CBS to Pirate Bay: 'You're ok by us'
Last.fm, the music recommendation site owned by US media conglomerate CBS, has today given Pirate Bay the thumbs up to use its servers to add radio streams to BitTorrent searches.

Warner sits on the board of the Motion Picture Ass. of America, which has alleged that the operators of the Pirate Bay are profiteering criminals.

... dunno, mafia ...., cartell, hmm. Doesnt sound right. And even having enjoyed an old Sid Meier game staged in the 16th and 17th in CGA graphics back then i cant find an appropriate word.

I've got it - Colonists! Although we call them Americans now and they might get upset if you go around refering to them as profiteering criminals.
You were thinking of Sid Meier's Colonization, right?

lol - I dunno, seems pretty fitting for most US business's.
btw - I hate seeing z's in there... I remember laughing with 4 other people for hours at how stupid a cop was on "Cops", he kept saying "So sir, have you been burglarized?".... only to find out a month later that it's an actual work in the american language. I think thats criminal... what was wrong with the word burgled that they had to butcher the language so?? :(

Actually 'z' is the prefered letter according to the OED. It ws even used to solve an Inspector Morse case where the murdered English prof would never have used an 's' because they would know to use 'z' so you can't get much more British than that! It only became the fashion to use 's' in the latter half of the 20th century. So you can't really blame the Americans for that.
