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

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.'"

Re:Bitter protest against copyrights

[FlyingGuy]

Your argument is both foolish and ill founded and will lead only to escalation.

You have NO right to copy what and author/artist creates and publishes, only the author or their duly appointed agent who compensates the author for every copy of the author's work they produce based upon whatever agreement the author and agent make.

The prevailing attitude of "I can do whatever I want because (fill in your false assumptions and flawed reasoning here)" will only be met by an even harder and progressively harsher reaction if this continues.

As usual the minority screws these things up for the majority. Before the owners of TPB went on trial I predicted they would and the TPB supporters said, "they never will!". When the owners of TPB went on trial I predicted they would be convicted and the TPB supporters said "No Way"

I now predict they will do jail time and have their property seized and sold to satisfy the fines imposed.

Lets see if I am 3 for 3
