The Pirate Bay Facing "Old Fashioned" Pressure

Posted by kdawson on from the brown-shoed-squares-in-the-dead-of-night dept.

Jety writes "Ars Technica has an article reporting that The Pirate Bay is facing legal pressure from a new front. A wealthy musician with a track record for going head-to-head with record labels and little kids is now joining the queue to take a legal swing at TPB. What I find particularly interesting about this article is the description of the 'camera-toting investigators following [The Pirate Bay admins] around in cars marked with Danish plates.' One TPB admin asks, '"What do they think they can find out by following us around? Everything we do is digital.'"

    Seriously, this must be the 3rd story about Prince in 3 weeks. Is this going to be a weekly feature? Are we going to start seeing other fallen-from-favor media "personalities" iand "pop-tarts" in the rotation?

    "I think they would be more interested in personal assets that could be liquidated for damages, not the servers."

    Butt, the DOO have personal ASS Sets that can be LIQUIDated for damages: their asses are their most prized ass sets, since they likely program sitting down...

    While they eat donuts, Danish plates, Belgian Waffles, and Turkish Hens...French Toast (from the US?),

    (OK, lame, trying too hard...)
