The Pirate Bay Is 10 Years Old: 'We Really Didn't Think We'd Make It This Far'

An anonymous reader writes "The Pirate Bay, arguably the most resilient file sharing website, was first founded on August 9, 2003, although it didn't launch until September 15, 2003. Nevertheless, the group considers the former date to be its start, so today The Pirate Bay is 10 years old. From their blog: 'We really didn't think we'd make it this far. Not because of cops, mafiaa or corrupt politicians. But because we thought that we'd eventually be to old for this shit. But hey, running this ship makes us feel young.'"

Re:Yeah, it's those politicians who are corrupt

Seriously, if you hear someone say, "My logic is based on reality," you're almost always hearing someone who does not have much of a grasp on either.

Your ad hominem attack proves that you are inept at the art of argument.

The fact remains that people cannot survive in the western world
without some source of income, and the fantasy that artists should
be deprived of the ability to make a living because some twerps
like you want music or books for free is bullshit.
