The PirateBay trial ends in Jail sentences
The sentence came in today.All four defendants were accused of ‘assisting in making copyright
content available’. Peter Sunde: Guilty. Fredrik Neij: Guilty.
Gottfrid Svartholm: Guilty. Carl Lundström: Guilty. The four receive 1
year in jail each and fines totaling $3,620,000. The main argument was that there was a profit being made from the
website, so they were commercially benefiting from running the
website. Whatever way you look at this, it is a victory for the copyright
holders and the associations who represent them. This gives a bad
light to filesharing and downloading files using bittorrent. Of course the verdict was based on " assisting in making copyright
content available" which is ridiculous, since Google does exactly the
same thing, or any other search engine for that matter. Of all places where such a decision would be reached, Sweden was the
last place on Earth where I expected it to come from. http://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-trial-the-verdict-090417/ http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/18/world/europe/18copy.html?_r=1&ref=global-home http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8003799.stm http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/17/110235&from=rss

What happens when you exceed Gmail's storage?
So here's a scary thought...Ever since I started using Gmail, back in 2004, there has been one thing I never had to worry about. Space. Storage. That is... until today.
Today, I open my Gmail and to my surprise I see a message that says I had exceeded Gmail storage and that I wouldn't be getting any new mail until I deleted some of my stored email!!!
Now I'm seriously worried about potentially having lost some of my incoming messages. Has anyone tried to contact me lately and got a mail bouncing back?
