RIAA going from bad to worse
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Comcast, Other News
The RIAA has announced that they will no longer be suing people who illegally download music from the internet. Good news? Not really because they will be working with ISPs to disconnect offending users. No doubt that Comcast will be one of those ISPs as Comcast is clearly opposed to NN as well as internet piracy.

The makers of one of the best bittorrent clients has released a long awated OS X version of the client.
After screwing around with it, it appears to be a fairly solid BT client but is strangely reminiscent of Transmission although is a lot nicer looking.
