Posted by timothy on from the he-typed-like-a-one-armed-man dept.

Hammeh writes BBC news reports that Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Warg has been found guilty of hacking into computers and illegally downloading files in Denmark. Found guilty of breaching security to access computers owned by technology giant CSC to steal police and social security files, Mr Warg faces a sentence of up to six years behind bars. Mr Warg argued that although the computer used to commit the offence was owned by him, the hacks were carried out by another individual who he declined to name.

    is served!

    yeah, yeah it's fun to steal online content created by hollywood, but it is immoral and illegal no matter how much you whiny little shits rationalize it.

    Pout as much as you want. If I make content with my money you have absolutely no right whatsoever to watch it without paying me the price I ask. If you disagree, well then fuck you very much. I'll just come and take YOUR work product for free or literally take food off your table and eat it.

      Right. Not gaining is not the same as losing.
