Industry group AFACT has launched legal action against iiNet, claiming it infringed copyright by not preventing pirated material from being downloaded by its customers.

AFACT (The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft) said that the move “was necessary because the ISP ignored repeated notices over many months identifying thousands of illegal file transfers via iiNet’s network carried out by its customers.”

Full story here, commentary from iiNet user and unpopular low-rent blogger “Panda” after the jump.

Yeah I know it’s not really new anymore, but I’ve been too busy getting sued to notice.

Anyway I just wanted to say it looks slick Jeff, but I kinda liked the bit with all the common tags in font size relative to their popularity. Even though it’s a massive web cliche, I thought it provided a fun and thought-provoking overview of the site’s culture to any newcomers foolish enough to stumble our way.

Thorts?

A few things that I experienced today..

I heard the new Guns and Roses album, Chinese Democracy.. (I kind of wish that I lived in the states so that i could have got my free Dr Pepper)
Im not a huge G’N’R fan, but goddamn, I only listened to the first 4 songs and i can safely say that it is one of the biggest piles of shit that i have ever heard
Listen to, if you can, track #4 ‘Street of Dreams’.. There were 4 seperate occasions at work today, where people who listened to it cracked up laughing at how shocking it is
It took them 14 years to make that?

What does everyone (who has used it) think of the new xbox(wii)360 dash xperience thing?
I thought that it was kind of cool and scary because of the newness

It’s hilarious. And sad. But hilarious. But sad.

Harmony got immunised against some nasty stuff and as a consolation to the traumatic needle incident we received a book.

And as an added bonus we got photos of our very own damo!

He’s a big hit with the kids.

There are some photos from the EB xmas party. Click here and look at them.

New pictures of a one of the hottest girls i have met and had funky times with back in 2002 - 2003. Is she up to standards or what?

We have reached the halfway mark of Movember and It seems that many of you guys are struggling to get online donations for you Mo’s! In fact, of the 380 stores that have signed up to Movember, only a mere $550 has been raised, vs the $4000 THQ has raised.

Via deduction, we account for close to 20% of the whole of EB GAMES’ fund raising effort. Either we are fucking awesome, or EBGames are fucking lousy fundraisers.

I actually like you, you know.

I used to play a certain game, many will know of it.

It dominated my life for long periods of time, consuming me, pushing me to progress further and further, to achieve that one more shiny reward.

I cut work to play it - I justified it because my friends did it too. I knew it was unhealthy, I knew it was an addiction - but like many addicts, I did not care.

Anyway, I have been clean and resisted the urge to relapse for over a year now. But the constant peer pressure is too much. I can’t change who I am. With exciting new content on offer I am powerless to resist. My willpower has been tested and I have failed.

And you 7-foot Sudanese dudes wonder why I give you such a wide berth. Could it be because you might be packing knives and looking for someone to kill?

No wai. That would be a racial stereotype!

If you can watch even a few minutes of this and not be overcome with the incredible urge to play this game, then I submit that you, sir, are the zombie.

Upon its release under the alternative working title of Far Cry 2 (due to copyright infringement), this game garnered enviable quantities of positive critique. And I’m not saying these gaming journalists were wrong - they’re just stupid. And tasteless. And wrong.
