P2P and P2P Links Ruled Legal In Spain 265
Nieriko writes After three years of arduous litigation, Jesus Guerra Calderon, owner of both a small bar and the P2P link webpage 'elrincondejesus.com' has beaten the SGAE (something like the Spanish version of the RIAA). The historic ruling states not only the legality of link webpages, but also the legality of P2P file-sharing networks. Quoting the judge: 'P2P Networks as mere data transmision networks between individual internet users, do not breach any rights protected by the Intellectual Property Law.' Downloading a file (from a P2P network) for private use is perfectly legal as long as there is no lucrative or collective use of the downloaded copy."

Spain needs to be liberated from those evil pirates. And aren't they run by a socialist (read: Communist) government, anyways?
And if Obama won't do it, then he's just a weak socalist loving communist out to destroy the American way

Actually, for a racist AC troll, his comment was pretty funny.
I'm jewish (by race, not by religion) so it's OK for me to say this. ;-)

Now, you see? There's a good way to do racism and there's a bad way to do racism. You have to have more imagination! Think of something witty! Show how intelligent and thoughtful a kid in his mummy's basement, pretending to be an ignorant hick, can be!

If you're headed to Spain on a plane, prepare to get rained on. Or, so I hear.
