Re: arrrgh mateys Ah, TK misses the point again. See in Sweden, as in Canada, downloading music is not illegal, possibly unethical but not illegal. On top of that the Pirate Bay has zero content on its servers. Basically it provides links (like Google) and no real content.
Check out »thepiratebay.org/legal for some amusing links to previous (failed) hollow legal threats. |

kudos:1 | Well, the legal threats are not hollow. It is only a matter of time before these guys end up in big trouble. Their ridiculous emails in response to takedown notices will end up in the court record.
Now, I don't care for the RIAA and their approach in the US is a ludicrous abuse of the legal process, but it is their property and sooner or later folks who upload and download are going to pay for it. |

They're still making lots of money off their site. You could argue that since they are making big $$$ from their site they are profiting from piracy even if indirectly. |

Thank god people in Sweden are smarter than the average country, cause they are more capable at having independent thought. |

| I'll leave your butchering of the English language alone...but what type of degree do you think constitutes for a better argument for the legality of copyright infringement?
And by what measurement are you figuring these Swedish are smarter?I was unaware that the latest technologies were coming from Sweden! Are they all being designed from that cool knife?
And their Army....man...look out

And once I buy a hardcopy of media it becomes MY Property, the **AAs have made their money and I have my Property, under fair use I CAN DO WHAT THE FUCK I WANT WITH IT..get it yet?? Don't you neo-cons find the irony yet that the FBI was SOOO busy chasing "media pirates" that the Twin towers were attcked and fell?? I find it pathetic actually

kudos:1 | Perhaps you need to reread the "Fair Use" section of the copyright law.
As for your personal attack, you are not correct. |

What conspiracy theory? I stated FACT, your National Police Force had its collective head up its ass chasing "infringing IPs" on the interwebs while a plot was hatched and carried out to take out WTC. I didnt state who I thought did it.Its simply a matter of priorities. as in, Copyright infringment a CIVIL OFFENSE is more important than NATIONAL SAFETY.No conspiricy theories here ,,,sorry please come again. Flawed argument,either get some sleep or learn how to read.
