Some recent news was that a big company was going to buy The Pirate Bay from the current owners and convert it into a legal download site . But it seems the potential buyers, Global Gaming Factory couldn’t gather enough money to buy the website, And they have been given a week by The Pirate Bay owners before the deal is off.

The plan was that Global Gaming Factory would buy the torrent site, Then utilize the computer power of some users and the cash of others, Then pay the necissary companies off to stay legal. The person that was leading this deal (Wayne Rosso) who joined two weeks ago already left the company again, He said that the companies CEO (Mr. Pandeya) wasn’t straightforward enough with him, And he also said they aren’t going to rist their reputation any further.

Rosso added, “The more time we spent with Mr. Pandeya, the less confident we were,” and that, “I don’t think there’s going to be any money raised with GGF’s current (lack of) plans.” And the people who were going to fund the project were also misinformed. TorrentFreak went to the spokesman for The Pirate Bay who said that he’s unsure what will become of The Pirate Bay if the deal is cancelled.

This is an update on: The Pirate Bay is going to be subscription based

The Pirate Bay has to make their website unavailable to people from the netherlands in 10 days.

This is what the judge decided  after BREIN sued the admins of  The Pirate Bay. For every day they don’t take action they are fined 30.00 euro’s, with a max of 3 million.

So this will probably mean it will be blocked in the Netherlands, however I’m not too sure if the folks over at TPB will actually take it down, But we’ll find out soon enough I guess.

As always, I’ll keep you posted.

Update: The Pirate Bay blocked in the Netherlands

According to Wayne Rosso The Pirate Bay Is going to let their users pay for legal download, However people can reduce the cost by sharing some of their computer’s capacity.

In an interview with CNet Wayne Rosso said that users of The Pirate Bay are going to have to pay a monthly subscription fee to legally download through the website. However this subscription fee can be lowered by sharing some of their computer’s capacity with The Pirate Bay.

The Pirate Bay can let companies rent the storage space and/or network/processor capacity shared by their users.

They are also working on improving the technology used by TPB (Bittorrent) to let ISPs use it to make the data traffic of their users more efficient.

I’ll keep everyone posted about any updates regarding this.

Update: Deal to sell The Pirate Bay unlikely to happen

I just started using NuSphere phpED because it’s better suited for working with PHP then Dreamweaver. But one problem I had was that I couldn’t find an option that would make it upload a file to the server (Through FTP/etc.) whenever I saved it.

So I asked around a little and it seems there’s a keyboard shortcut that does this (Shift+Ctrl+S), But I can imagine you want this behaviour to be default on Ctrl+S (Well I do.).

First go to Tools -> Settings

Then in the options menu go to IDE -> IDE Shortcuts

Then scroll down till you find Upload File(s)

Then change the shortcut to Ctrl+S

It will ask to cancel because there’s already a shortcut assigned to it, Just click no.

Now do the same for the shortcut File -> Save and assign it to Ctrl+Shift+S
