A Short Summary Following the Pirate Bay Trial

Posted by kdawson on from the all-over-but-the-sawdust dept.

Dan B. writes "The Guardian has a nice piece wrapping up the trial in Sweden for the co-defendants in the P2P trial-of-the-decade, that of The Pirate Bay. 'Today, the defense lawyers summed up. It was a short trial and not a particularly merry one, but it could have far-reaching effects.' Surprisingly, when the defendants hit the stand they didn't bash copyright or take a libertarian approach; it all came back to the tried and tested formula for criminal defense, 'I am not responsible.'"

    software engineers get a SALARY. maybe you didn't know that?

    I am a software engineer and get no salary, and CHOOSE to risk it all in return for royalties. Thats the choice. Don't bitch about having a choice and making the wrong one

    And you are talking about the 'entitlement mentality' and having a go at the content creators?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    It seems you are confused. the problem is slashdot readers who have an 'Entitlement mentality' to everyone else's hard work for fuck all payment.

    I can't believe you think your post made sense.
