“Edging ever closer to becoming law, France’s “three-strikes” proposals have received support in the French Senate which voted overwhelmingly in favor for these draconian measures to deal with piracy.

There have been yet more attempts at brainwashing and fear-mongering would-be pirates under the guise of education. It seems to me, they would spend alot less time and money evolving to meet the demands of the new millennium, rather than fighting, harassing, and hurting the very people they are trying to sell to. The National Center for State Courts, a nonprofit organization, has sent file-sharin

Calls file trading a hidden benefit of owning a computerThere's no denying the significant problem piracy poses for PC game developers. It's an issue that hurts game developers, but consider the effect of piracy on PC hardware manufacturers.

Nolan Bushnell is full of it. There, I finally got that off my chest. It's arguably acerbic and rather rude, but it needed to be said. You have no idea how hard I've tried to avoid saying it. After all, he's the founder of Atari and a historical figure unto his own. He deserves certain respect for that.The first time Nolan Bushnell claimed that the "encryption chip" will end piracy, I exercised du

"With great power comes great responsibility." Wise words, Uncle Ben, but someone at BioWare wasn't listening. For those who hate following links, the short version of the story is that BioWare was going to implement draconian anti-piracy measures in Mass Effect and Spore for PC. In the end, they won't be doing it, but it wasn't for the lack of trying. Indeed, I tend to agree with Penny Arcade whe
Paulo Coelho, author of books such as “The Alchemist” and “The Witch of Portobello”, sold over 100 million books last year. In part, he puts this success down to BitTorrent, as he saw a huge increase in sales when his books appeared on sites such as The Pirate Bay. We talked to Coelho to find [...]
