No it streams them, the central computer does all the hard work, so any computer that is fast enough to send the data of a keyboard/mouse or controller can run the most demanding games, a 386 should be sufficient for Crysis.Quote:

That way the industry has adapted to filesharing and the customers get their video games as a badly compressed stream with no way to mod games and complete dependancy on the online service, no wonder EA and other big publishers have already said they'll participate. If they'd release their games exclusively on OnLive then they use some of the best copy protection possible while the customers get absolutely no control at all anymore, you can't really copy the game if all you ever get is a video stream.Quote:

This trial is a joke...
First of all, even the police officers who conducted the raid of TPB questioned if it was really lawful.
Secondly, the trial as a whole wasn't a joke, it was a bad joke. Most swedes followed this trial. Swedens BIGGEST newspaper had a poll: "was this a good evict". 90% of the pollers said the court had judged wrong.
Third, media now discovered that the judge (again: in sweden we dont have a jury, the judge is the one who decides basicly) is bought by foreign powers.
Ok, to be honest, it isnt proven he is bought, maybe he just choose to spend his free time fighting online "piracy".
I'm ashamed of being :sweden: on a day like this.
I don't know about Germany but it's perfectly legal here. It's perfectly legal in Sweden as well, that judge's corruption is going to fly in his face pretty hard.Quote:

I only hope the good people of Sweden have longer memories than my fellow US citizens.
Who was that fellow with the scam? Can't think of his name now. Oh well, there's a guy who wants to sell me some stock contacting me via AIM. :tongueg:
EDIT:
Does Sweden have double jeopardy?
It may be legal but that doesn't make it right.Quote:

Yes 2 swedish lads has brought up charges against Google, I will do my best to translate.
Quote:
This thuesday the boys from Härnösand, Alex and Rickard walked into the police station to report Google for a crime.
The police read it and thought about it before stamping the report for copyright infringement.
Now the world's largest search engine on the internet been reported and this could turn out to be a thriller.
How did you come up with reporting this giant ??
-Because of the verdict against Pirate Bay, Googles activities has been brought up for discussion, if they also commit crimes against copyright. By reporting them, they will get their activities investigated.
The 2 boys that see the matter as a matter of justice understand that this is a sensitive subject. Already before lunch the comments have poured in on allehanda.se. Even in other locations the debate is in full swing.
What do you wanna achieve by this ??
- Because of the verdict against TPB, we wanna see where the limit goes. We also want a debate on the regulation of the internet. It would be best if IPRED would get removed all together
Isn't Google better then TPB ??
- Both deliver a service used by many. We can't claim one is better then the other, we leave that to the individual
Do you think you will succeed ??
- If Google commits illegal activities or not remains to be seen. But we think it will be good for the debate.
Why do you care(or why are you commited to this) ??
-We feel that this is the wrong path to come to terms with the music and movie industries loss in revenue.
The question involves all that uses the internet, no matter if you pirate, email or just chat.
-The point isn't to bring Google down, it's to bring IPRED down.
I called in and reported www.google.se aswell as blocket.se... However, the police refused to accept my report.
I then reported myself, as i had copied a casett back in the 80's aswell as a VHS in the 90'2 and given to a friend...
Again they refused to accept my report.
Idiots.
I wonder what exactly would be the correct way to come to rterms with it? Close the industry down and look for other jobs? Invest money and give the products away for free? Or maybe the model for public TV and radio here in Germany where a government agency collects money from everyone with a TV or radio?Quote:

I blame Canada:
We are the root of all evil.Quote:

France to crack down on internet piracy
By Esther Bintliff in Paris

France is set to introduce the world’s most draconian laws against internet piracy, after parliamentarians voted on Tuesday to give the government powers to cut off offenders’ internet access.
The controversial draft law would create an agency to police illegal downloading of copyright material.

Sarko just wants all the hi speed downloads for himself :grin:
