Pirate Bay Founder Begs For Hacker Ceasefire
Barence writes "Pirate Bay's co-founder has pleaded for hackers to stop attacking the sites of those organizations lined up against him. Peter Sunde is on trial with Pirate Bay's three other founders for allegedly distributing copyrighted material. The trial is about to enter its fourth day, and in a gesture of support for the four men hackers have begun assaulting plaintiff websites, beginning with that of the The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. The campaign has caused concern in the Pirate Bay camp, prompting Sunde to write a post titled 'We're winning, stop hacking, please' on his blog."
Who needs enemies, eh? :P
"We're winning, stop hacking, please"
I would prefer something more theatrical such as:
Does it please the court to know that my hand has stayed the executioner's sword from the neck of the prosecution?
Of course, as any decent hacker knows, "Stop hacking please" is just a l33t-speak code message for, "Keep up the good work"!
Reminds me of my old Staff. Sergeant.
What's "Staff." short for?
It will however be available as a torrent :)
I thought hackers were supposed to be ingenious and creative thinkers. Not the equivalent dumbass jocks on a rampage.
Years of repression in highschool locker rooms by the sports jocks breeds creative thoughts of violence in the adult hacker community.
I do not support "The Man". I also do not support your irrational stupidity
Staffordshire, in England. Stiff upper lip, and all that. Known for it's particularly fierce Sergeants, much like Nepal is known for its Gurkhas, and for its Bull Terriers.

"Cease fire boys, we got 'em where we want 'em!"
... surrounded from the inside!
Why would hackers be targeting those sites now instead of hitting them 24/7/365? It's not like these organizations were good and then all of a sudden became evil when they brought TPB to court.
Besides, who really cares about their websites? If the hackers really wanted to get the job done then every employee of every one of those organizations would have nothing but goatse in their inbox from now until the day they resign.
mmmm...forbidden donut
i dont need to remind you what happened after 1792.
1793?
What's "Staff." short for?
In the military, like most jobs, the staff is always short for funding or recruiting reasons.
"Common sense will be the death of us all"
I'd mod you up strictly for my love of flowery bullshit phrasing.
"Common sense will be the death of us all"
Gah! Can't you at least put a spoiler alert in your subject?

What's a Nepalese Bull Terrier like?
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
In the right sauce, tastes just like chicken.
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
Don't be an ass. Maybe his backspace key is fucked up -- oh, sorry, impaired -- or maybe his meatbeaters -- oh, sorry, hands -- are too weak -- again, sorry, atrophied -- to manipulate the larger -- oh, sorry, full figured -- key.

With friends like these, who needs enemies, eh? :P

The copyright holders I keep hearing about continue to believe shit that has been struck down again and again. Apparently this case opened with a speech by the prosecution saying that the purpose of copyright was to ensure artists get paid and can control the use of their work. This has never been true and has been made abundantly clear by every court in the world that this is *not* the purpose of copyright.
It is in Sweden.
Why do you think such a tiny population has the second biggest music industry in the world -- incentives (who do you think produce all that crap Americans listen to).
Same as any other dog - biscuits, slow cats and the taste of its own genitals.
At the bottom of the
