Kudos to ESPN’s World Cup live stream
Posted on June 11, 2010 | No CommentsHere's a slight update to my World Cup "all you need to know" post from yesterday. I completely forgot to mention that ESPN3.com is streaming all the games live and totally for free. No need to mess around with shady P2P streams.

UK ISPs prepare for Digital Economy P2P fallout
Posted on April 13, 2010 | No CommentsThe Digital Economy Act passed in the UK, as you know, and it's pretty terrible. One of the more spicy sections of the law involved peer-to-peer use, and how it basically makes ISPs responsible for what their customers download. So if HBO finds that you've been download “The Pacific,” (really good show, by the way, much to my surprise) it can contact your ISP, who's then responsible for telling you to knock if off. If not, you face a truly horrible punishment: you're sent to Stoke! (That's a joke, people!)

Panic: UK file-sharers may well be disconnected from ISPs starting in 2011
Posted on October 28, 2009 | No CommentsThe ban hammer is about to smash UK file-sharers. Legislation there is set to take effect in April that would, as a last resort, kick illegal file-sharers off the Internet. Very exciting~!

Beware the ‘r word’ when reading up on Net Neutrality
Posted on October 23, 2009 | No CommentsThe beauty of the Drudge Report right now is that Mr. Drudge is working against his very interests. He's got some ridiculous headline right now, JULIUS AT FCC WANTS TO 'REGULATE' INTERNET, that's meant to wile up his easily excitable readership. What's going on is that the FCC has moved one step closer to bringin Net Neutrality to fruition, and has invited the public to weigh in until January 14.

Are The Pirate Bay’s servers now stored in a nuclear bunker?
Posted on October 8, 2009 | No CommentsI think we've all had our fill of The Pirate Bay stories, but here's one more in the interest of killing five minutes. The site moved its servers from Sweden to Ukraine last week, and rather than have its servers being stored in some random server farm, they're being stored in a former NATO nuclear bunker. So we think, at least.

Host a Wordpress site on your Windows Home Server (soon)
Posted on October 2, 2009 | No CommentsEveryone loves Wordpress and everyone loves Windows Home Server. Using Wordpress to host a site on your WHS just makes sense! But don’t go looking for the download link just yet, it doesn’t seem the add-in is available yet, but I like the possibilities it holds. With the add-on you’ll soon be able to quickly and [...] -
It’s time for The Pirate Bay to die
Posted on August 25, 2009 | No CommentsYou need only one word to describe The Pirate Bay. It comes from the Ancient Greek, is six letters long, and entered the English language in 1884, some 120 years before the Web site's founding. When The Pirate Bay starts to compare its struggles to those of Western Europe during World War II—you know, the struggle against Nazi Germany—only one word is needed. That word is hubris, and if it were possible to die from hubris, The Pirate Bay would have already expired. Hopefully there's no such thing as copyright in Heaven (or Hell).

Sweden’s anti-piracy law sure seems to be working
Posted on August 4, 2009 | No CommentsSweden's anti-piracy law, IPRED, seems to be working, insofar as various Internet traffic monitors have seen a significant downturn in piracy. The day after the law went into effect, Web traffic fell by some 30 percent, and now, several months later (the law went into effect on April 1), an ISP there says piracy-related traffic is still “free-falling.”

Don’t condemn AT&T too quickly for blocking 4chan (now with AT&T’s official explanation!)
Posted on July 27, 2009 | No CommentsTo quote Grandpa Simpson, “Oh, bitch, bitch, bitch.” Today I woke up to reports that AT&T was being Evil, blocking access to certain sections of 4chan, which you'll see described as anything from a “Wild West” to a “hornet's nest.” (That blocking has since stopped, by the way.) I like to describe it as the last honest place on the Internet. People are creative like that. Anyhow, before you e-riot or whatever, consider this posting by an admin at unWired, another ISP that was blocking access to 4chan.

Giganews gives 50 percent off for newly Usenet-less AT&T customers
Posted on July 9, 2009 | No CommentsLadies and germs! If you're an AT&T Broadband customer you should know that your ISP is shutting off access to Usenet at the end of the month. Why? Yup, it's related to that whole smear campaign from last year. Some nonsense about illegal content that may or may not be there. Anyway, Giganews has a little sale for you guys: 50 percent off three months of the Diamond Plan and 20 percent off other Giganews plans.
