In the footsteps of Big Brother

Yesterday internet piracy recieved a blow to the head when the guys behind The Pirate Bay was found guilty in the swedish courtroom.

Now it seems Norway is following the trend that Sweden has created with more strict rules when it comes to piracy. 
Yesterday the Mail- and Telecommition managed to get through a plea that says that the ISP's are required to give up information about their customers ID, if a court has determined that there is strong suspicion for piracy. That means that such information can be given to a third party via the court of law.  Police have already been able to access such information, but this opens up for civil lawsuits without the involvement of police authority. Just imagine Blizzard going after individuals.

This happened during a spescific case, but there is no reason to believe this isnt one step in a larger plan. Even the Director of the commition says:

— I think its about time we make the internet a legal place, whereas we avoid anarchy, sharks and petty thiefs. (Willy Jensen, Director of the Mail and Telecommition in Norway)

Luckily this doesnt mean the stasi-supervision that our brothers to the east is experiencing, or that the ISP's will rat you out. It means that the norwegian court may get a warrant to break the confidentiality that the ISP's are legally bound to.

At the same time, the political party "Høyre" is promising to give pirates a hard time if they win the election.
To be honest Im uncertain why on earth they'd go out with such a statement? I would think that there is a whole lot more people who download then who are afraid of being downloaded, and those who dont use internet much probably wont care about such anyway. So its not exactly a great strategy to win. 

On the topic of piracy, the creators of Demigod released numbers showing that only 18 000 people connected with a bought licence, while a whooping 100 000 connected with pirated copies, causing the connectivity issues that was such a large problem during the first day.
Thats what you get for shipping it out without any sort of protection.

#¤%& Demigodly Christ!!

Talk about the king of premature releases!

Okay so like Ive already mentioned before, Im playing Demigod atm. And it was disappointing in most aspects yet entertaining. 

Yea entertaining. Its entertaining to be able to rise in ranks, gain favour points and see the fruits of your labour showing off. So far I havent lost one single match. Ive played a few matches. But for some reason the idiotic game has managed to only register 4 games on me, none in Pantheon (the ongoing tournament), only 144 Favour points when I should have well over 500+,  it has reset all my achivements and listen to this:
It managed to register two lost games on me. That I HADN'T lost!

That victory screenshot I posted earlier, do you think it registered it? NO! IT REGISTERED AS A LOSS!

Oooooh it makes my blood BOIL! MAD MAD MAD SKAM!

Just Sayin'....

Demigod

Im currently playing Demigod.

Mostly clichè characters (some cool and orignal though), no campaign, not much variety and a not entirely original concept (DoTA in a new form, really.) yet its mildly entertaining. 

But cant help but feel a little disappointed by it. I was expecting more. 
I know there will be more heroes to choose from in future patches, and probably other content aswell. But the game just feels like a demo, almost.

Graphics are nice though. My comp cant handle the lag all that well though, specially when there is a serious amount of soldiers on the map. 
I really need a new comp... stat.
