Guess who’s almost back in business?
Years ago, I posted a story about the legendary Slonček, the man behind the wildly popular (but eventually scuttled) suprnova.org
It now looks like SuprNova is coming back. Although it currently contains only a blank page entitled “sweet revenge,” it’s been announced that The Pirate Bay will try to restore it to its former glory.
As for Slonček: It looks like he’s off to the U.S. for a while. And coolly enough, he’s started up his own blog, Slonček’s Personal Blog, to detail his adventures in the land of milk and money. Since his family will be reading it as well, I don’t think there will be too many juicy, borderline-illegal, triple-X details, but I’m still really looking forward to seeing it.
Good luck, Slonček!

Suprnova was one of the reasons we knew Slovenia existed, back then…
How’s it with (P2P / “private copy” right / your favourite version of RIAA) around here?
Disablez: If it’s any indication of things, people here regularly make fun of me for actually “buying” DVDs. So far I haven’t heard of anyone ever getting busted of fined for P2Ping in Slovenia. I’m not sure if there are even laws against it. I know that the occasional pirate will get busted. That’s rare but it happens.
Thanks for the nice wishes
The blog will containg everything, even what family doesnt want to hear hehe 
So ur more welcome to read it once it goes online. But it will be mostly desecribing my experience of moving there.
Btw i been a huge fan of carniola.org
gr8 job with the site.
Well it’s pretty nice here. We got some decent internets and the police isn’t that bad at all. You just want to keep your warez for yourself and not sell it, let’s say on Bolha which some people did and got fined (I think that was it)
@Michael M.: The laws do exist and they are written in such way that you can get easily busted - Slovene laws are basically RIAA’s dreams. It’s just that the state attorneys are still on hardcopy and Slovene judicary as a whole has only recently made the switch to Windows and Lotus Notes network. They’ve beed using IBM’s DisplayWrite 5 until couple of years ago
… and I’m sure you’ve got them in English and easily accessible :). I’ll keep the passport near… for if…
they actually are… I just can’t seem to find them
peng: I think this is the first time in my life I’ve heard Slovenian laws described as “strict.” Are you sure?
Sloncek: I’m flattered. I wish I could offer some help or advice about moving to California, but I spent most of my life on the opposite end of the country. Technically, this means we’re obliged to shoot at each other if we ever meet. But I think it’s more relaxed nowadays.
I’m looking forward to reading your take on America. Srečno pot.
Bonis nocet, qui malis parcit.
I’ll go hide now.
@Michael M.: Oh yes, baby! Had quite a few run-ins with the appropriate agencies and I must tell you, it wasn’t pretty. It’s not a nice feeling when you’re proving you’re clean to someone who can close your business down in a second.
When it comes to piracy i stick to my old trusty Sweden.. With the odd dop into russia..
Hmm kind of surprised like Michael M is to hear Slovenia has strict piracy laws. I don’t know many people in Slovenia who actually buy DVD’s.
@gandalf - I don’t think any of those places would touch South Korea. You name it they’ll make it. Designer suits, designer handbags, sports apparel, not to mention the usual pirated movies, and music, and games. The real crazy part is they are sold in regular brick & mortar stores. Not like in Europe where you see them selling the stuff in the streets and when the cops roll in they run. In Korea..they just don’t care. Everyone knows exactly whats going on, but they never do anything. A lot of the stores are also near U.S. military bases over there and cater to Americans too. I find it quite amusing.
