Because we live in a fascist dictatorship in which large corporations own and control our governments. This fact becomes more and more obvious by the day as the policies implemented by government clearly serve only to squash competition for the largest of the corporations who have all bought and paid for the politicians in government through “donations” and other such methods of control. This is pure fascism.

“promobay.org is registered by Fredrik Neij.”

Amazing. My name and initials are all over the sales database and a number of requests made to authorities and third parties. I guess by the same logic you apply, then, I’m responsible for sales policy made in the US, Russia and Germany.

Remind me. Are you the same “Nejtillpirater” who regularly claims he understands how the internet works but for some odd reason is unaware of how registering a domain name works?

“Fredrik Neij has been sentenced (2012) to pay 500 000 SEK to the Swedish state for continued management of TPB.”

And? Aside from doubts regarding the correctness of the verdict and whether it will be overturned it is completely irrelevant whether the initial domain registrar has or has not been sentenced for a crime.

I’m curious, NTP – according to your arguments, then, any contract or signature must be considered illegal or “complicit in criminal activity” if the person drawing up the contract or making the signature is at any time convicted of unlawful behavior.

Would you kindly expound on the logic behind your argument and tell us all why your no doubt “factual” and “relevant” claims on how the law should operate in fact does not make the law operate in that way?

You should take into account that when a government has its own interests,
they don’t care about what its citizens have to say and I don’t need to repeat
to whom the US government loves to give benefits.

How is that relevant? The topic was who ran it, which is different people than Pirate Bay, an considering how much you claim to know and understand, i find it hilarious that you didn’t know who ran Promo Bay.

> “..promobay.org is registered by Fredrik Neij.”

As is all sites that was initially hosted at PRQ. And something you really should learn is that domain registrar is something different than owner or operator of a site. A domain registrar is just that and nothing else. A domain registrar has no legal responsibility for the site or it’s operation.

But you don’t seem to care to much about those facts, which you proved when you committed crimes and performed libel, through incorrectly claiming that Neij operated a site that sold fake drivers licenses, which he never did. He was domain registrar for it(just as he is for all sites that is hosted at PRQ), nothing else.

Although you have openly admitted to being a notorious criminal, so i guess no one should be surprised about your regular criminal activities.

> “Fredrik Neij has been sentenced to pay 500 000 SEK to the Swedish state for continued management of TPB.”

Alleged continued management.

> “On the contrary as can be read in the sentence in case B 7576-11 and B 7670-11 at Stockholms Tingsrätt 2012-05-07.”

Incorrect, no proof can be found in those injunctions, so Anyone’s claim is fully correct. If you believe otherwise you don’t understand the concept of proof. Lack of proof proving the opposite is not proof of the alternative.

But then again, you do advocate reversed burden of proof, so i understand that you reason along those lines, and you have also proved that you don’t understand what an injunction is, so of course you don’t understand what’s written in one, and what it actually means.
