[url="http://torrentfreak.com/images/bieberbox.jpg"][img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/bieberbox.jpg[/img][/url]Singer Justin Bieber is rarely away from controversy. If he’s not [url="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2328668/Jon-Bon-Jovi-scolds-Justin-Bieber-disrespecting-fans-turning-late.html"]turning up late[/url] to a concert in London and then insulting the UK, he’s [url="http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/14/showbiz/bieber-anne-frank"]publicly hoping[/url] that Anne Frank would have been one of his fans.

Of course, the guy’s young and probably under a lot of pressure, a potent mix, but he should probably pause before he opens his mouth – especially if that mouth is connected to Twitter.

At the time of writing Bieber has an incredible 41.5 million followers, so anything he says is immediately distributed to an audience greater than the entire population of his native Canada. This weekend he managed to put his foot in his mouth yet again.

Bieber’s father Jeremy is a former fighter and in 2011 they were seen together at a UFC event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. That was a good show, but nowhere near as dramatic as this weekend’s event at the same location. Legendary undefeated middleweight champion Anderson Silva decided to clown around in the Octagon and got knocked out for his troubles.

It was a truly unbelievable moment which left those watching in disbelief. However, Bieber wasn’t one of them, which soon become apparent when he took to Twitter after the event had finished. In his infinite wisdom, Bieber took to the micro-blogging service to bag himself a pirate copy.

With near 50,000 retweets it was always likely that the UFC brass would discover that Bieber had incited his fans to commit copyright infringement. It didn’t take long for outspoken UFC boss Dana White to weigh in.

White retweeted Bieber’s request along with some advice. “PPV Justin,” White wrote.

“Oh shit! Dana pissed you trying to bootleg the fight!!! Now the Beliebers vs the UFC fans is on like Donkey Kong!” [url="https://twitter.com/DCFanaticsBlog/status/353778582025289728"]wrote[/url] one excited UFC fan.

“Millionaire can’t even spend $60 on PPV, plus you’re a bitch Bieber. Me and you in the Octagon. Make it happen Dana!” [url="https://twitter.com/AnthonyStorz/status/353778276445061120"]exclaimed[/url] another.

By the time Bieber had asked for a pirate copy the event was already over so live PPV wasn’t really an option. Bieber could, however, have jumped over to the UFC site for a replay or failing that, paid a few dollars for access to [url="http://www.ufc.tv/archives"]the archives[/url].

But perhaps grabbing a copy from The Pirate Bay is just way easier?

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
