As you may have already heard, the founders of the notorious torrent tracker ‘The Pirate Bay’ are heading for a nice comfy jail cell, not to mention receiving huge fines, after losing a massive court case in Sweden in which they are going to appeal but will probably lose as well.
You're going to miss the Internet boys.
The Pirate Bay founders are regarded as file-sharing heroes even though file-sharing was around way before TPB was, so how does that work out? I mean, the Pirate Bay wasn’t even a good resource anyway. Everyone leeches, nobody shares, that’s the problem with public trackers, people have no reason or obligation to seed like private tracker members do.
Sure places like the Pirate Bay stick it to the man and allow anyone from the public to download movie’s, games, applications and music until your hard-drive explodes. But are people really that stupid to think that such a commercialised and advertised website would go undetected and last forever? They brought this attention upon themselves. If they didn’t have advertisements, they would probably have gotten off lightly and not did any jail time at all.
Don’t bring up the Google argument again, because Google doesn’t go boasting about it’s search engine index containing games, software, music and more. Websites like the Pirate Bay openly admit on their sites that they index this stuff. You don’t see Google with a link on it’s front page saying: Want to download music, games and software? Search Google. Of course Google know that you can find pirated shit on their search engine, they don’t make it known though, do they?
So the question is: Do you actually care that the Pirate Bay founders are going to jail and lost the massive court case? And how does the Pirate Bay losing this case harm file-sharing? I don’t see the correlation between the Pirate Bay and all other websites both public and private.
Think to yourselves… Do you really care that the founders are going to jail, or what will happen to you and your so called freedom which doesn’t actually exist?
The Pirate Bay owners don’t care about you or any of the other sites visitors. All they care about is money and fame from bringing negative attention towards themselves and inevitably causing their own demise.
