New Threats Against Pirate Bay Owners

angry tapir writes "The Pirate Bay should be closed, and if it isn't, two of the founders will each have to pay a fine of 500,000 Swedish kronor (US$71,500), according to a verdict in the Stockholm District Court. This time it's Fredrik Neij and Gottfrid Svartholm Warg who are in the court's crosshairs. They have been forced to shut down the site or pay the fine. The court has stated that the site will have to remain closed unless Neij and Warg are exonerated on another similar case they're involved in, which is now on appeal."

Want to improve your Karma? Instead of "Post Anonymously", try the "Post Humously" option.

On the contrary, "funny" is dangerous to your karma. A +5 funny doesn't improve your karma at all, but often when one tries to be humorous the joke is interpreted as a troll or flamebait. Some people have no sense of humor. In fact, you can tell the people who aren't karma whores by looking at their achievements page. If they have "the comedian" thay've said something hilarious enough to get a +5 funny. You just don't do that if you worry about karma.

Anonymous posts are not good for your karma. But instead of posting humorously, post interestingly, incightfully, or informatively.
