  Subject: The Talk2 List Warner Brothers Inc. acquires The Pirate Bay


  acquire The Pirate Bay, the consumer media company for

  people to share original copies through a Web experience, for $13.37 billion 
in a stock-for-stock transaction. Following

  the acquisition, The Pirate Bay will operate independently to preserve its 
successful brand and passionate community.

  The acquisition combines one of the largest and fastest growing online 
entertainment communities with Warner Bros's

  expertise in organizing information and creating new models for advertising 
on the Internet. The combined companies

  will focus on providing a better, more comprehensive experience for users 
interested in downloading, watching and

  sharing content, and will offer new opportunities for professional content 
owners to distribute their work to reach a

  vast new audience.

  "The The Pirate Bay team has built an exciting and powerful media platform 
that complements Warner Bros's mission

  to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and 
useful," said Jim Kjeyzer, Chief Executive

  Officer of Warner Bros. "Our companies share similar values; we both always 
put our users first and are committed to

  innovating to improve their experience. Together, we are natural partners to 
offer a compelling media entertainment

  service to users, content owners and advertisers."

  "Our community has played a vital role in changing the way that people 
consume media, creating a new hip culture.

  By joining forces with Warner Bros, we can benefit from its global reach and 
technology leadership to deliver a more

  comprehensive entertainment experience for our users and to create new 
opportunities for our partners," said Anakata,

  CEO and Co-Founder of The Pirate Bay. "I'm confident that with this 
partnership we'll have the flexibility and resources

  needed to pursue our goal of building the next-generation platform for 
serving media worldwide."

  When the acquisition is complete, The Pirate Bay will retain its distinct 
brand identity, strengthening and complementing

  Warner Bros's own fast-growing video business. The Pirate Bay will continue 
to be based in Stockholm, Sweden,

  and all The Pirate Bay employees will remain with the company. With Warner 
Bros's technology, advertiser relationships

  and global reach, The Pirate Bay will continue to build on its success as one 
of the world's most popular services

  for online entertainment.

  The number of Warner Bros shares to be issued in the transaction will be 
determined based on the 30-day average closing

  price two trading days prior to the completion of the acquisition. Both 
companies have approved the transaction,

  which is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in 
the third quarter of 2009.

  The company will host a conference and webcast at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time 
(4:30 p.m. Eastern Time) tomorrow to

  discuss the acquisition. To access the conference, please email 
scott.r...@warnerbros.com A replay of the will be

The Talk2 List Today on Venison Stew

2009-03-31 Thread Venison88a
Since i'm actually up early, what the hell, a little advertising. Today on the 
show? Who knows? When do i ever know? All i can say is alcohol will be 
involved. The iced tea mixer is brewing as we type. And because of that, there 
could be a rant involved. On what, i dont know yet, but i'm sure it'll seep out 
of a back or side door somewhere where its least expected and surprise even me. 
So sit back, take a load off, and tune in to the fracus. Today at 4pm eastern 
here on TBRN.   http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg

It is now possible, and this will be the new official link, to use
listen.tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg
for the streaming box, sinse the website is on one machine, the phone 
service on another, and the streams on yet another.
This will be listed on the website, as mine was merely a fallback to the old

  April 4 will mark my third anniversary on The Beyond Radio Network. 
Since

I will be out of town this weekend and unable to do a show during my usual
slot next week, I've opted to commemorate this special occasion tonight
instead.  This won't be a broadcast designed for the purpose of patting
myself on the back.  Instead it will be a trip down memory lane, complete
with clips from the more notorious shows of the past, an excerpt of the
staff meeting on March 5, 2006, that eventually led to my joining the
network, and a Steve and Karen, who will no doubt be around to help ensure
that the broadcast is as random as possible.  Finally the last hour of the
show will be devoted exclusively to an audio collage, featuring every 
single

stupid intro I have ever used dating back to the Johntage.  This most
certainly will not be a show to miss.  So bring your computer or PDA, a
beverage of your choosing, and tune in tonight at 6PM EDT at
http://tbrn.andrelouis.com:/tbrn.ogg.m3u for four hours full of good
times and rich creamery butter
