The chief investigating officer in the Pirate Bay case who was revealed as recently working for Warner Bros, has been reported to the police. Yesterday the Pirate Bay crew filed “at least” three complaints, and further people have been reported for bribing the police.
ThePirateBay.org is under scrutiny by many large companies. These companies are all mad at TPB because they host torrent files of content that the companies could be selling. Since TPB is located in Sweden I think, none of the files that are hosted their really give US companies any jurisdiction.
The Police that will be investigating The Pirate Bay has worked for Warner Bros before, and it is said that he will return to work for Warner Bros after the case is done with.
Various media and anti-piracy agencies all want a large piece of the Pirate Bay crew and between them are demanding millions of dollars in compensation, a point that is contested by Brokep: “In fact, they owe us a shitload of money. All the time we’ve spent on being called criminals and hunted down by private investigators and getting our stuff stolen by them - it’s gonna be expensive for them.”
Brokep says their initial target is police officer and IT forensics expert Jim Keyzer, who they clearly see as corrupt:
“We reported the police officer yesterday. For a lot of different reasons, at least three criminal complaints were filed. But you know what? It’s illegal to bribe the police as well. So more people have been reported to the police.”
Brokep is clearly in defiant mood: “So who’s the fucking criminals really? Hey Hollywood assholes - Be afraid. Very afraid. The law is coming to serve justice.”
The Pirate Bay crew say that when the case is over, they will demand compensation for all the time and money they have invested in this “media circus”.
I’ve recently learned/confirmed the golden rule of making money, and maybe getting rich. The method of make,take, invest, and repeat is a surefire way to get/gain wealth. From the online webmaster to the average-everyday-entrepreneur, this method holds true. I’ll elaborate a bit more on the idea;
I actually got the jst of that from some money-making CD my stepdad owns. It’s common-knowledge though, the only problem is the fact that it’s somewhat hard to follow. You have to have some strength to hold back on spending extra, or trying to save to much.
Hopefully this helps some people out? ![]()
Apparently another guy was arrested over making an obviously fake threat on the internet today. The threat was Made on JuicyCampus, which is a site where kids/teens can gossip about their schools I guess. Something I would never use, but I guess it’s pretty popular (It is now! lol). I know threats are wrong, and you shouldn’t do it in real life, nor on the internet… but I definitely think that the people should be given a little more slack when it comes to the internet.
Despite school shootings being horrible, I’m certain mosts teens have made some wise crack about pulling a VT, and even elaborated on that.
This person was arrested for writing:
“I wonder if i could shut down the school by saying I’m going to shoot as many people as i can in my second class tomorrow.I hope I get more than 50,”
George So says, and then goes on to add
“For liability reasons and IP tracking I won’t leave it at that. But seriously, this site is rediculous [sic], if it got big, and someone put the effort into writing a big long serious suicide note informing all readers that he would kill over 100 kids, they could shut down the school. Nice.”
To me that doesn’t even sound like a threat, but the police thought that it had to be taken seriously. Obviously with all of the recent school shootings, they needed to be careful. George So’s colleague told the campus police about the post, and the campus police then told the city police. George So ended up being arrested, and his apartment was searched (where no weapons were found).
So… long story short, much adieu about nothing.
Wikipedia:
North Korea is the commonly used short form name for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (or DPRK[4]), a state located in East Asia, in the northern half of the Korean Peninsula, with its capital in the city of Pyongyang.
To the south, separated by the Korean Demilitarized Zone, lies South Korea, with which it formed one nation until division following World War II. At its northern Amnok River border are China and, separated by the Tumen River in the extreme north-east, Russia.
I just watched a video on North Korea today, and it got me to thinking how much I want them gone. Not to sound mean or anything, but they have nuclear weapons and they hate Americans. The documentary I watched showed a mother walking to kindergarten with her young daughter, and singing some song about crushing the Americans. “We will bring them to there knees” (not an exact quote, but something about bringing them to their knees and then killing them).
Of course lots of people hate Americans, but the decision to go to war with American lies with one man. Not the entire country of people. What their leader Kim Jong-Il says, goes. So if he says he wants to go and attack us, then the rest of the country will follow his will.
Anyways I don’t want to go on and on about it, I just thought North Korea was weird as hell… so I wanted to share. You can find out more about the Korea in the North at the Wik~
A friend of mine has recently created a new webmaster resource site. Of course if he ever hopes to surpass some of the top webmaster forums already out there he’s going to need something new right? I believe LeetWebmasters does have something unique about it.
First of all, it includes many different parts, for webmaster articles (pssh… mine are way better though of course). It contains useful tutorials, guides, and a community, or at least somewhere a community could be made. I suggest joining leetwebmasters, as I know the owner personally and he will make it worth your while. You’ll most likely learn tips and tricks that you couldn’t find elsewhere. Despite being new, the owner means business and he’ll have a full fledged forum in no time. Go HERE to sign up!
