Jack in the Box is a pirate's best friend

jackinthebox.jpgMedia pirates hate spending money on stuff like music or movies, but put a fancy piece of technology in front of them that'll help them download more stuff in less time and you'll suddenly discover that these people do in fact have credit cards, and they aren't afraid to use them.

This Jack in the Box, for example, will probably get a lot of wallets out that you'd never see exposed at a Virgin Megastore. Loaded up with 1.5 TB of storage, it can handle all the BitTorrent action you can throw at it. Simply set up the torrents you're downloading through any Web browser, and it'll take care of the nitty gritty. As of right now it doesn't look like it's available in the States, as it's come out only in Japan, but over there it's running for a reasonable $333 (sans hard drives), so keep your fingers crossed for an appearance on our side of the Pacific.
