[...] In the years that followed the .com domain was sold to Craig Pratka, who owns several torrent site typo domains, and is currently in the process of registering the Pirate Bay trademark.

I think the unfortunate reality of people is that we’re all fucked in the head. To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, as individual people we are as smart or as average or as stupid as we happen to be – but as part of a larger body of people, we are only as smart as our most stupid members. We become mindless sheep, voting for whichever candidate looks and sounds most authoritative in the circumstances, no matter how many times they’ve lied to us in the past. Depressing, but sadly true, I think. :/

I think it is great when our side can take the laws our opposition has lobbied strongly for, and show them that not only are those laws not theirs to use exclusively, but that they easily cut in both directions. Is it hypocrisy? Let me ask you this. Say someone is trying to kill you, and they drop their gun. Do you pick it up and use it?

Awfully well said Doc.
I wish we could click the Like button multiple times for that ^ one.

The greedy corporations have indeed corrupted the concept of copyright and transformed it into copywrong. We do indeed need to go back and restore the rights these corporate fucktards have wronged us with. and the original artists and authors of course.

Yeah and you expecting them to spend time and energy creating content just to give it away to you and everyone else for free clearly aren’t one.

(They won’t do that, btw).
