Law is made of consensus. If there is no consensus there is no law.

the solution? a previous poster has said it already: ignore.

unfortunately, peoples _continous_ desire for useless crap like movies, tv shows and music put you on a leash. and these media companies knows very well how to yank that chain.

free youself from that leash (desire).

to the same degree as now? doubtful.

Which means that more likely than scaring people, IPRED has merely driven the pirates further underground to places where they can better hide their tracks.

Face it, media cartels, governments and MAFIAAtards: piracy will never be stopped no matter what is said or done about it. Even if ACTA comes to pass, darknets will spring up and piracy will continue as usual.

Yeah, that makes the statistics go away. Uh huh.

Nice try.

Wasn’t its launch supposed to coincide with IPRED? The TPB crew fails again! Also, uploading to TPB is not working currently because the code picture isn’t showing. Only a handful of torrents have been uploaded this evening!

Furthermore, the disposable email service Slopsbox doesn’t actually work. I tried to register somewhere using it, but the email never showed up. And it’s just not me, but others have told me of its nonfunctioning in the past.

I cannot get over the fact that people pledge allegion to these folks, but reality is that their inventions TPB included have always suffered from big problems and I am not at all impressed at their apparent technical ineptness and lack of support.

The object of a boycott is to avoid supporting the target of said boycott. Downloading movies via filesharing does nothing to support the movie industry what so ever, so it doesn’t violate the conditions of a boycott at all.

Retards shouldn’t call other people retarded. Then again, it’s funny, so maybe they should :D

What you’re suggesting is useless. You’re basically saying “I won’t buy at that place” and then hire other people to steal from there for you. The store you’re trying to boycott then has to order even more merchandise because it’s constantly stolen and it ranks high on the illegal popularity scales. If you really want to destroy the media industry as it is DONT CONSUME THEIR MEDIA. You need to ruin their popularity and therefore boycott anything they produce in any way shape from or rendition. Not so easy is it?

It’s no use downloading movies from the web if they’re then still ranked at IMDB and discussed online and such. That’s what generates cashgflow for these companies. If you want to actually harm them … ignore them. Make people aware of free and open alternatives.

Warner Brothers will only die when nobody watches any of their stuff anymore, not stolen, not rented not anything.

Talking about boycott and then getting the very product you want to boycott through illegal channels is completely retarded.

and then they wonder why people dont support there government and commit crimes..

can you say retards?

Then that country does not have the right to call itself a democracy.

part of me says it’d be different if the law in question was ‘from now on killing is illegal’.. another part of me says screw it, if over half the population of a country wants to legalize killing, go for it.

Next year it’s time for Sweden to elect their new ‘riksdag’ (goverment) and to be honest, I look forward to seeing what the consequences this will have for the current council.

As they say: ‘You reap what you sow’.

This implies that IPRED hasn’t stopped people from filesharing at all, and the 30% drop is because the common folk – the ones that don’t even fileshare – are logging out over fear, disgust, or both.

And Henrik Pontén wants to sit back and call IPRED a success? ROFL.

Let’s see some statistics to back it up, then. Because right now the statistics indicate it’s a failure.

If there is solidarity amongst pirates, then what do people have to fear? As long as, in those cases, the people actually have a face, then if the public sees them as ordinary people, then this would be even worse for the IFPI. Perhaps the Piratbyran over there could carry on a campaign of civil disobedience of disobeying the copyright law publicly (i. e. in the view of the public) by distributing copyrighted material in the streets.

Pirates of the world, unite!