Data, if my blog was more popular, I’d definitely make you pay me for this. lol Just kidding ![]()
Technorati.com is a great site for blog owners to get their site known. I suggest signing up at their site if you think your blog has any valuable information. Or any sort of information that you want other people to read. Without technorati… your blog is like a lincoln log without some little kid there building something out of you. Like a dinner with nobody to kick itself. Anyways, I’m sure you get the point by now.
Technorati is a good blog-master tool to help get your content known

If you ever wondered why your 50 year old teacher isn’t married, has no kids, and seems like a total geek. It’s not just because he/she is a total book nerd. It’s because she sold her soul to World of Warcraft.
I’m not even kidding when I say My Teacher Pwns me at WOW, I’m lying because it’s actually my friends teacher… but still, I’m not joking. Apparently during class a couple of my friends were talking about the online sensation, World of Warcraft and their teacher ended up hearing. She made some comment about “trying to get away from WOW”. When my friends asked her what she was talking about she said she had two geared 70’s. Which really just means she’s totally hardcore.
Unfortunately for her, the only people looking for girls that play WOW when they’re that old… Are other guys that play WOW and are also that old. Some geeks may call her a hero, but I kinda think it’s just a little bit too much. She would’ve had to have gotten into WOW when she was already far a long in her adulthood. Which means she never went through a phase where she actually played the game as a kid. Then we could give her a slight break on account of, she could be having nostalgia.
Anyways, just thought I’d share a funny fact. Old-Spanish-Teacher-Plays-WOW-and-has-two-geared-level-seventies~

Ok, there are certain quotes on the internet that I just cannot stand to not-share with anyone. Meaning that I have a few hilarious quotes that I must share with you.
The first quote being:
Drieick…the name echoes in a misty gorge.The name commands respect. Who is this Drieick? Drieick is a man’s man. Women want him, men want to be him.
You ask yourself why you get up in the morning. Is it because the birds sing, the flowers grow and the sun shines? Is it the freshly brewed cup of hot java waiting for your emergence on a crisp dawn, or perhaps the daily call to arms? Nay. Tis but one reason: Drieick.
His prose moves like water. Fluid. Willowy. Graceful. Wispy as the summer breeze. He’s possessed of a fawn’s elegant neck and even his tiptoes would remind you of gazelles treading in protracted strides. He’s genuine, timid to a fault, oblivious to his iridescent beauty. It’s quite stirring; it’s quite disarming. Love is a peculiar thing. It transcends understanding. It rises above the cruelty of things. It whispers “…..Drieick….”
I hope that one day I am able to see a canadian. What do canadians look like anyways? Maybe I have seen one and not noticed?
Alright, I’m going to list some great forums, and what they’re useful for. (Usually pertaining to webmaster’s unless it’s one of my forums). I’ll try to list the forums in order of PR, and help you to determine which ones are good for signature links.
Signature Links are a great way to build up backlinks, and add pagerank to your websites. The higher the pr of the forum you have signature links on, and the more posts you make, the better the boost your sig link will give you. Hence you will become higher ranked in search engines, and ultimatize your SEO awesomeness.
DigitalPoint Forums: PR7
Digital point has been the most useful forum for me in my webmaster-ing career. Atleast so far that is. They have a huge member base, and all the better for receiving help. You can find tons of guides on there, searching the forums will usually give you better results than google. I definitely recommend you sign up for digitalpoint forums if you are an aspiring webmaster.
V7N: The forums are ranked at PR5
V7N is somewhat of a dying forum, but it used to be equal to digitalpoint’s greatness. It has a lot of members, but few are very active now. You are allowed to have signature links once you get 50 posts… which is somewhat of a crappy deal. Despite V7N being a dying forum, there is still quite a bit of useful information on there.
SitePoint: PR 4 (forums)
Many people use sitepoint to auction off their sites, and seek advise. Sitepoint is also a webhosting company (which i advise against).
Direct Advertisement: PR 0
Direct Advertisement is a forum built to help owners of websites, and forums (more specifically). It includes many free services for advertising websites. The more members direct advertisement has, the more potential members you get when you advertise your site there. Anyways, despite being PR0, the forum is more active than all the other sites I have listed here, other than Digitalpoint.
SEOChat: PR 4
A great forum for finding information on SEO (Search Engine Optimization), although there isn’t many people to talk to any more. Again, a good place for putting links in your signature.
I’ll probably update this list of useful forums later, if you have one that is either high PR, or high on traffic and users, or contains lots and lots of useful information. Feel free to comment on this post and I can add you to the list.
Often times on forums, which are great resources and fun users seem to misuse the versatility and range of text effects. They end up tYPING lIKE DiS. Or maybe they try to keep it subtle, but every single one of their posts is different from everybody elses.
Maybe they center the text
Maybe they Italicize everything
Maybe they Italicize and bold everything
Maybe they italicize, bold, and color everything
I personally find it somewhat annoying when members of forums make the text of every single post they make special. Like, why do you waste your time adding useless text effects to your posts? Of course it’s their time and they can do with it what they want, I just hate them all for it (not, I’m kidding).
Which is completely random and unnecessary… but hey, not trying to be Bitchy here, I just calls it as I Sees it.
Another post that doesn’t really have any meaning or use… to anything.
