Swedish Authorities Attempt Pirate Bay Shutdown
Several sources are discussing the recent attempted shutdown of The Pirate Bay by Swedish authorities. It seems that following the recent court defeats and the pending civil actions, Swedish authorities threatened TPB's main bandwidth supplier with a hefty fine in order to get them shut down. Not surprisingly TPB has relocated and is back online although the tracker still seems to be down. As a gesture of their "appreciation" TPB plans on sending a mocking t-shirt to the people believed responsible for the takedown attempt.
"I sued The Pirate Bay and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt"
Don't you just hate it when they just accidentally the entire pirate bay?
What's the T-shirt going to read? "I tried to take down The Pirate Bay and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" ?
You just got troll'd!
Well, in my defense, I'm too dumb to figure out *how* to use bittorrent, so I don't use it to download anything, legal or illegal. But I'm still rooting for them.

"dRink" I meant! ARRRR! Too much grog apparently. ;)
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.

No, but it sometimes annoys me when people leave critical words out of their sentences.
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
who are you talking to?
I'm a small 'content producer' who has 100% embraced digital distribution, does not employ lawyers, and does not support the RIAA, MPAA or any other government lobbying organisation.
And hey, guess what, TPB rip me off along with everyone else. Could it be that they just dont give a fuck about the effects of their actions? Lumping in TPB with some sort of anti-corporate crusade is silly. Those guys just sold out for millions, and were originally financed by a right wing millionaire called carl lundstrom.
TPB are as corporate as walmart.

he's about to be eaten by a grue?
Quit breathing and stealing all that oxygen, you malicious bastard!
We'll run out!
When someone accidentally the something, assume that the missing bit is:
A: Destroyed, for things that function
B: Rectally Inserted, for things that fit in a rectum.
Example: ..featuring a banana.
"He accidentally the banana" could be found in conjunction with an image of a man
Couldn't agree more, but nobody here wants to here the truth. Thats why they modded you down in the hope nobody else will read it.
This is EXACTLY why there are no linux ports of big games. The demographic who insist on running linux have a sense of entitlement to everyone else's work for free.
Why would anyone sane spend MONEY to port their game to a platform where people refuse to pay for it?

they have made an inhuman effort to pump up ad impressions.
Everything else was a smokescreen of bullshit.
I don't see, when I visit TPB a big banner linking to all the torrents of free speech essays for countries like china or burma, or stuff that has been published by whisteblowers.
Its just "music" "movies" "games" "software".
They don't give a fuck about free speech, never have, and never will.

lol.
what a fucking clueless prick.
Enjoy your self congratulatory masturbating about how information is worthless. I look forward to a day when all the 'coding geeks' here at slashdot have to work as bricklayers thanks to their own short sightedness. :D
