Hi,
These events point out the stupidity of those who do not or cannot adapt to evolving technology. Without addressing whether 'sharing' of intellectual property is right or wrong, the fact remains that it is trivially possible. Rather than trying to force obsolete and ineffective laws to cover situations way beyond their original scope, those who want to stop the 'piracy' need to reexamine the problem and their proposed solutions.

Quote:I was just on the Pirate Bay's website today and saw this, "Triumphant Win" sign posted along with a blip about winning bigger in the end. . . .They didn't get squished like an annoying bug, so they figured they won? Couldn't find their web site (didn't try very hard) so I didn't get their side of the story (if any).
So, how is this a triumphant win for The Pirate Bay founders?

Quote:And for people who keep getting mad at me for posting an entire article and the link, here is my logic because I'm sick of hearing it: I post the link to validate my claims, and I post the entire article because eventually, most news links on the net go dead, usually after a few months, so if the conversation is ever revisited and the initial article is gone, the conversation is fruitless.Fair enough. However, the reason those links go dead is because no one cares about that subject anymore. Which is the same reason that the thread usually does not get resurrected. Suit yourself;)
