Pirate Bay Gives EA the Middle Finger

I just love it when people don't give a shit, and show it poetically. Electronic Arts has been dissing the Pirate Bay with emails threatening them with a lawsuit. Here's an example of how went down, and how TPB reacted:

> This unauthorized activity with respect to the
> distribution of EA's software products
> constitutes infringement of EA's intellectual
> property rights. EA enforces its intellectual
> property rights very aggressively
> by using every legal option available.

Please don't sue us right now, our lawyer is passed out
in an alley from too much moonshine, so please atleast
wait until he's found and doesn't
have a huge hangover...

It doesn't stop here. There are also threats from Apple, Microsoft, Dreamworks, etc. which TPB also responded in kind. Technically, TPB isn't commiting any sort of copyright infringement. They are only expressing free media. If anything, I think they're bridging the gap between different types of culture. The companies that are pressing these lawsuits are really digging themselves into a hole. I think the only way to stop "piracy", which is really a very fluid concept, is to stop selling their software.

For now, until they can illegalize BitTorrent technology, TPB will continue to rock on and continue to practice free media. I'd like to tell everybody from TPB, "God is on your side."

Same Old, Same Old

I don't think I should be writing anything here today. I don't feel anything's changed. Sure, I have a lot of free time now, but I sure am doing nothing about it. I don't know. I just don't care anymore. I told an ex-coworker who asked me what do I want to do in the future, this is what I told him: "If somebody wanted me dead, I'm not sure if I'm going to make a hit on him before he does me, or if I just sit, wait, and welcome death."

This is how vague my concept of a future is. I don't even know what I'm going to do tomorrow, how much more plan out the rest of my life. Honestly, I want to die. I feel I have no purpose in this life anymore. If only I didn't have a loving and supportive family, it would really be easier to take my own life.
