Now with multi-country redundant servers
(old news - 09:13AM Monday Jun 05 2006)
Torrent tracker site the PirateBay is now back up and operational after being taken off-line by Swedish Police. Writes Wrath457: "Looking at the main site now there's a quip about hollywood and they renamed the site in the title bar to "The Police Bay". They now also have contingencey servers located in multiple countries now incase such an event happens again."

Re: Got smart

You people are joking right? I mean most of us have done at least some form of p2p at some time or another. It's easy, and it's free. But, if you don't see the fact that what you're doing is wrong, then you've crossed the line into the criminal mindset. You're stealing stuff, stuff that hardworking people put effort into. Whether or not you agree with the business practices the companies that produce the stuff partake in is irrelevant. It doesn't give you the "right" to do anything. And while the lines defining what is and isn't legal are very blurred due to the fast paced world of technology and the slow moving beast that is the legislatures of various countries, a person's unwillingness to accept the fact that what they are doing is wrong is abhorrent. I know that when I download a song that it's wrong, as well as a movie, or a computer game. I still try to buy all of the aforementioned things as well. I don't really care if all of you like to torrent everything in the entire world, and fill terabytes of hard drive space full of it, but if you aren't even willing to accept the fact that what you're doing is wrong, then we've got a whole different problem.

I refuse to buy something I cannot use the same way as I did before. I used to go, buy a CD, but when I ditched oversized CD player, I moved all of it to computer via LAME's MP3. So does it make me a criminal, because according to DRM I SHOULDN'T do that. We can keep on arguing.
I started using bittorrent to download live sets and video clips. The stuff you watch for free on TV or hear on the radio. How is that different from TiVo?

I distribute media that I own via torrents. It's a very efficient method of doing so. Am I and the people that participate in those torrents "wrong"?

I guess I know its wrong, but I also believe the way the MPAA and RIAA operate is wrong. It's not like you'd steal bread from a poor old lady, but downloading a movie/tv show/album from people that are way the hell richer then I am, really hasn't ever ranked in my ethics rankings a top infraction.

to me its nothing more then a misdemanour. Its not like alot of people don't buy cd's/dvds, I have a pretty big collection of store bought stuff, but you can only afford so much.

You see how much these fuckers are making, the RIAA and MPAA being the middlemen, and it makes you want to gag.

That being said, its not illegal everywhere. Its not illegal to share albums in Canada, and its rather ambigous whether or not the same law protects films. Ever noticed theres never any lawsuits here in Canada? Our copyright laws are so friggin old, they don't cover most modern technology, and the music sharing on p2p case that makes it legal, equates p2p as the same thing as a photocopier in a library.

we also have a levy on all blank media (well audio media, like cd's, audio tapes), which is supposed to go the artists.

So just because somethings illegal in the USA, doesn't make the rest of the world hethens.

Not every country is run by corportations, stop believing the propaganda.

It's propaganda to kill sharing to limit our freedom.
This is evil.
who has to gain? the few that wants everyone to fear them
who losses? the majority, the sheep who are poor, clueless and being fleeced like a monkey, no clue whatever lol how it is all rigged in front of their nose to benefit the private investor.
I only know a few amendment that's enough to stick them up the horse butt
1. free speech
2. right to bear arms
3. no illegal search and seizure
There's a lot more of our rights that is in danger of being infringed that most Americans need to learn this very important basic fundamental principle otherwise their
royally screwed up the their ass for not knowing it.

where is our rights to privacy?
where is our rights to say fu*koff?
we don't need anyone to stick their nose into someones private business.

Do most even care what the bill of rights say anymore? Have we all forgotten? Bad memory? Too much television?

Re: Got smart

maybe you should car a bit more about what the bill of rights says. The first amendment concerns only the government restricting speech - there is no right to free speech in civil matters.

What in the world does the right to bear arms have to do with it?

The search was made under the privileges granted by a warrant - just like the (U.S.) constitution provides.

Someone who provides an index to facilitate downloading someone else's copyrighted material is aiding and abetting a civil or criminal wrong.

To put it in simple terms - Pirate Bay has no right to do what they are doing, they got busted, and they will be shut down again, lawfully.

Smart-eh

Re: Got smart

So you are saying www.google.com, and you search for warez.

Then you are saying google should be busted because it shows you the link?

Re: Got smart

No, that is nothing like a valid comparison.

Pirate Bay exists to offer access to sources that violate international copyright laws.

There is a difference between Sears selling a pair of pliers that can be used, among other things, to pry open a lock, and a maker of burglary tools.

Burglary tools are pliers, screwdrivers, pry-bars, and etcetera.

Absolute nonsense. By using that logic sharing information is the problem. Okay, then that means I can sue the MPAA out of existence for making films that do THE EXACT SAME DAMN THING. Hey, Gone in 60 Seconds goes into great detail about exactly how to steal a car, so when my car got stolen, that was Hollywood's fault and they owe me a new one.

Hey! That's a great idea! Anyone want to put together a class-action lawsuit?

if we used your logic then it could be assumed that car dealerships aid and abet hit & run drivers, DUI's, speeding tickets, vehicular manslaughter, assualt with a deadly weapon, narcotics trafficing, etc. etc. because they sell cars to the general public that then misuses them through intentional or accidental means... therefore posting bittorrent links for people to use or misuse is aiding and abetting a crime...? really...?

They actually dont. The US imposed their laws on another country. It is really a big scandal over there.

