Wth is going on in the world?
« on: May 03, 2009, 09:03:19 am »
As you might know, the four people behind the Swedish file sharing site ThePirateBay was judged this month to 30 millions SEK ( 3.73761 million U.S. dollars) and one year in prison. Now Italy is currently working on putting them in a new trial for their countrys sake to judge them to even more prison and money paying.  This is sick... They are just ordinary people creating a file sharing site. Do they deserve this? On the day of the judging, the swedish political party Piratpartiet (Pirate party) increased their members by 20000 in just some days. It is now only 600 members form being the third biggest party in sweden and their only standpoint is to preserve the personal integrity and rework the creative licence stuff so that people can file share.  Appearently, people care about this matter and don't want those people and all file sharers judged like this. Almost everyone file shares. It is almost only big compaines and such who are against it, and they have money. Unfortunately, money has more power than the people...

I support them. Those people are violating copyrights.

LITERALLY.

Edit: By them I mean the guys who are suing and by those I mean the guys who founded piratebay.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

What about google? I believe more people use google for illegal stuff than they use piratebay. Come on, lets sue google!

And also, do you seriously really think these 4 guys deserves 1 year prison and that huge amount of money to pay? No ordinary guy can even pay up one hundreth of it...

Google does it legally. So yeah... You don't use Google to violate the law. You use it to find ways to violate the law. That's like suing chemistry books for teaching you how to make chemical reactions that can cause harm.

Piratebay does it legally too. They just host torrent files.

And you didn't answer if you thought that they deserved what they got.

Last I heard anything, the swedish case was possibly going to retrial since the judge likely should have recused himself but didn't bother (he's a member of several organizations promoting stronger corporate IP rights legislation, where all the plaintiffs' lawyers are also members).

Isn't piratebay basically the most known pirate site?

Hell it's even called PIRATE bay!

THEY'RE NOT EVEN HIDING IT!

It's like the Mafia setting up a casino called "The Mafia casino" and the law system clawing against it trying to find evidence to take it to court.

I think they should be sentenced hard

the name pirate bay suggests it already: the place was deliberatly built for shady business
