Brando’s Slick SATA HDD Multi-Media Adapter

Brando SATA HDD multi-media adapterIn the world of SATA adapters, few are as slick (in both product and price) as Brando’s SATA HDD Multi Media Player Adapter. More than just a dock, Brando’s product allows you to stream 1080i straight to your TV.

The unit connects to a computer via USB, allowing you to dump files straight to the HDD of your choice. There are also adapters for an SD card or flash drive, with the same streaming capability. You also don’t have to have Brando’s new toy connected to a computer to allow playback, which is ideal for folks who haven’t quite made the jump to a media center at their TV.

If you’ve got a big digital video collection, or just like to share photos with friends and family, Brando’s $69 price tag is a sure fit for your budget.

Major Crackdown on Swedish File-sharing Server

Big news coming out of Sweden this weekend:
Arrest

Police have made a major crackdown on illegal file-sharing by seizing a giant computer server during an apartment raid in a Stockholm suburb, an official said Saturday.

Henrik Ponten, a spokesman at the Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau, said the server contained about 65 terabytes of files, corresponding to around 16,000 full-length movies.

“The size of the works are gigantic,” he said, noting it was one of the biggest pirate server confiscations ever in Sweden.
It has been my understanding that Sweden has been pretty lenient towards file-sharing in the past. Sounds like those days are over.

The curious thing is if and how much this will affect sites like ThePirateBay.org and IsoHunt.com. In theory, it shouldn’t affect them at all. But I guess we’ll know for sure in the next few weeks.
