A nice graph starting that early January 2006. Note the vertical line at the end. I have a little ticker playing a fanfare every time a new members joins and its still playing at 00:29. Every other minute or so. With any hope we will reach 20 000 members by the morning. Lots of demonstrations are planned for tomorrow. So lots of people will be getting up bright and early and they deserve some good news in the morning.
Today was a weird day. It started in a deep sense of hopelessness with the guilty verdict. But as the day wore on it’s turning into more of a righteous anger. OMG Internets!(sv) sent me to a awesome key note by the man who gave us The Machine is Us/ing Us. This is what the conflict is all about. Should the greatest communication platform be free to explore and use by anyone or should it be controlled, filtered and censored into a cable-TV network.
Some of the highlights of the day was an interview with(sv) some Swedish artist where Anders Wedin aka Moneybrother said:
I don’t know what to say, no way in hell did I expect this. they where sentenced to jail! I was unsure whether there was actually any crime committed at all. I think the fines seem astoundingly high, but I want to side with the artists. Downloading is something you do on ones own authority.
When asked if he was surprised but happy, he replied:
I think amphetamine has been really helpful to me and I would really love to see it handed out to school children. I’d rather you write that then that I’m pleased with the verdict.
Another “sensation” was that judge Thomas Nordlund, who held a press conference after the verdict was handed out, was totally unprepared to answer questions in English… I guess it’s just more proof multiple worlds (co)exist simultaneously. Then again the certified translator they used during the trial was horridly bad at English. So maybe they should let the pirates do all the translating.
19845 members, getting close now.
Apparently the verdict was leaked from the court before the official time. TorrentFreak has the story. It’s sort of strange but I’m not sure what bearing it might have.
ROFLMAONAISE is similar ROFLMAO but it has naise on the end to sound like a pus like substance commonly found on nerds faces
Armin Van Buuren’s very simply ahead of the class, I actually was at the Netherlands world cup game with him and his record label manager a few nights ago. He’s a great individual, and DJ.
