Save ThePirateBay.org From Closure
Dear The Internet/Anons We ask you to save The Pirate Bay, save the Internet, and stop companies controlling the Internet because they have a 'legal team.' The Pirate Bay is a search engine that indexes torrent files. Just like Google, The Pirate Bay allows users to search for files, and then find them.

Save Nu107 FM's rock music-oriented programming format!!!
There are rumors that the Progressive Broadcasting Corporation, that owns and operates DWNU FM (aka NU107) has already sold much of its shares to new personas, hence the impending change in its format from its current rock-oriented programming to mainstream pop. If this new format pushes through, listeners and fans will surely be disheartened, especially starting rock bands who aspire to make it big in the business. The death of Nu107 marks the death of the rockstar dream, especially that it

Request to add the Persian section
We believe that free, independent and investigative media are the backbone of democracy for a reason. They dig through lies, falsehoods and fronts to expose the truth, inform the public and make politicians and governments accountable. With more than 700,000 Persian blogs, mostly based in Iran, the Persian language is ranked as the second-most-popular language in the entire blogosphere. Unfortunately, Iranian journalists, bloggers and news websites administrators are under heavy censorship, pres

Stop bird slaughter in Cyprus now!
The new EU member state Cyprus has become a death trap for the birds which migrate across the Eastern Mediterranean. Countless trappers set up their nets, and above all lime sticks, in almond and olive groves, in gardens and in the macchia in order to trap migrant song birds resting on passage. The main victims of the lime sticks are warblers and thrushes; but cuckoos, owls and other protected birds are also caught. The trapped birds are destined for the pot, not infrequently in restaurants, whe
