Pirate bay will never die. You can not kill an idea.

I'll always learn about a new domain every few weeks. It's like being an internet world traveller.
[–] DaMan123456 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
Hahah true. Its like playing whack a mole with the internet. Once you kill it on this domain, on to the next domain. Each time it comes back stronger too!

Great news for the internet.
I remember Pirate Bay being up for sale after being taken down then magically up again so why not go after the company that bought Pirate bay instead of these 4 guys?

Because that would be logical... :D

I'm sure it's purely political and for show. It didn't seem like the prosecutors have much of a case considering one of the Founders was in jail during the time period the copyright violations occurred.

I think I'm going with re-watch TBP:AFK Documentary tonight. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. It documents the Founders of TBP during their legal proceedings.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had not heard of this documentary before.
Here is a YouTube link to the documentary for anyone else that's interested.

Even though brokep is now a sellout SJW who scammed people via Hemlis and undeservedly rakes in loads of income via bullshit apps like flattr, it's still a very relevant and poignant film. Steal This Film I & II are also very informative.

I saw it a few years ago. Dont expect much. Also, you shouldnt highly recommend something you havent watched yourself
[–] bear_for_congress [S] 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Considering I have seen it... Several times. But thanks for coming out.

What do you mean technically, it's the court, where the judgement is final, and what they say stands.
[–] Fougare ago
You can also disagree with a decision a court has made. (Example: 'murica's response to the supreme court's decision not many days ago)
The case was more or less dismissed on a technicality, they couldn't prove the 4 were involved during the period that where they (whoever "they" is) had evidence that TPB was allegedly breaking the law, so they had to dismiss the case.
I guess it could be similar to catching Al Capone on tax evasion charges and the IRS realizing they did actually get a tax form from him right before he gets sentenced.

Technically, proof that the accused could not have done it is not a technicality.
The site had been sold off five years prior, and one of the accused was in prison at the time.

yay, a win for the internet and people!

Anakata is still in jail.

Don't worry, piraten - you can't win for losing with these fucksticks.

Victory!
