Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1237191 Yes, I am sure if all pirates were put out of business, the price of software would drop dramatically. Not! Photoshop would be about $40 if cyber pirates weren't riding these waves. Yeah. Right. hahahaha photoshop adobe element ? can't even use group in your project. and "the gimp" is free and do exactly the same thing, actually i prefer gimp. you have to pay an expensive photoshop CS to work in a pro environnement. this is strictly useless to use photoshop for 40$ when gimp is free |

v7DusK User ID: 12716693 ![]() 03/18/2012 10:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most of the things I have downloaded were to sample the crummy work of Hollywood and what not before wasting my precious money buying the lame nonsense they all pass off as entertainment! Without p2p networking I would be VERY pissed off at nearly EVERYTHING I would previously have purchased. The "entertainment industry" is swinging WAY BELOW par these days. I expect more from these industries before I lay my hard earned cash down on the bullsh*t they try to sell me! |

Marax User ID: 4103417 ![]() 03/18/2012 03:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is from an admin on TPB. Its a reply about the investigation.... TPB is not hosted in -insert country here-, as far as we know. "As far as we know?" you might ask! Yes. TPB is set up in a very special way to make sure that it will stay up. This means that noone really knows exactly where the servers are, but we've made sure to stay out of the United States of Arrogance and some other countries where the governments do not like free speech. The only box someone could find is the one in the front, that needs to be public. We have multiple of those, scattered like diarrhea around the world. They contain no storage device, no graphics card. Only a network cable, a cpu and memory. Being nice people, we've put small easters egg into each box though, for the hard work put into finding that public machine! Nothing dangerous though, just funny. Even though this means that TPB can never be pin-pointed to a certain country, the Swedish district attorney Fredrik Ingblad initiated a new investigation into The Pirate Bay back in 2010. Information has been leaked to us every now and then by multiple sources, almost on a regular basis. It's an interesting read. We can certainly understand why WikiLeaks wished to be hosted in Sweden, since so much data leaks there. The reason that we get the leaks is usually that the whistleblowers does not agree with what is going on. Something that the governments should have in mind - even your own people does not agree. Since our recent move to a .SE domain the investigation has been cranked up a notch. We think that the investigation is interesting considering nothing that TPB does is illegal. Rather we find it interesting that a country like Sweden is being so abused by lobbyists and that this can be kept up. They're using scare tactics, putting pressure on the wrong people, like providers and users. All out of fear from the big country in the west, and with an admiration for their big fancy wallets. We're staying put where we are. We're going no-where. But we have a message to hollywood, the investigators and the prosecutors: LOL. Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars. I'd like to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa did. Not screaming in terror like the people in the back seat of the car he was driving. |
Pirate boy User ID: 7729515 ![]() 03/18/2012 03:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, the pirate knew the swedish cops were coming weeks ago. Pirate sez the'll find nothing since their servers are all over the place. They have a dummy server sitting in the front office for show. Cops were going to grab pirates .SE domain name and thats probably why there offline right now. The pirate was sued years ago and this is just another attempt to offline them. The Pirates were ready for them this time. Unfortunately, domain name protection is no longer a reality since DHS, ICE, FEMA, and other three jacklebet agencies can take the innernut down. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1237191 Yes, I am sure if all pirates were put out of business, the price of software would drop dramatically. Not! Exactly ,,, the price of audio, movies and software is high , not because fo pirates or people like us . The prices are high is because of the companies greed an they know that you are willing to pay what ever it takes to have the new game for your xbox or the new god smack cd etc.... so who is really to blame? Its the almighty Dollar or yen or what have you , not the downloaders |

mathetes User ID: 18119575 ![]() 10/02/2012 03:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Two days ago, the Swedish investigators launched a new investigation to Pirate bay. On the heels of Megauploads bust, pirate bay is as of right now. Being raided. Quoting: Captain_Jack Digital strike force is in full swing. where you get the info from? A source or because the site happens to be down at the moment? Just curious to how real this is..if at all.. Its widely known [link to www.bbc.co.uk] 15 March 2012 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |
