Just noticed that isonews is no more and the krazy8 is facing 5 years incarceration for selling modchips.
Now before this turns into the same old tired debate about the morality of warez I'd like to state that I am not condoning illegal software piracy at all, I just think it's a fairly pointed reminder to people that the real world is rapidly catching up with what used to be seen as the seperate world of the internet...
Added to the recent evidence of movie studios and the RIAA starting to take a far more proactive anti-piracy stance I think a lot of people are going to have to start being a lot more careful in the future...
Shame about isonews though, I mean, whatever you thought about krazy8 (making money out the 'scene' etc blah blah) him & the rest of the isonews people did manage to keep a pretty useful & successful webby going in extremely difficult circumstances for a long time.
