Google recently releasing their own web browser has got me thinking as to which browser is better, so I thought i would ask the question here and see what response i get.

What Web Browser do you think is the best and what are your reasons for your choice?

I thought this could be an interesting one and look forward to hearing peoples responses.

I use Firefox 3 and I use it because i can customise it to suit my needs and i find it more secure and far superior to Internet Explorer.

So I have started this one off and lets see where it goes!!!

Three Strikes and you are out

Below is post i read on another site(atomicbytes) and wondered what anyone else thought, personally i think it is going to be bad for torrents in general.

I mean What If?,and at the moment it is a what if?, other countries decide to follow Frances example and police the internet in this manner.

It also raise the question: What other internet activity will be monitored?

It is completely within in the realms of possibility that everything we do on the internet will be monitored and policed.

Anyway below is the post, Let me know what you think:

"Over the past few months, many countries have looked into the possibility of disconnecting file-sharers from the Internet. Today, France is the first to present their new “3-strikes” law, which allows anti-piracy outfits such as IFPI, RIAA and MPAA to police the Internet.

A few weeks after the University of Washington showed that “copyright infringement warnings&rd......

What is that all about, it is infuriating to say the least!

This was brought to my attention with my efforts to download "The Incredible HULK"

Looking through the many torrent sites and downloading many, many "different" versions of this film, i discover they are in fact all the same cam version (You know the one, chinese subtitles,wonky camerawork,big-head in the bottom right corner).

Well what is my point you may ask.....

If all torrents were indeed "original" we would only see a few torrents, all of which i might add would be different recordings and not the same copy repackaged dozens of times over!! 

This would help us all as there would naturally be more seeders, quicker downloads,etc. you know the score.

This is again something that is in our power to change, we just have to want too!

ALSO, while im at it, lets get rid of this poxy DOM-Player bullshit that is plaguing our downloads..remember if you come across one please let the rest......

If we all seed a film for a week after downloading and report on all fakes, we as a collective can filter out the fakes and ensure free films for all........

Afterall thats what we are all on this site for!!!
