“In two years, this type of piracy will be over,” said Ludvig Werner, chairman for the Swedish arm of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. I say “Not bloody likely”. It’s not that piracy is right or wrong, its just simply cheap and easy. Cheap and easy will beat out right or wrong almost anyday. Now I’m not saying I condone piracy, as I of course pay for all of my movies, music, and software. Getting back to the fines and jail time, isn’t this a little steap? I mean The Pirate Bay didn’t host any actual content for download, but only a list. Because they provided a list that its users help to create, these guys being the blame, just pure nonsense. -Greg

I came across this collection of magnificent, I would like to say art, panorama and vertorama photos on Noupe.com. Some are more than the average wide panoramic, like 360 degree’s, or vertical panoramas. Most of them are multiple images shopped together. The I’ve done some of my own, but never this wonderful. So, I wanted to share them with everyone, so here ya go. -Greg

I took a couple of shots and will try to stitch them into a panorama later.”
