The new anti-piracy law is now effective in Sweden

Sweden, home of The Pirate Bay is introducing a new law that will make it easier to go after individuals who share copyrighted files on filesharing networks. The Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED) law will enable copyright holders to get their hands on the personal details of suspected illicit file-sharers. The entertainment industry will now have more effective tools to track down illegaly downloaded material.

If several European neighbours already have such a directive, Sweden has had terrible problems with piracy and no effective law. From now on, copyright holders can get a court order requesting ISPs to provide IP adresses associated with computers which have downloaded copyrighted material without paying for it. From the 1st of April, the authorities will start get proofs that files were illegaly downloaded since everything downloaded before that date is not usable.

Nabaztag…. what did you say?

I just got my very first Nabaztag which I called Violette!

Nabaztag is a new kind of technological object with a magical presence. Nabaztag comes alive and begins talking and moving his ears. It is a wonderful interface that has no limits. Many blogs and websites are dedicated to the French rabbit all over the world.

He tells you that the important e-mail you were expecting has just arrived, he reads out news or perhaps it is just enjoying a few relaxing Tai Chi exercises. Nabaztag is a useful and playful companion. It connects to the Internet through a broadband connection and Wi-Fi Access Point. You can program it with API or make it read books, it plays Podcasts and Internet radio, sings, and dances on messages and e-mails sent by friends or chats with other Rabbit owners.

Once you start playing with it, you realize that it doesn’t have any limits!

Nabaztag…. vous avez dit quoi?

Je viens juste de recevoir mon tout premier Nabaztag que j’ai appelé Violette !
Nabaztag est issu d’une nouvelle technologie et semble être présent près de vous. Nabaztag parle et bouge ses oreilles. C’est une interface sans aucune limite. Il existe de nombreux blogs et sites Internet dédiés au lapin français dans le monde entier. Il vous indique dès lors que l’important e-mail que vous attendiez est arrivé, il lit les infos ou il fait du tai-chi.
Nabaztag est donc un compagnon pratique et joueur. Il se connecte à Internet via la connection sans-fil. Vous pouvez le programmer avec l’API ou lui faire lire des livres, il diffuse la radio ou des Podcasts, chante et danse sur des messages de vos amis envoyés par email ou peut chatter avec d’autres personnes possédant un lapin. Une fois que vous commencerez à vous amuser, vous verrez qu’il n’a vraiment pas de limites !
