Wednesday's the Pirate Bay acquisition deadline, yeah right - CNET
Summary
commentary Global Gaming Factory X, the little Swedish software company dogged by controversy, is facing another deadline to complete its acquisition of The Pirate Bay. Typically, in anticipation of a big acquisition story, Ill collect background on the companies the night before so I can have a few graphs ready when the deal is announced. That is because theres a better chance that the salmon will leap from my plate and produce a signed contract with The Pirate Bay guys than there is that Global Gaming will complete the transaction. Heres my prediction for tomorrows events: Pandeya will issue yet another press release claiming his companys acquisition of The Pirate Bay has been held up yet again. When Global Gaming, a Swedish software maker and Internet cafe operator, announced in June that it would acquire The Pirate Bay--one of the worlds most popular and controversial BitTorrent search engines--Pandeya said the deal would be completed in August.
