First the pirate bay got sold:
http://www.thelocal.se/20364/20090630/
key sentence: GGF said in the statement that it wanted content providers and copyright owners to get paid for content downloaded from The Pirate Bay, which is currently free of charge and does not pay copyright fees.
Second Blizzard blames the pirates for.... no LAN support in Starcraft II:
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/30/starcraft-2-blizzard-responds-to-lack-of-lan-support/
key sentence: So, let it hereby be noted that pirates killed the LAN parrrrrty.
I'm kinda sad :/ wonder if this is the start of many changes or not.
I already planned to buy sc2 but the sale of tpb, even if it wasn't the best torrent site out there, is really the loss of a big symbol for the whole "pirate" community.
We'll see what happends from there, what are you guys thoughts on the issue?
