Re: Cool, but... said by en102:Don't expect it to last forever. Someone will end up taking them down eventaully How so?
If it's not hosted in the US, then US Copyright law is not enforceable abroad in most cases unless there are already specific treaties and trade agreements in place.
Look at allofmp3.com out of Russia. The ONLY way that site will fall is if Russia's desire to become a part of the WTO or EU or whatever outweighs the grey area of Russian Copyright law.
It will be ultimately up to Sweden and their versions of the MAPP & RIAA if the *.bays (Pirate & Video) will ultimately succeed or fail, not the US, but not for lack of trying on our part...  |

Someone will end up taking them down eventaully I'm sure the **IA's will attempt to bribe Swedish lawmakers with enough cash to buy a law to get PirateBay taken out. Or maybe they'll just use their stooges in our Government to pressure Sweden (Like they did with Russia over allofmp3.com). -- "Regulatory capitalism is when companies invest in lawyers, lobbyists, and politicians, instead of plant, people, and customer service." - former FCC Chairman William Kennard (A real FCC Chairman, unlike the current Corporate Spokesperson in the job!) |
