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."

    Times are tough. Yet, I can afford the finest and firmest shits to eat and the hunkiest, studliest faggots to buttsex with using the money I saved pirating...no, stealing your worthless garbage.

    Fuck you, content providers. Your number's up. I have all the good content there is to have. My gigabytes and gigabytes of media that I stole from you is good enough to tide me over for the rest of my life. You could cut of my internet connection tomorrow and you'll still never see a fucking dime from me. You already lost. Fuck you.

    Why should I pay for your health care? I don't have kids.
    Why should I pay for your education? I have Wikipedia.
    Why should I pay for your OS? I have Linux.

    In short, the people arguing that everyone should buy intellectual property are the worst kind of socialists in wolves clothing.

    They do, but terrorist attacks are not disclosed to protect the privacy of those involved. ~

    What do you expect, Norway is run by the Norse. The Norse used to be called the Vikings. The Vikings were basically land pirates, coming ashore to pillage, plunder and raze as opposed to capturing ships and booty on the high seas.
