For those who don't know iSONEWS
www.iSONEWS.com is a nonprofit news and information site that reports alleged acts of piracy while providing the Internet public a forum to discuss matters of copyright infringement with the benefit of current information. While www.iSONEWS.com contains subject matter that relates to software piracy, the website does not directly or contributively infringe upon the copyright interests of others. The staff of iSONEWS.com does not endorse software piracy and enforces policies that prohibit such activities. Despite not being given any examples of wrongdoing, financial restraints and deadlines from Sega's attorneys forced the iSONEWS staff to yield to Sega's demands until legal counsel could be retained to represent the website's interests in a court of law. |
I think the guys of iSONEWS deserve a lot of respect, many sites would remove the information as requested.
