Looks like ice cream, Batman, and football are the culprits.

Now I have an image of a shark at a lan party stuck in my head.
how precisely do you determine that it is not a GPL violation?
Lawyers. Lots of Lawyers.
I doubt it even cracks their top 20 complicated legal issues.
the GPL, a widely used (including by the Linux kernel) free software license
Woa, woa, woa. Next you'll tell me it wasn't created by Linux Torvalds.
Pretty much, not sure why this is a story. There's a little to be said for increasing muscle mass, and that's about all.
“It all comes down to energy balance,” or, as you might have guessed, calories in and calories out. People “are only burning 200 or 300 calories” in a typical 30-minute exercise session, Melanson points out. “You replace that with one bottle of Gatorade.”
In other news, water is wet and the sun is bright.
Exactly right, this is a capitalist society, ran on making money. If they won't integrate safety systems to protect the system properly from hacker attacks, hit them in the wallet, hard.
This is the fundamental point. Those with the ability to secure the system need to be the ones paying for breeches. Bruce Schneier had several good articles around this point. The main example being banks/credit card companies paying for fraud. If they could just push that onto the customer, there would be far more instances of fraud. Instead, they take responsibility for the whole system and customers are far better off for it.
Multi-world interpretation is correct and LHC is just a variant of quantum-suicide experiment.
That's what the birds want us to think. The truth is, they planned this, and there's more to come. We cannot allow even one more baguette to fall on the LHC. We must strike back.
That's right. I'm calling KFC.
Mature games == games for teenagers. Rather than games that an adult might enjoy.
I completely agree. As an adult I'd never play play a fps. I'd definitely not equip incendiary weapons and light my enemies on fire. I'd also not employ electrical weapons to shock them to death. Using the corrosive shotgun to disintegrate people is right out. I find absolutely no joy in any of this. Especially explosives, who needs them when you can play wii bowling.
The new spin is that they have been convicted of being an accessory to copyright infringement but there is no specific instance of copyright infringement having been associated with the charge.
They most likely provided substantial examples of infringing works that just weren't contested. TPB's stance seemed to be "we're not hosting the content" not that it wasn't being indexed.
I'd be more concerned with what exactly being an accessory to copyright infringement means. Link to a blog that contains an unlicensed song in a parody video? Investing in Xerox?
I believe you're talking about Switzerland.
Sweden had a similar policy.
That's not the point of enforcing the law. You don't leave thieves, embezzlers or whatever alone because there's a lot more of them out there. You catch the ones you can.
And more specific to these cases, the industry isn't concerned with ending all copyright infringement, they're concerned with it becoming (more) mainstream. Remove some of the major trackers/sources, a few high publicity lawsuit campaigns, and then "why don't you just download it" becomes "why not just buy it".
In April, Fredrik Neij , Gottfrid Svartholm Warg , Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström were found guilty of being accessories to crimes against copyright law
Poor copyright law, he didn't get out of the hospital for 2 weeks. I don't think he'll ever be the same.
I can replace my racks with a three-ring binder!
It would seem viable until you realize that $99 printer has $4999.99 cartridges and the first one only comes 1% full.
