Music Industry Suits Could Bankrupt Pirate Party Members
An anonymous reader writes "Music industry group BPI has threatened legal action against six members of the UK Pirate Party, after the party refused to take its Pirate Bay proxy offline. BPI seems to want to hold the individual members of the party responsible for copyright infringements that may occur via the proxy, which puts them at risk of personal bankruptcy. Pirate Party leader Loz Kaye criticized the latest music industry threats and reiterated that blocking The Pirate Bay is a disproportionate measure."
BPI together with RIAA, MPAA, SIAE, SAGEM etc... are the scum of this earth.
Why oh why do people massacre kids insteads of these fucking cunts ? They'd do a service to humankind.
Maybe you shouldn't base your party around stealing other peoples products that they've invested millions in.
Either murder is wrong, or it isn't. The pirates in this article have called themselves "the Pirate Party," while engaging in contributory and vicarious copyright infringement to take the rights of creators away from them. They then they are complaining about first degree vs. second degree, when they shouldn't be engaged in criminal activity in the first place. The fact that there are degrees doesn't mean right vs. wrong doesn't exist, which is what the pirates want you to think, and is why they are trying to convert the issue into one of degrees when it's extremely clear they are in the wrong.
