how stupid do you have to be to post that in a thread where an artist is legitimately using that site to promote themselves.


as to being convicted

they were convicted of assisting copyright infringement when the police admitted they didn't know if the pirate bay trackers were involved because they left DHT turned on.

They got rail roaded once.


They have no totally disabled the tracker completely. So if they turn off DHT (limit themselves to only transactions the pirate bay is involved in) now no copyright infringement will happen at all.
