    petty as it may be, its absolutely bang on. If you are going to go the lengths of taking peoples freedom away to 'fight piracy' then you need to make damn sure you are squeeky clean yourself!

    I'm sure one of the first things he, or a representative, says will be something along the lines of "we contracted this out to a 3rd party in good faith".

    The 3rd party being a download link on Megaupload, am i right?
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Well, if we apply standard industry damages, he should only be owing about 400 million dollars. Chump change to someone that deep in holywoods pocket.

    Is everyone against SOPA now? Except the dodgy businesses that set it up?
