents dragged into court by the **AAs.

Just to sum it up. The US wants to track you using an embedded GPS receiver which sends its position and route to a DMV registry at steady intervals. No privacy whatsoever guaranteed. Malfunction may render your car useless.
Sweden wants all new cars to be fitted with alcolocks (”breathalyzers”). The technology is unreliable. Malfunction may […]
Remember the slew of games, Starforce 3 and Securom 7 protected, that were never given a proper crack (no-cd/dvd) and instead released as clone CD or DVD images?

This is the great America, where the unclaimed dead piles up and gets thrown in virtually unmarked graves. En masse.
Sploid - Services were held last week for 1,619 men and women cremated and buried in a mass grave by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. All of them died in 2001 and not one of […]
Or analog hole. It’s not difficult to figure out who the a-holes are in this story of government aided corporate abuse.
TechNewsWorld - Congress is leaving a special gift under the tree for Hollywood’s film industry. Just before closing for the holidays, legislators introduced a new proposal designed to curb redistribution of movies.

In principle, I could agree with the basic premiss. But as the article says, most violent crime is committed by kids who have never owned an XBOX or whatever. They just come from a crappy background and you can be sure that the American society, or indeed the Swedish for that matter, wouldn’t be interested […]
