May 31, 2006: Pirate Bay Raided, Shuttered

2006: Swedish police raid The Pirate Bay website and shut it down.

“Pirate Bay was a huge source of pirated films for people around the world, and today they are no longer.”

That was a statement issued exactly five years ago Tuesday by Kori Bernards, a spokeswoman for the Motion Picture Association of America.

After all, Swedish police that day had just raided the file sharing site’s offices and carted away a boatload of servers.

Le meilleur moyen de découvrir les sensations de la chute libre est le saut en parachute en tandem. C'est ce que propose Forest Pullman: lui et sa parternaire de saut l'ont échappé belle. L'avion qui les a emmenés à 4000m les a frolés lors de leur saut. Fort heureusement personne ne fut blessé mais tous les 2 ont eu leur lot de sensations très fortes

While vacationing in France, you find a DVD of Ishtar. Score! (It’s never been released on DVD in the US). But when you get home, you discover that you’ve purchased a Region 2 disc, which, in your Region 1 player, is as useful as a coaster. This raises two questions: Why do you want to watch Ishtar?

Regional restrictions began in 1997, as DVD technology was rolling out. They have nothing to do with the NTSC and PAL...
