com as mãos atadas pela condenação de abril passado, que não só prevê o pagamento de eu$3 milhões como também a prisão de seus quatro fundadores, o the pirate bay resolveu se sujeitar à compra pela global gaming factory x ab.
the myth is over that the pirate bay would carry on as an underground site, even if its co-founders lost their appeals and went to prison for a year. (...) "the pirate bay is a site that is among the top 100 most visited internet sites in the world. however, in order to live on, the pirate bay requires a new business model, which satisfies the requirements and needs of all parties, content providers, broadband operators, end users, and the judiciary," hans pandeya, global gaming's chief executive, said in astatement. "content creators and providers need to control their content and get paid for it."
mais um baluarte da resistência vira pastiche. a comoção é geral:
the surprise announcement that the pirate bay has walked the plank has sent heads spinning. many of the site's users are mocking the decision as an affront to the co-founders' stated ideal that nothing will take down pirate bay, and that content should be free.
enquanto isso, os porcos se satisfazem:
following tuesday's announced sale, the content industry is cautiously optimistic that the pirate bay is taking on water and about to sink. "we don't know the details and there are many questions to ask about how this will work in practice, but we would be delighted if this resulted in the pirate bay turning into a legitimate licensed service," said john kennedy, chairman of the international federation of the phonographic industry, the world's leading recording industry trade group that helped bring the criminal case against the pirate bay.é, sem dúvida, a vomitadinha do dia.
