Re: Pirates Ahoy!!!

I think it's like paving the way ... once this goes down, other lawyers can cite this as a case to supplement their prosecution of other sites, etc etc ...

Re: Pirates Ahoy!!!

Yeah i suppose. Dont know about easily though, its been going on for a while now.

Re: Pirates Ahoy!!!

Because it's a symbol, and this sets a precedent by which other sites can be (easily) taken down? You can be sure if they manage to shut down Pirate Bay, none of the smaller sites will escape. And the lawyer letters they love sending out will have a lot more weight to them.

Re: Pirates Ahoy!!!

Hardly seems worth all this time and effort to close down one site when there is so many others providing the same aswell.

Re: Pirates Ahoy!!!

Thought this was hilarious, here's a big FUCK YOU.

- A server was down and I restarted it, Neij tells expressen.se. He is one of the four founders of The Pirate Bay that stand accused of “complicity to making copyrighted material accessible” (yes, that’s the charge). That didn’t stop him from taking care of a server mishap in the middle of the trial’s closing argument. Thepiratebay.org was down during the best part of Monday, which had a good deal of file-sharing folks worried that the website might be down for good this time. Thankfully for them, he had his trusty laptop at hand and could restart the server remotely, so that eager fileswappers could get back inside.
-We have Internet access [in the court room] so it was no problem, Neij told Expressen today (Tuesday);
-Besides, I’m keeping up with the coverage of the trial.
The farcical battle between a sadly incompetent prosecution vs. knowledgeable and sometimes loud-mouthed defendants is almost at an end, and the fact that Neij manages thepiratebay.org’s servers remotely during the trial is just one of several examples that point out the huge gap in technical know-how that the sides have exhibited.

Re: Pirates Ahoy!!!

good advertising for those guys, they think pirate bay is popular and notorius now? wait till after the law suit and they get away scot free...

I swell with pride every time im wearing my pirate bay hoodie - these guys are my heros

why? not because of the law breaking, but because they deserve us to respect their project - alot of brilliant minds have worked on that site, and its been an interesting ride.

Re: Pirates Ahoy!!!

Ah those crazy Swede's...I honestly admire their dedication to the cause. An average person would have stopped doing what they are doing like 4 years ago but not these guys they are fighting the law and we will see who will win.
