I hate arguing with people who think file sharing is okay, justified, legal etc. The reason is simple, there is no argument there. I can’t be any more specific than, “It’s not yours, you can’t have it.”
Now, the Pirate Bay guys are officially the biggest whiners on the planet, claiming that after the verdict came through that they have to pay for what they took, they said, “We’re the heroes here.” Heroes? Really? You’re not sealing rice and giving it to starving children here guys. You’re helping some fourteen-year-old in Duluth, MN watch Spiderman 3. Perhaps there will be a Nobel Prize for accessible Romantic Comedies in the near future, but for now, get over yourselves.
Then there’s this
Defenders of the four say that no copyright material is stored on The Pirate Bay’s servers and no swapping of files takes place there. The site’s legal adviser, Mikael Viborg, has stated that because “torrent” files and trackers merely point to content, the site’s activities are legal under Swedish law.
First, yes … that counts. If you throw a party, invite a bunch of high school girls, spread drugs on the table, then invite a bunch of convicted sex-offenders, and call it the Rape Party… I mean really, no one made these dudes call their site the Pirate Bay. They should be arrested just for being that obnoxious.
Also, what is the motivation again? What makes them think they’re heroes? I s’pose they think they’re leading some kind of revolution against … against what? Against paying for shit?
The whole thing is retarded. Get off your entitlement pony and go to jail, dicks.
Viva la Revolucion!
