Slashdot has some followup on the weekend’s BitTorrent shutdowns. Apparently there were some arrests over the weekend, and many threats of arrest. Haven’t had time to go over them in any detail (off to Christmas shop) but check ’em out.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…

An official RIAA press release quotes Cary Sherman, President of the RIAA, as saying ““Enforcement online or on the street is always a means to an end — helping foster business environments where legitimate commerce can take route and flourish, while creators can earn their fair share.”
Take “route?” Maybe you mean “root,” RIAA?
You know, a spell-checker is not a usage or grammar checker. Makes me wonder if their complaints have any faulty information, like names of defendants. 😉
Editor’s note: I was unaware that the RIAA was concerned with giving creators their fair share. I wonder if most creators would agree with the RIAA as to just what their fair share would be.
