Seems like they’re closing in on sites. TPB is only the first step in removal and penalizing of torrent sites. The next step is fining ISPs. The obvious mistake anti-piracy groups are making is restricting usage over the Internet when it obviously cannot be stopped…a new technology for sharing will pop up and people would go through the same circle of banning.

So good news is that file-sharing won’t stop, bad news is that a few individuals are going to take the fall like Peter Sunde of TPB. Prosecution will only bring more attention to torrents and then it will truly become uncontrollable so live free and share freely like the pirates….arrrrgh!

i like TF TV stuff but please don’t include your opinion on the video.

She puts forward her opinion on apple disallowing the bt software. I agree with her opinion but i disagree with the fact that ‘newsreporter’ is putting forward her own opinion. Instead…what she could have done is read one of those comments in TF that put forward that perspective.

keep up the good work!

Pretty good, but I agree with #14 though.

That Pirate Bay anthem is atrocious, and you guys really need a new presenter who doesn’t sound like they’re reading monotonously from an auto-cue. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

i don’t know, i kind of liked it. have you seen some of the remixes on youtube? a lot of times they come out better than the original, being that it was so bare.

22 May 21, 2009 at 02:38 by Rick

You’re getting better with each episode. Great work.

And Statia seems to be getting more and more confident. Confident is HOT!

23 May 21, 2009 at 03:04 by hmm

@stacia

absolutely amazing! This show just gets better and better!

not to mention you keep getting hotter and hotter… whats with that? :P

25 May 21, 2009 at 11:49 by The Queef

A new pirate-bay anthem ?? What the hell happend to “yo ho ho and a bottle of rum”??

Nice episode,but I wouldn’t mind if it’s longer then just a few minutes.

cheers,

man she is lookin hot, better then she has looked before..

the pirate anthem i think its pretty much retarded… ive never heard of an anthem that freaking long.. i thought anthems were supposed to be shorter and not just a song repeating the same lyrics over and over.. seriously it blows.. dont call it an anthem.. call it a SONG.

Or mabye I have just no idea what an anthem is supposed to be..

in any case the video is still getting better but not quite there.. shes far better then the last chick which annoyed me beyond words.. at least she SEEMS competent and is trying to add her own style to the video.. which she hasn’t exactly figured out yet..

keep it up, you will get there.

i want to have your babies.

28 May 22, 2009 at 00:54 by Turbis

Good show, sounded a but unrehearsed though :P

@ 27

dude, she had a vasectomy and can’t leave you pregnant. :/

Well done, getting better and better every time. Stasha is improving her features alot, she looks very beautiful with that outfit and her makeup and hair looks great. I think she is improving her own style, you guys should get her involved in some of the techie stuff so she has a better perspective and doesnt have to feel like she is following a script. It will help her with comming up with her own style.

I agree that you guys should drop the opinions, they do make the episodes look unprofessional. Also you guys should focus more on what matters, some of the content seems like fillers.

Good episode… haven’t had time to sit and watch since probably episode 3… production standards were fantastic in this episode.

32 May 22, 2009 at 16:36 by Mr Adobe

Surely you can make a better title/opening sequence? It looks like it was made on a ZX Spectrum.

33 May 22, 2009 at 16:58 by twigg

damn shes looking hot

34 May 22, 2009 at 22:04 by haha

bingo wings :D

Can you post a list at the end with links to the stuff you mentioned. I know I sound like a professor asking you to cite your sources, but it would be a nice thing to have links to click on.

36 May 24, 2009 at 00:02 by Anon

This wouldnt be shit if it wasnt old news

37 May 24, 2009 at 19:18 by Nea

I agree with #14, great job otherwise! :D
