    Court of Appeal Says ‘No’ Thrice To The Pirate Bay

    I gotta say, I'm a little surprised... Considering the implication that the judge may have been bias.... I'm not saying the decision was wrong... But if what was reported was true, then the judge clearly has a conflict of interest and that should be case for a retrial...

    Take-Two Settles GTA 'Hot Coffee' Suit for $20M
