Pirate Bay Legal Action Dropped In Norway

superapecommando writes "Copyright holders have given up legal efforts to force Norwegian ISP Telenor to block filesharing site The Pirate Bay, one of the parties to the case said. The copyright holders, led by Norway's performing rights society TONO and by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry Norway (IFPI Norge), have lost two rounds in the Norwegian court system, and have now decided against appealing the case to Norway's supreme court."

    I really love all the people that say they only pirate stuff 'cause the cost isn't reasonable. Yeah, if I'm broke and I need a loaf of bread then any price is unreasonable so I'm justified in stealing it. Screw you, pay the 2 bucks assholes. And to the guys that say that they wouldn't have been customers anyway so they are justified in taking it I don't get how that works either. If it costs more than you want to pay then you don't get to have it. Simple. If you wouldn't have bought it anyway then you still don't get to have it. it's really simple and I don't get why you can't grasp this concept.
