Yarrrrr , FIRST !
Too bad , but as long as it doesn't interfere with the japanese bestiality/goo/trannie/anal/scat/watersports/shotacon porn I'm downloading right now , I should be fine ...
@ Naim Master: Have you heard of /d...nevermind.
Anyway, that kinda sucks. I've never used TBP, but it's still a big loss. It's kinda the same thing with Circuit City: I never shopped there, but it's still sad to see something so big die. RIP.
thats not a long sentence, they'll be out in 7 months.
@TheDrMaster
But it isn't dead. The leaders are fucked, sure. But the site is still safe and sound for the time being.
3.5 million dollaridoos?!
Wow, that sucks. I would be lost without PirateBay, I hope the founders will be fine in the end.
They're appealing against the ruling buying them plenty of time (a few years at least). Even if they do go to jail the site will stay up. They have more than enough back-up servers in order to prevent any future raids and I'm sure they have people that will take over while they're gone.
Even though The Pirate Bay is well known (mainly because of all the controversy), I prefer Mininova.
Its kinda lame that governments can decide to take away an entire year from a persons life, just for being a webmaster for a website used for people to upload torrents to share.
Good, I can't stand the internet generation thinking it's ok to download games and movies without paying for them. I hope they get butt raped and their site gets closed down permanently.
*agreed with ArrestedDeveloper*
@TheDrMaster
In fact, the first server that TPB used is now in a museum.
Fontaine I hope you rot in prison with the rest of 'em
IronPikeman has the right of it, appeals are guaranteed. A case with this much publicity will likely find its way to the Swedish Supreme Court before it's through.
Never bothered with TPB, but this is just a battle in a wider media revolution.
TPB is part of the net now, and not going anywhere, anytime soon.
I have NOT downloaded a couple of NOT torrents from them in the past.
ArrestedDevelopper: They aren't going to prison. They'll appeal the sentence and it's probably take a couple of years at least to settle things. And even if they are found guilty when everything is said and done, the website will still be around, if not another one or 5 will take it's place.
They are swimming in money, they don't need to worry about prison.
This doesn't really change anything as far as PirateBay is concerned.
I really think they will be able to get away from this with little to no prison time. It will probably be commuted to a lesser sentence and large fine.
i agree they will probably have little to no time in prison, and have a fine
