  Re: F**k Metallica

  Bob Rock put the knife in Metallica. Suing Napster finished the Job.
  
  Almost all of Metallica's concerts they play older songs. They have to. All the new stuff is garbage.

  Why? It's not like you will suddenly agree with Mike anyway.

• On the post: Story Recycler: Oh Look, Google Interested In Renting Videos… Yet Again

  paywall

  Funny, I read this news on several sites. None of them were the Financial Times. That paywall must be working as intended.
  
  Rentals: DRM free, multi-platform, $1 a day for DVD quality. $1.50 to $2.00 a day for 720/1080p. Rentals should stream from the server end to my player of choice.
  
  If Google wants to lock down the rentals, a mutli platform - multi device player should be coded for this purpose. It shouldn't get in my way. Think Steam for video rentals. Except, you know, it works multi-platform.

• On the post: Iranian Government Running A Warez Server?

  passworded

  Read the torrentfreak updates. They passworded the FTP within moments of it going live on torrentfreak. There appears to be another public FTP linked, but I'm sure it will be passworded soon as well.
  
  I don't get the point of this post here on BestNetTech, however. Is it to bash Iran? Is it to show that Iran doesn't care about anyone but itself? To relate warez with malware?
  
  When I saw the TF article, I hadn't realized people still used the term warez also.
