		<description><![CDATA[The founder of the Pirate Bay have been sentenced to one year in jail, but is it enough?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may have already heard, the founders of the notorious torrent tracker &#8216;The Pirate Bay&#8217; are heading for a nice comfy jail cell, not to mention receiving huge fines, after <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-trial-the-verdict-090417/" target="_blank">losing a massive court case in Sweden</a> in which they are going to appeal but will probably lose as well.</p>
<div id="attachment_24" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://probablysucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/piratebay438_279914w.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-24" title="piratebay438_279914w" src="http://probablysucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/piratebay438_279914w-300x200.jpg" alt="piratebay438_279914w" width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">You&#39;re going to miss the Internet boys.</p></div>
<p>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&#8217;t even a good resource anyway. Everyone leeches, nobody shares, that&#8217;s the problem with public trackers, people have no reason or obligation to seed like private tracker members do.</p>
<p>Sure places like the Pirate Bay stick it to the man and allow anyone from the public to download movie&#8217;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&#8217;t have advertisements, they would probably have gotten off lightly and not did any jail time at all.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t bring up the Google argument again, because Google doesn&#8217;t go boasting about it&#8217;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&#8217;t see Google with a link on it&#8217;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&#8217;t make it known though, do they?</p>
<p>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&#8217;t see the correlation between the Pirate Bay and all other websites both public and private.</p>
<p>Think to yourselves&#8230; Do you really care that the founders are going to jail, or what will happen to you and your so called freedom which doesn&#8217;t actually exist?</p>
<p>The Pirate Bay owners don&#8217;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.</p>
