This really caught my eye. Taken from CNN.com

"We want to find out whether pressure from the U.S. government was behind the action," Center Party spokesman Johan Linander was quoted as saying by newspaper Dagens Nyheter."

its good that someone takes the fight against the fundamentalistic media corporations. make systems where the middle man can't have 90% of the pie. more money for the artist, cheaper goods to the user, get a ton of parasites out of their armani suits and onto the street-corners.

thats my thought on the ideology. piracy in itself though is just a way to get their attention. its not pretty, but it has to be done. :rolleyes:

Piracy wouldn't happen if things were cheaper. That much is true.

The owner from IsoHunt in the interview from CBC, He said piracy would probably die down if companies offered new release movies like iTunes (Distribution through software for cheap prices)

Just to say: the pirate bay is up and operational apparently. And it kinda changed their image into a more taunting one.

ARGUMENT FROM CREATION, a.k.a. ARGUMENT FROM PERSONAL INCREDULITY (I)
(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be uncomfortable.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

yarr, a proper taunt against the parasites in hollywood :p

(naturally, a pirate which uses the word parasite seems suspiciously educated and would probably be backstabbed next time he uses fancy words at the wrong time)

They seem to have moved their servers to the Netherlands until the whole debacle in Sweden is over. I would expect them to sue the Swedish government, seeing as the siezure of not only thier servers, but other people's servers, was illegal.
