Michael Jackson to Sue File Swapping Site - The Pirate Bay
Artist Michael Jackson is throwing his name into the hat of a group of fading artists suing The Pirate Bay, the largest BitTorrent tracker Web sites.
In what appears to be a coalition of gimmicky, yet successful, artists from prior decades, Jackson is teaming up with Prince, the Village People, UB40 and Bob Marley's rights holders to be compensated for losses from individuals who used The Pirate Bay site to help them to illegally downloading music. ABBA is being recruited into the group, as well.
90s-Music Legends Hire "Sheriff" to Fight Piracy
Jackson and the others have sought help from the Web Sheriff, a superhero that fights for rights online. The Web Sheriff goes by the real name of John Giacobbi and will be suing The Pirate Bay for $100 million on behalf of the artists. Don't believe me about this superhero persona? Check out the Web Sheriff's Web site and see for yourself.
The arch-nemesis in this battle, The Pirate Bay, has responded with an evil and maniacal laughter taunting members of the superhero group and laughing at the Web Sheriff's attempts to shut down the BitTorrent tracker site.
"The common thing for all of these artists are of course that noone listens to them anymore," posted The Pirate Bay in response to Websheriss's suit.
Stay tuned next week, folks, when the Web Sheriff and his team of artists from years past continues to fight The Pirate Bay.

The Wii Fit in English version is it playable in Japanese Wii system?
*Laughs* And what, precisely, does Wii Fit have to do with musical artists suing The Pirate Bay? Nothing. Absolutely. Nothing. (By the way, however, the answer to your question is no, the [I assume you mean] American version of ANY Wii game is not playable in the Japanese console, unless maybe you can have it chipped/modded, which will void your warranty. The choice is yours. Best for you to get the Japanese version of the game, or if you plan on playing more American Wii games, an American Wii.)
I really hope someone makes a movie our of this. With real pirates and the artists would be old cowboys screaming "gimme mah money!"
