US Lawyers Target Swedish Pirate, and His Unicorn
Chaonici writes "When a Swedish citizen identified as Ryan heard about US movie studio Liberty Media's plan to get copyright infringers to confess and voluntarily pay up, he couldn't stop himself from sending them a
satirical email promising that he will pay 'from the pot of gold I got at the leprechaun at the end of the rainbow', regardless of scathing criticism of the studio from his unicorn. However, despite his location, the jesting nature of the email, and his insistence that he has never downloaded anything for which the studio is suing, Liberty Media's lawyers have taken the 'confession' seriously, and have issued a subpoena to Google for personal information related to Ryan's Gmail account. In a phone call, the legal team affirmed their determination to 'hunt him down, all the way to Sweden if need be.'"
oh and you forgot the fact that they are a huge pro-piracy site that enables millions of people world wide to pirate millions of piece of copyrighted work, whilst pocketing a fortune in ad revenue didn't you?
And like most pro-piratebay nutjobs, you conveniently forget that the whole thing is bankrolled by the right wing fascist multi-millionaire criminal carl lundstrom, the 'untrendy' one they don't put on their t shirts.
The level of ass-kissing for swedish fascist millionaires on here is truly sad, but not surprising given most fo you are so fucking thick you reckon linux is usable.
No one stole anything through pirate bay, they may have committed copyright infringement, but that is an entirely different thing.
Gosh, thanks for that insight. It only comes up every single fucking time there's an article involving copyright.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