Before that happened however, the article states the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of Amercia) requested that the United States Department of Justice (US DOJ) take action against ThePirateBay.org.

During a visit to the United States in April, the Swedish Minister of Justice Thomas Bodström was pressured by unspecified elements of the US government to eliminate ThePirateBay.org. Six weeks later, ThePirateBay.org was taken off line in a controversial raid that also claimed 200-300 other domains.

In case you are not aware. The US should not have the right to force their laws on the whole world.

The US isn't forcing our laws on another country. We are forcing other countries to live up to agreements they signed when they became part of the World Trade Organization(WTO). Those rules require all signatories to honor agreements on Intellectual Property Rights(IP). It is now a WORLD ECONOMY. And if the countries don't want to honor the rules of the WTO, they shouldn't have signed the agreements.

Not very wise to declare war on your own consumers, eh? All is fair in love and war.

"Two more single mothers are refusing to be victimized by the RIAA. Patricia Santagelo was one of the first to stand up and fight the lawsuits, which some say resemble protection racket schemes. Now Dawnell Leadbetter of Seattle and Tanya Andersen of Oregon have decided to follow suit and stand up against the recording industry behemoth. From the article: 'Don't let your fear of these massive companies allow you to deny your belief in your own innocence. Paying these settlements is an admission of guilt. If you're not guilty of violating the law, don't pay.'"

Ok, it all depends on you point of view. See many of us believe that file trading shouldn't be illegal, and in fact isn't illegal.

Piracy involves an exchange of Money in my point of view. File trading has no such exchange and is therefore not , and therefore should not be, illegal.

That approach is not only ineffective, but it also backfired severely.

TPB now has tons of free publicity and sympathy, all thanks to the Swedish police and whatever industry lobbying group(s) which pressed for the raid. I am willing to bet TPB now has 100x more users than it had before and that the recording/movie industry is now "losing" 100x more than it was before the raid.

Based on what I have read, TPB wasn't doing anything illegal in Sweden and that while the raid was lawfully executed, the justifications behind the raid may not have been legal. If this is indeed true, then it will only galvanize the people of Sweden to oppose more of these sorts of actions. As Sweden is a democracy, I suspect that the end result might be a government that is less interested in respecting copyrights.

What should have happened is that the industry lobbying groups should have tried to make a sincere, respectful effort to change public opinion in Sweden about the respect of copyrights.

This comment is in no way a dig on the people of Sweden, but there are people who don't see how sharing copyrighted work is a bad thing when compared to things like murder or other real crimes. As long as that mindset exists, then any sort of heavy-handed tactics that go against this mindset will be met with the sort of response that we saw with the actions against TPB.

All that happened.

All that's happened is a few swedish sites now lost hosting revenue. Boo Hoo! The site is still up, back and will be MORE popular. Perhaps with a focus on MORE of the content that these two POS industry losers try to protect and line the pockets of lawyers. If you think they are actually protecting the artsist's revenue, you are deluding yourself thinking as bad as the gas station owners who make 1-2% of the revenue from gas, and the OIL companies profit well over 300% on their investments with NO CHECK on the amount of profits in the future.

I am God, I am angry at what they have done to people who are too nice and easily brainwashed by their pissy attitude.

They have a religion it's Satanism, they worthship destruction, pain and suffering for all

run, but not hide?

My thought is that if I can watch, listen, or purchase something, I will buy it. However.... if it's something old and interesting that is not commercially available, is downloading it really "stealing"?

Not stealing, more like counterfeiting. You've made a copy, not taken an original. Different crime entirely.

also depends on what country your in, sharing music and videos isn't actually illegal everywhere. Not every country has a DMCA, and not every country thinks DMCA type punishments suit the offence.

The video P2P'ing here in Canada is rather ambigous, because no law supports or denies it, so its pretty much ignored. HOWEVER for trading music on p2p, its legal here, under a court resolution, that stated sharing music via p2p was no worse then having a photocopier in the libary, people are free to make personal copies. (not even backups, just copies for themselves).

its funny how people think American law is end all of all law in the world. Not all countries have the same beliefs, and thats how places like the pirate bay will survive.

The internet is global, and as long as there are countries that leave this kind of thing legal, theres not much the US can do (thank god).

Hmm.

Why shouldn't the common people like us get to have some fun?

Look at all the fun the current White House administration and President and corporate America have with our money and rights? The big guys always screw the little people and get away with it.

This is a minor form of payback on our part and the only way any of us will ever get back at the system.

bring it to a vote

Lets bring this up to a vote and settle the matter the right way. People should not be harassed into submission. I think all the MPAA and RIAA should be brought up on criminal charges do to the sniffing, hacking and maliciously poisoning the sites with fake torrents for all the websites out there that they attacked . Some of these are private sites and require a login and password. These private sites and their traffic should not be monitored because they are PRIVATE.

I also consider torrent sharing a way to find software music and movies that you never would have watched or used.
and would consider to purchase them after the fact.

back up eh?

No hits due to politics

Yeah the domain point to an interactive page. but there doesn't seem to be a tracker or search function.

so I would say that as of yet they are still in submission and not "winning"

but I cant wait for that to change

Re: they are going down

actually hollywood isn't as big as it use to be. Its just a name now and nothing more, with most movie producers going to cheaper studio loactions abroad. In fact, the gaming industry is bigger then hollywood (but I'm not sure if its bigger then the music industry).
