iOS 4 golden masters now on BitTorrent (illegally, of course)
Posted on June 8, 2010 | No CommentsNot surprising: iOS 4 and iTunes 9.2 (which is needed to install iOS 4) golden masters have hit the Web. I see them on at least one popular BitTorrent. Your phone’s UUID has to be registered with Apple’s developer program otherwise you’re just wasting your time. Best plan of action? Just wait the few days [...] -

Warner Bros. UK offers internship to spy on BitTorrent users
Posted on March 29, 2010 | No CommentsWarner Bros. UK is offering an internship to "IT literate" students that requires them to spy on fellow file-sharers. The intern will have to maintain accounts on private BitTorrent sites, as well as procure new accounts, in order to supply Warner Bros. UK with information on how that whole "world" works. Not a bad idea from Warner's perspective.

Vuze/Azureus being pushed out on prominent BitTorrent sites
Posted on February 19, 2010 | No CommentsThere's a bit of a controversy in the BitTorrent community, friends. Two rather prominent, so-called private trackers, whose names I will not mention "just because," have announced that they will be banning Vuze, the former Azureus, one of the elder statesmen of the BitTorrent protocol. Say what you will about the direction Vuze took—I hated it—but there isn't a more powerful torrent client under the sun. Make no mistake about it: it is an important loss, and one of the bigger developments is the recently quiet world of BitTorrent.

Yikes: Hulu flirts with, yes, having you pay to watch it.
Posted on October 23, 2009 | No CommentsHey, remember Hulu.com? It was a Web site that sort of came out of nowhere, and offered streaming TV shows from NBC and other networks. It was ad-supported, and free. People liked it. And then, one day, in October, 2009, a completely bonkers TV executive all but killed it with one sentence: “It’s time to start getting paid for broadcast content online.”

Dutch court orders, again, TPB to delete torrents, block Dutch users
Posted on October 23, 2009 | No CommentsMore news about The Pirate Bay to bore you all! (Seriously, it's not like people are still talking about the old Suprnova or Torrentspy anymore, yet the TPB has stuck around.) Some time ago, a Dutch court ordered TPB to delete a number of torrents and block Dutch IP addresses from being able to visit the site. Using a sledgehammer on a thumbtack, yes. Then TPB protested, as it does all the time, saying that it had no idea about the court case to begin with, so it couldn't make a proper defense, etc. The Dutch court agreed to give TPB a a little bit of time to work out its issues, and has now reached another, similar verdict: remove the torrents, and block Dutch IP addresses. Fun all around, really.
