The Pirate Bay Responds To Raid
An anonymous reader writes The Pirate Bay's crew have remained awfully quiet on the recent raid in public, but today Mr 10100100000 breaks the silence in order to get a message out to the world. In a nutshell, he says that they couldn't care less, are going to remain on hiatus, and a comeback is possible. In recent days mirrors of The Pirate Bay appeared online and many of these have now started to add new content as well. According to TPB this is a positive development, but people should be wary of scams. Mr 10100100000 says that they would open source the engine of the site, if the code "wouldn't be so s****y". In any case, they recommend people keeping the Kopimi spirit alive, as TPB is much more than some hardware stored in a dusty datacenter.
Putting it that way kinda makes them sound less like romantic swashbucklers and more like thieves, doesn't it?
Koans and fables for the software engineer
Next time there's a $100-plus-per-seat rock concert in your metro area, that didn't sell out, just walk in the gate and explain why you have a right to occupy one of the empty seats without paying. Remember to tell them that you plan to buy some overpriced concessions so you're actually helping out the band financially.
Some of these guards are kinda slow, you might have to explain it more than once.
