| Hopefully they will rot in prison!
With any luck the scum that operates Pirate Bay will rot in prison if they don't meet an untimely fate sooner. They certainly deserve to pay for their crimes and their foolish beliefs that they are above the law. Now is the time to take these fools down for good. |

| It can't be stopped
I don't download copyrighted material, but the technologies used to share this material have many obvious advantages. when push comes to shove and it comes down to Suppressing Technology and Growth vs Protecting a Copyright, you "Always" allow technology to advance in spite of any darn Copyright
it can't be stopped, it never will be, no matter how many filters, restrictions, what not you put in place, these guys will find ways around it. Malware authors, hackers, and what not today are capable of Software Engineers. the author of Rootkit Unhooker works for Microsoft now is a example.
You will "NEVER" stop this ever, Windows vista was fully cracked with a BIOS hack weeks before it went Gold, SP1 has also allready been hacked with a new BIOS hack before SP1 has even been released mainstream. Ask Microsoft, they probably do more to stop piracy than anyone and even they can't stop it and they got more money to spend to prevent it than anyone
The days of becoming a music artist or movie star and making billions of dollars are coming to an end...they have become "obsolete" so to speak and will just simply have to take a paycut like everyone else. In the past 100 years they have walked around America like modern day "Royalty". Now Technology is relegating them back to the medieval social position of the Jester.
sorry about their luck, but i do not one bit feel sorry for the movie Stars, RIAA, MPAA, or any of the other like. They have done this to themselves with Draconian business practices. Raising the prices of CD's to unbelievable rates all in the name of greed and making more money.
As crazy as it sounds, The Piratebay will live on. If those guys go to prison, some other joe will pick the slack and take their place, it will never stop. it will just continue, but the people who run the Pirate Bay will get out of it, They are breaking "no laws" of their country. There not U.S citizens, U.S law don't apply to them, so they will get out of it again. Then they will simply move to someplace in Asia such as korea where it is ok to rip off Satelite Tv and many other things, Korea isn't gonna change their laws anytime soon, if ever
like i said, it will never stop, they are fighting a losing battle. they should negotiate with these people. If they don't, the RIAA and such will be out of business soon, you can't sue the whole world.

| yup
and a unified world government will never happen because there is only "one thing" mankind has been able to agree upon in last 6000 years...and that is "man will continue to agree to disagree"
so pretty much, that isn't gonna happen |

...
If there were a good chance of getting caught I think the numbers would shrink. The penalties are already stiff enough that a high risk of getting caught would be enough to ward off most.
Of course, that begs the question of whether a system could be made where the risk of getting caught is high. |
