Police Planning New Raid On The Pirate Bay
An anonymous reader writes "TorrentFreak reports that Swedish authorities are gearing up for another raid on the servers of The Pirate Bay. The site was raided once before, in 2006, and the evidence gathered at that time was sufficient to convict its founders. 'The authorities have obtained warrants to snoop around in sensitive places and two known anti-piracy prosecutors, Frederick Ingblad and Henrik Rasmusson, are said to be involved. Employing a little psychological warfare aimed at putting the investigators off-balance, the Pirate Bay team has chosen to make the news public to make the authorities aware that they are not the only ones being watched.'"
Actually you use that time to find out how to emigrate to a country that has reaj jobs. Because here in the USA, there are no jobs that pay enough to afford paying for software, music, movies, etc...
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
It's getting to the point where "respect for the law" is the exclusive domain of those who are ruled and not at all for the rulers.
I'm an old and cranky man. but I see no country that exhibits freedom the way we all THOUGHT it would be.
lies and lies. freedom is a thing that exists for the rich and powerful.
the sooner we all wake up and see the evil in ALL our governments, the sooner we'll be able to fix this world wide problem.
its not US, its not england, its not sweden, its not australia. its EVERY place that has humans running things. humans make a nice cozy place for themselves and ensure that things are good for the ruling class and less good for those who are not part of this.
why is this ever thought of as nationalistic? again, every country is run by people and people have flaws in their nature that lets 'power corrupt'. we've known this forever, haven't we?
stop believing the propaganda that your country is somehow more free or just than some other. its not true. you only think its true due to brainwashing and the 'us vs them' mentality that countries LOVE to instill in its people.
respect for law means nothing. if you have the money, you can make laws or side-step them. IN EVERY COUNTRY.

For the software music and movies... Do you really need those? They sound like frivolousness entertainment to me.
Do you really need to post here?
Entertainment made my people who work to get paid for their effort. If you cannot afford it... Go without.
Why? Absolutely no one benefits from you going without instead of downloading.
They monitor the Piracy off their stuff, if they find that it is heavily pirated then they know people like the product, and they find value with it...
You are using Slashdot, so you clearly find value in it. But would you pay $150/month to use Slashdot? If not, why not?
Finding value does NOT mean that 1) it's worth to the person whatever the seller is asking for it, 2) the person can afford it.
