NEWS AND UPDATES
» May 3rd, 2008 - Strider and Fairlight in the spotlight
Strider and Fairlight are getting some heat in the US because of his past as a cracker and his job today for the Republican party. It apparently started like this (which of course is no suprise when getting involved in politricks): "An e-mail sent anonymously this week to a conservative listserv operator in San Diego County revealed an attached document titled The Secret Life of Tony Krvaric. The attachment alleged that Krvaric, using the alias Strider, founded Fairlight 'to illegally crack and distribute copyrighted software.' Fairlight evolved from 'an adolescent obsession into a full fledged multinational criminal enterprise,' the e-mail claimed."
Read the two articles here and here. And Strider, we support you!
» April 26th, 2008 - Drakir of Noice interviewed
Morpheus gives you an interview with Drakir of Damage and Noice. Here's a fun excerpt: "I especially remember a copy-party in Gothenburg – my first actually. It was in a school, can't really remember were. There was a group called Censor Design where most of the members were nazis or just disorderly. They really scared the shit out of us by walking around with a baseball bat threatening everyone. Right after the demo competition, we ran back to our place with those guys in our tail. We ran straight in to a invisible tear gas bomb they just dropped! We couldn't see for quite a while, and instantly we lost our breath."

» March 26th, 2008 - Paul 'DOKK' Docherty gallery online
If you don't know the name Paul 'DOKK' Docherty, you can't possible have owned a C64.
