The Pirate Bay Is Back Online
Many readers have submitted news that The Pirate Bay is back online, operating for now as "The Police Bay." Writes one anonymous submitter: "Pirate Bay got new hardware, moved the servers abroad and used recent backups. So the only bad side-effect of this police raid is that hundreds of clients of the ISP PRQ still have not got their servers back from the police. When the police did the raid on Wednesday, they took Pirate Bay from Bankgirot's secure server room. Then they also took all the servers in PRQ colocation facility STH3, effectively disabling a lot of small companies. The connection between PRQ and TPB? - Same owners, nothing more, this is beginning to become a huge scandal in Sweden with coverage on TV and all newspapers 4 days in a row."
You're talking about the situation in Sweden, yes? No? Shut up then.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
I don't know about you, but I never managed to download anything from there. Before the raid the torrents never worked, even the newest ones. Now it can't even get me working .torrent files.

How come every time someone is mimicking swedish in here, it always sounds dutch... And yes I know The Swedish Cook. I just wish the cook had sounded more swedish than dutch, or then they should've made him The Dutch Cook.
;)
Me being Finnish, the similarity between dutch and swedish is not enough for me to try laughing at this fake swedish.
I know it might be funny for the land of the free spirit and free speech.
-Is the meaning of life vanity, or is vanity the meaning of life?
What is the difference? I mean, the Dutch actually have talent. The Swedes? We are still waiting for them to do something, other than have nude beaches.
It's either on the beat or off the beat, it's that easy.
I moderate therefore I rule!

Is there something wrong with your irony meter? Or are you just stupid?
What you wrote was stupid, if you want to do stand-up go to a nightclub.

Hrrrm.
Seems that I am arguing with a teenager, and as such, lessons are in order (serves me right for still reading this site).
The original statement was of the logical form "The sole purpose of X is Y" where Y was "to facilitate crime".
For the purposes of ridiculing this, ummmm, ridiculous statement, I replaced X with various other things, to give some indication of the foolishness of such absolutism in statements. You *did* notice this, didn't you?
Pirate Bay has various purposes, some of the monetary, some of them political. Your original statement was worthless, poorly thought thru, and easily demolished. I chose to treat it with the contempt it deserved.
You seem to have missed my deliberately stupid finisher: Sure as the pope shits in the woods, and the bear wears a pointy hat.
This may have given someone more clueful than thou some indication to my intent, as I was worried that your original post was so ridiculous that I was being the victim of a troll, and chose to be playful.
I thought that you were a troll, but now I know for sure that you are fuckwit. C'est la vie...
Fuck me, are you deadly stupid. Stay away from machinery, fire, water, steep surfaces and anything else that requires a modicum of commonsense in order to avoid serious injury. Don't drive motorcars, think of the children!
Anyway, I finally summoned up enough courage to wade thru your badly formatted post to the end, and found two out and out contradictions.
Are you a silly boy, or what?
Starting from your dumb original post, you said: "The sole purpose of pirate bay is to facilitate crime"
NOW, in reply to my "Pirate Bay has various purposes, some of the monetary" you say: "Yes, to raise money for themselves. Noble goal *g*".
That makes 2 purposes, in your book. Facilitating crime AND making money. What was your point again?
You dickhead. [as an aside, the nobility or otherwise of the purpose has nothing to do with it's "non-soleness", if you get my drift]
And then you say "It has nothing to do with the Pirate Party, except that it does". Wtf?
Well, forgive me, I'm not quite up on redneck vernacular.
Or logic, it seems.
Seems that I am arguing with a teenager
Funny, that is what i was thinking.
Not too shabby. Perhaps there is hope for you, young Padawan... but first you should concentrate on capitalising the perpendicular pronoun, and previewing.
The Oxford Comma will come later.
Fuckwit
Ok kid, if you can't behave then this is over.
