Banzai! Blurbies!

Banzai Beat forums going away
I want to thank everyone for making the forums fun. But due to spammers I just don't want to deal with it. They make hundreds of accounts and spam the living hell out of the forums.

so on that note I'm taking them offline due to very little use and I'm not watching my bandwidth bill be sucked up my spammers.

Thanks again and look forward to a new episode in the coming days.

3 Japanese Men Arrested for uploading anime

As quoted,

Kyoto Prefectural Police’s High-Tech Crime Task Force and officers from five police stations arrested three men on Thursday on charges of uploading anime episodes and images to the Winny file-sharing network.

The Japanese government is pushing a ban on unauthorized downloads as well, despite receiving thousands of messages from citizens opposing the ban.

I am lazy to post out the gist of the information, click on the source to read the full details. So what is the morale of the story ?

1. dont dl screensavers, animated pictures, slideshows.

2. winny is not as safe as what ppl assume i guess

but most imptly, the ban on unauthorized downloads better not be approved.
