Pirate Bay Court Loss Won't Stop the Flow of Files

Posted by timothy on from the magic-eight-ball-seems-to-be-working dept.

Adrian Lopez writes "According to PC World, 'Hollywood may have won a battle, but the war against piracy is far from over. Unauthorized file sharing will continue (and likely intensify), if not through The Pirate Bay, then through dozens of other near identical swashbuckling Web sites. ... What Hollywood needs to remember is sites like The Pirate Bay are like weeds. When you try to kill one, they grow back even stronger. In this case, The Pirate Bay already moved most of its servers to the Netherlands, a move that could keep the site running even if The Pirate Bay loses its appeal.'"

    "Hey, don't sweat it! Your free ride isn't ending! We can continue to FUCK over the artists! Those big meanies who shut down the most well-known torrent tracker server for copyright materials aren't going to enjoy this victory for long!

    Long live the leeches! FUCK artists, and FUCK their rights!"

    "The Automobile was the "death" (well there are very, very few manufacturers any more) of the carriage and buggy whip industries too"

    Only...the automobile was itself a new product. People downloading shit for free still need the original producers to create the content. They are merely making copies, not producing something new.

    so please come up with an argument that actually makes sense.
