The Pirate Google: Can we please stop pretending that Google and the Pirate Bay are ‘the same thing’?

Can we be honest for one moment and admit that, yes, there is a difference between the Pirate Bay and Google? Take this new Web site called the Pirate Google.

Fox Sues the Little Guy Over Simpsons and 24

on YouTube and did what any self-respecting media company would do these days—it sued. But they’re not suing YouTube. They’re subpoenaing the company to release the name of the offending subscriber.

FOX Sweetens iTunes' "24" Season Pass With Remixes

The deal is a first for Apple’s iTunes store and it has already started doling out one of the three planned remixes, done by Crystal Method. The DJ duo is also… → Read More
