Private property guards the existence of the state; it offers absolutely nothing to workers. The only way we can guard our interests is by collective control.

Reasoned mind = nubcakes

Bye bye loser

Nubcakes, you know nothing about Buddhism so please refrain from such ignorant drivel.

FUCK THE RIAA
FUCK THE MPAA
FUCK THE IFPI
FUCK SCIENTOLOGY TOO NOW THAT WE’RE AT IT.

THE INTERNET WILL PREVAIL!

research autarchism please.

It’s a sane alternative to anarchism.

Private property is necessary, but not to the extent it is now.

Private property, patent law and copyright became the tools that created our world’s behemoths… the companies, powerful enough to overturn states, with enough money and rsources only another company can keep them at bay.

Money is power, technology is power… and private property is the tool that lets you amass them infinitely and direct them at your whim.

Now THAT’S WRONG.

First of all, the big media companies admit that piracy is generating profit for them.

Then, in a potentially crucial antipiracy trial they set out ‘experts’ that can’t differentiate between megabits and megabytes…

This looks like an attempt to formalize status quo. Hydra bites off it’s own heads that get in the way not to get itself killed altogether… Media companies don’t stand a chance against mass piracy, they don’t stand a chance against generation change. My parents may not know how to down stuff from torrents… And my kids will know how to successfully hide from prosecution, or where to find content without being tracked. That change you can’t fight. Question is, how does a big media company survive it?

IMHO this trial is done on purpose… To draw borders. To let piracy have a small victory… but not too big of a victory.

The more I think of it, this trial does not seem to be about winning the case…

long story short:

IT’S A TRAP?

but what are they trying to catch?

What about private torrent sites with closed membership? How are you going to find them without violating a plethora of laws in the process, making the inquiry alone a criminal act?

Sure, TPB might(emphasis on ‘might’) die, but filesharing won’t. As long as I have creative access to my own computer, I can put anything I want on it. I can program a new bittorrent or filesharing app and use usenet to spread it anonymously.

The point it, regardless of the outcome of this trial, there’s nothing that can be done to stop the avalanche that is about to occur to the media industry, and they know it.

“I suppose this fucking moron the Dalai Lama hasn’t noticed every single economy based on Marxism features massive levels of poverty, a closed and controlled society – especially infomation and almost every single case has failed in less than 100 years since it’s inception.”

Actually, the association between wealth and happiness is propagated by western capitalism.
People in poverty stricken Nigeria have a higher “happiness rating” than those in the wealthy US.
Its a cultural and reinforced messaging issue. Maybe you should watch less TV.

That said, I am downloading everything I can. And noone can ever stop me from putting that on a 500GB passport and selling it when they finally do lock things down.

All it will do is take the media I have amassed, free information to anyone driven enough to collect it- and turn it into a valuable library; because people will not be able to do it themselves anymore. I can easily see a world where limits on usage make pirating nearly impossible of very specialized and those of us who continue actually DO turn it into a black market.

you incorrect in understanding the reality of torrents and what it reflects on.

What it truly reflects on is that a US tv show that is not available elsewhere due to copyright issues, is not worth anymore value than watching it free in the US. Just because overseas the businesses that created the shows (such as heroes) have failed to monetize things by actually releasing things at the same time on every continent when the internet is widely available for this, there is no excuse at all.

If the show was watched in the US for free, why should someone be able to charge for it elsewhere? Last I checked, you don’t get to charge people for free things, such as oxygen.

That is what we call failed capitalism. When a market is sitting there waiting to open up their wallet and you refuse to take the money.

Meanwhile, piratebay does not have to be a profit-minded identity, they could certain be a non profit corporation (if sweden has provisions for that).

Meanwhile, the VHS vs Betamax case looms again, since thats all this is. A rehash of not being able to deal with the times.

Unlike capitalism? Schooling’s not been that kind to you under this system, if you’re finding punctuation and spelling troublesome!

There has never been an economy based on Marxism, full stop. The USSRs, Cubas and Chinas of the world have run, or ran on state capitalist lines, with no attempt of abolishing wage labour. The fact they were “communist states” is a paradox in itself; you cannot have a stateless state, which is what a communist society is.

When movements have tried to enact Marxist economies, they have been smashed, such as the Paris Commune, or Anarchist held parts of Spain. Here, in its mere infancy, it has been successful, beneficial for the workers, and in Spain, actually more productive than the capitalist model that came before.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

* never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We’ve know each other for so long
Your hearts been aching
But you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know whats been going on
We know the game and were gonna play it

And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see

(* repeat)

Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, five you up

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

(* repeat 3 times)

What a load of horseshit, head in a cloud of dope smoke crap.

I suppose this fucking moron the Dalai Lama hasn’t noticed every single economy based on Marxism features massive levels of poverty, a closed and controlled society – especially infomation and almost every single case has failed in less than 100 years since it’s inception.

For some reason it seems very fashionable to accept the Dalai Lama views, opinions and Buddhist beliefs. To me he’s another delusional religious person who believes in a different version of life after death, trees having “spirits” (whatever that means) and reincarnation. In other words he’s just as delusional as christians, muslims and jews however for some reason people treat the man with respect that the other religions never get.

Buddhism seems very fashionable to people that have no idea what it entails: the ultimate expression of Buddhism is the annihilation of the ego – how fucked up is that?

That said, I’m sure whilst a sizeable amount of pirates decry capitalism, they see no solace in anarchy, a free and justice society. The piracy movement does need to be directed, but certainly not down the parliamentary route.

DOZENS

watch out for what is to come this evil will consume all of our families and their futures!!!

The PirateBay is and will be The PirateBay.

I think my torrent is stuck.

TC

Its not a matter of just throwing a few switches, get real. And the final thing you dont understand.. is that the bad guys out there are ALWAYS hella better than the good guys.. thats why they always loose. IE hackers.

AND if you look at true visionaries like Roddenberry and 1984 , you get the two ways we can go, and i highly doubt much longer we are all going to tout these rights being removed for nothing and are terrorists ever laughing they don’t have to do nothing now cause the state is doing it too us.

perhaps you should learn the difference between “their” and “there” before you start insulting people’s intelligence?

also, this article was written with the same vitriolic bias of a bill o’reilly segment.

They’re giving the Mafia a bad name!

GO SWEDES! GO PIRATEPARTY!

def. “what’s on those servers?”

IFPI “… well nothing illegal.. but we DO have them.”

Wasn’t it Sunde that wanted more space for people and the media and whatnot? I think if anyone is trying to change this into a spectacle, it would be TPB.

nt to flame you or anything, but common man, your post almost makes them out to be as bad as hollywood, either take some uppers or wake up to the fact that their is far too much evil in the world to focusd on TPB.

unrelated, capitalism can lick my dick a suck it dry, it just breeds greed and unproductive competativeism
Hopefully with a few more FAIR trials the world will take the climb into socialism – imagin, a world wher you wont have to choise between your passion and somthing that morraly/emotionaly errodes you so you can pay the bills.
in any case, i think the system we live by should work on paper BEFORE we put it into practice.
-sry for any sp’s im too lazy to word it up
peace x
