Re: Pirate Bay should save money for defending lawsuits
With such a well though out and rational argument I can't see why more people can't see your side.
Yes the Pirate Bay is not illegal. Eventually the **AA and other international arms of copyright holders will place enough economic pressure on Sweden, or the Ukraine, or wherever the Pirate Bay decides to try to find safe harbor, that laws will be passed and they will be shut down.
Just like a wack-a-mole game, some other torrent sharing site will pop up to take it's place...where I will continue to steal music, software, and movies, and try to justify it by telling myself record companies are evil. | |

Like your argument. It is amazing how many people hate America in America but doesn't have the kahunas to head to the beloved land of pacifism called France.
International copyright laws do exist. And, I'm sure countries other than the U.S. like to protect their music and movies as well.
I'm sure Interpol has enforcing power too.
When Putin is sick of AllofMP3.com, it'll disappear and the people running it will be off to the gulag.
Hate to say it, even if record companies put NO DRM, people would still steal anyway.
I do think downloading a DVD is stupid when the price is the same at WalMart (or even less sometimes). | |

It is amazing they don't pack up and leave.I guess there is no incentive to leave, when they can simply vote Liberal Democrats into office. The Liberal Democrats, have a play book borrowed straight from France and a page from every communist, socialist, Marxist, left wing nut job on the planet

How long and how loud, do you suppose these very same people would cry, if it was their work, music or movies were being infringed? IMO, it would be a lot louder than they cry now because of pressure being applied. I call it the, take me, show me, buy me, give me, get me I want it free, entitlement generation.

Today radiation "treatment" is in. Putin's motto is "make them glow", this way it's much easier for the KGB or Speznatz to pick them up at night.

Its the Democrats fault. In fact it is the Speaker of House Polosi fault. Everything is the Democrats fault. Everything. Just like Everything was the Republicans Fault when they were in power. | |

Newton Upper Falls, MA | Ohh man. Some silly kid post on a message board, and instantly he's a reflection of Liberal Democrats. God help us.
I like France. It's a beautiful country.
I'm sure I'll now be called a pinko by these children. | |
