The Pirate Bay Seeks Interesting Route To "Pay" Fine

Drivintin is one of many who have written to tell us about how The Pirate Bay has taken an interesting approach to the 30 million SEK fine levied in their recent court case (which they said they wont pay). "The bill inspired anakata to devise a plan involving sending money to Danowsky's law firm, but not to pay the fine of course which they say will never be paid. Anakata's clever plan is called internet-avgift, internet-fee in English. Anakata encourages all Internet users to pay extremely small sums around 1 SEK (0.13 USD) to Danowsky's law firm, which represented the music companies at the Pirate Bay trial. The music companies will not benefit from this, instead it will cost them money to handle and process all the money."

    What about the trial was flawed and what was politically tainted?
    The court applied law that the parent poster believes is unfair. Thus, only a court that ignored the law would be fair, in the mind of the parent poster.

    Hijacked, don't reply to your critics with AC. It shows you up as the stooge you are!

    This is what just blows me away about these types of cases. Seeing how many people try to defend them as if it is some form of free speech or fair use or whatever.... it's wrong, period, and anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.

    Their latest scheme to avoid paying is wrong as well, but what do you expect from a culture that values selfishness and unethical immoral behavior.
