Just because a lot of people do it doesn't make it legal, moral or right.
Sometimes I say "we should have a law against eating." Then people yell at me, after all, EVERYONE eats. But I always tell them, "[insert your phrase here]"
In essence, you've answered your own question. Different people believe in different rights and morals. In fact, as many posters have mentioned, TPB isn't even illegal in Sweden. So, if someone supports the PirateBay because it is in fact legal, AND he/she believes it is moral and right, then your judgment holds no value insofar as you (according to that person) is legally and morally WRONG.
Ah, how ironic when one bite oneself in the behind, eh?
What you're describing sounds like PeerCast.

I've tried it with some radio stations.. connectivity rate seems to suffer, but otherwise, there aren't any issues with quality (but I only used for radio, not video)
First of all, it's not "depression", it's a MODEL for depression. The reason is a good model is not just on a behavioural, mammals with "depression" exhibit the same patterns of serotonergic activity (serotonin, remember learning that in highschool? Did you even go?) as humans (that's why anti-depressants work between-species). See, shocking as this may seem to you, behaviours reflect physical and neurochemical processes in the brain (which themselves are influenced by experience & genetics). Behavioural tests are just a way to get at those processes.
Secondly, here's a scenario for you: You shoot a dog in the head with a loaded handgun. The dog falls over and stops moving, with red liquidy stuff coming out of the point of impact.
Hypotheses:
A) You just killed the dog and its head is bleeding.
B) This particular breed of dog has an innate ability to absorb bullets into the body, but it causes it great pain. This particular breed of dog also happens to have an IQ of 120, and it knows if it pretends to be dead, you'll leave it alone. Oh and it can also release a liquid that looks like blood from secretory glands in its face.
Now, which is it going to be? Ever heard of Morgan's Cannon? How about Occam's Razor? Hamsters do not have rationale, they don't even have limited consciousness and they're worse at learning than rats.
You don't have a clue what you're talking about. Seriously.
