Pirate Bay Founders Stare At Jailtime as Supreme Court Rejects Appeal

[JrRacinFan]

What law's are TPB breaking exactly? What about these companies who create DVD and Blu Ray burners? They can be taken to court for intent to infringe upon copywritten material.

 

[Jarman]

I don't hate America. I hate the way they feel they need to police the world. If someone holds a gun to my head and tells me to do something, is it really my fault for doing it?

Whose government is it prosecuting the owners of megaupload again, and trying to force SOPA/PIPA down the throats of the rest of the world?

 

[NdMk2o1o]

Not just the US Government. Your own government has to LET them first. So ether your government is a bunch of pussys OR they are working with the US Government. Take your pick. Blame is equal on both ends.

They think they are, regardless of said government agrees to comply that doesn't mean they're equally to blame, it's instigated by the US and their bully tactics and also acting like they can police the world. They need to start at home if you ask me but hey whatever.

I agree they have evaded for years because they dont actually "host" the files. with that said they have evaded arrest for years. the fact that they have been tried and convicted when they were found innocent before screams creative justice to me.

Just file chapter 11(or w/e it is in sweden)

Bankrupt people dont pay anyone for any thing. Just make sure you move remaining assest out of comany and push them through a few numbered companies to fog their origin.

The Big Media interests need to learn how they lose no matter who they attack.

What happens to the $6.8 million dollars, that's what I'd like to know, its gonna be spent on coke and high class hookers by the music industry execs imo.

 

[Horrux]

I dunno man, I've used TPB for when my dog crunched up my 6-disc Special Edition Baldur's Gate and other stuff that I lost or otherwise destroyed, to get my files.

That's perfectly legal.

It's the users who choose to download things that they don't legally have a right to possess who infringe the law, not those who make a catalog of those who have the files up for sharing.

But of course things got all twisted out of shape and the poor guys have to go to jail and pay huge fines because of that. Goddamn lawmakers.

I don't hate americans or the US personally. It's true, the RIAA and MPAA, who are mostly US based, are behind all the pressure to put these guys in jail. But that could not happen without POLITICIANS. And all because it's almost impossible to go after the end users, so hey, let's ruin these guys' lives.

DAMN ALL POLITICIANS. I SAY BURN THEM ALL. AT THE STAKE.

Sounds like you are making excuses for your apathy in your own government. Not Americas fault. Its yours. You let America bully you so you are pussys OR your government is just as guilty. There is no in between.

I dunno why people dodge their own responsibility so much. You can't go through your whole life blaming the next man. Sometimes you have to put on your big boy pants and take responsibility. Next thing you know people wont take care of thier children because the condom broke and expect the trojan company to raise thier children.

No it's not. At least not in Sweden as I understand it. And TPB are about torrents that means you share data as well as download, so I really have no problem with people having problems with it.

 

[Yellow&Nerdy?]

Why don't these guys just join Kopimism and claim this is religious purge. That would make the prosecution process a lot more difficult.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I don't use torrents and never have, its the "sharing" part I don't like or agree with. If I do need to replace a legit owned disc I prefer direct downloads.

Holywood was founded on piracy. I really feel nothing for an industry that moved away from New York to adapt to IP law now failing to move itself to adapt to the internet.

I wish Vietnam had something worth pirating.

I'm not Vietnamese. I just live here.

I was just going by your location.

No insult. People just tend to pirate Hollywood films or things from America then complain when they get busted. I always thought if their own nation produced something as pirated as Hollywood movies they might change their tune.

No insult. Just would like to see people wear the other shoe once in a while.

probably was.

Want some gas with that flame?!

You, Sir Sound like a brainwashed idiot who feels he is vastly smarter to all else.
I find your posts to be childish and blindedly pro-american, at any cost.

I hope you find peace in the belittling of others, just like every other a$$hole who thinks america is still great.

I just fire torpedo's of truth. Sorry your ship of fail is so weak it cannot accept the blast of pure knowledge.

 

[repman244]

Wouldnt matter. It will would be the Swedish fault for caving. Like I said hate America all you want. Doesnt change the fact its your own goverment doing it. Not the US.

You really think that the US government just sits there and has nothing to do with anything? I think they try to push their own ideas in every single thing in these days.
For example: Standard & Poor's lowering the ratings for the EU just to make the US look better, and of course everyone falls for that BS.

So? Blame your own government for being susceptible to Standard & Poor. Come up with your own world reserve. Also FYI we were also lowered so I'm missing your point.

Fair enough

Plenty of stuff is made here and pirated. I'd have to say that locally, at least, Chinese content is far more pirated than Hollywood. I like Hollywood movies, but i much rather British and American TV. If i were able to buy an online package for $20-50 per month to watch every British or American TV show on demand, including past TV shows, i would and the industry would make a lot more off me than it does today. Same goes for netflix, if i could rent a package for a reasonable price, i would (it isn't available here)

EDIt - I'm pretty sure that Chinese and maybe Indian content is pirated to a far greater extent than American
