The Pirate Bay Is Making a "Spectrial" of It

Posted by kdawson on from the step-right-up dept.

IDOXLR8 writes "The Harvard Law students defending accused file-swapper Joel Tenenbaum are doing their best to turn his upcoming trial into a media event. But when it comes to pure spectacle, they have nothing on The Pirate Bay. TPB is referring to the event as a 'spectrial,' a cross between a spectacle and a trial. They have set up a site where you can track their current location, complete with journal entries. The trial begins next Monday and features a live audio feed and Twitter translations."

    Why has kdawson posted a story that is unrelated to Australia, and which contains no links to Australian websites?

    This is unprecedented.

    Has kdawson finally been replaced by somebody who doesn't suck dingo cocks?

    While I agree the lawsuit(s) is(are) bullshit, this is not the attitude to take.

    You don't make friends talking like this:
