        then all they have to say is "if you were to extend edonkey ruling to a torrent you would have to make the act of shredding copyright material the criminal act of making it available too ... because the shreding example is an order of magnitude worse since all the non working pieces are stored in the same container."


        As I said to begin with; you idiots can try and spin it as much as you like. Bottom line is still - and will always be - TBP is making money facilitating the distribution of content without the right to do so. And that is why they will go down

                Are you so naive you think they let him keep the money in his account, and any other object of value they could prove he had bought with the money from selling bannerspaces on the 3 sites he had?

                        it have EVERYTHING to do with your comment and the way people approach this issue.

                        You feel you are entiteled to comment on someone who work hard on stopping a service that undermines the industry. First of all, I am pretty sure you dont know anything about the person you comment on, and then to top it off you think this is just some "see my sig" topic, and that the problem will go away.

                        Maybe it time for you to wake the fuck up

                                        and the universal said the same thing about sony when they invented the vcr

                                        same with the RIAA and the diamond rio

                                        guess what the courts untimately ruled in favor of the "pirates" and we all benefits because of it.

                                            nope not just mine, every single copyright holder which setup a private tracker so their customer can get the full benefit of a torrent based backup from them.

                                            those that don't provide for the fair use rights of their customers are forced to deal with the consequences of their stuff on a public tracker (the ONLY way to take advantage of torrent based backup).

                                                "The Swedish court seems to have recognized that a torrent search engine, which doesn’t store actual copyrighted files, cannot be guilty of copyright infringement. This is already a huge victory for The Pirate Bay, even if they lose on other charges - which now seems unlikely. What seemed to be a long legal battle might turn into a short (and sweet, for The Pirate Bay) affair."

                                                    So how about sites like Google? Will they also filter censor illegal stuff soon?
                                                    Yes, removeyourcontent.com dmca's google and gets links to our stuff off the search engines all the time.

                                                            I hope you idiots know that if TPB goes down and looses this case. That means google is an illegal site as well. Among much of the rest of the internet.

                                                            This case isn't about copyrights and people stealing shit. This is FAR greater than that. All you naive tools who think this is about torrents need to open your eyes. If you want people to stop stealing music and movies and other data. Then do something about it.

                                                            Changing the interpretation of law to say what TPB does is illegal is so wrong it's just insane.

                                                            Think about it, changing the interpretation of the law like that. Could make ISPs responsible for someone using their connection to download copyrighted material.

                                                            Instead of going after the people breaking the law, you're changing the interpretation of law to be able to go after any tool a criminal uses.

                                                            What's next. Are we going to charge the companies that make slim jims with grand theft auto because car thieves use their tool to steal cars?

                                                            Are we going to charge Glock with murder because people have used their guns to commit murder?

                                                            Are we going to charge the company who made the baseball with the charge of destruction of private property because some kids threw it through a window?



                                                            LONG LIVE TPB!

Conspiracy is a crime .. they have built a site which they know full well allows people to download and share stolen/cracked software and content. therefore they are in "conspiracy" to commit theft .... stick a fork in it .. as far as I can see it should be a done deal..

                                                                    2. there is no criminal act of conspiracy to commit conspiracy to commit theft.

                                                                        First you have to prove the creators of TPB meant their trackers to be used for theft. Which isn't as easy as you might think it is. Torrents aren't inherently "bad", in fact torrent technology is in fact a huge leap forward, and it's whole idea is good.

                                                                        Secondly, it's not theft. It's copyright infringement.

                                                                        Lastly. You have to tie the owners of the website with the intent of it's users. Which has been tried hundreds of time in our history. And historically speaking, what a user does on a website does not hold the owners responsible.

                                                                                Really, the judge doesn't know what the hell a torrent is. And now neither does the prosecutor. The only people who know what they are doing are the people who are on trial. So whatever the pirate bay is going to say, the judge will believe them. It's not like there is going to be anybody there capable of disputing anything that they say.

                                                                                I think that they can use a good argument - their service is legal. They distribute torrents that don't contain copyrighted materials. They aren't checking the content of the torrents. And they are not the ones uploading the torrents. Their users are uploading torrents, and some of those torrents have legal content in them. So the pirate bay is only providing a service.

                                                                                                if they made the arguement on a technical bases that there is no infringing for seeding (because the seeder is never giving away a working copy of the file) and there is no contributory infringment if there is no infringement in the first place, then that would apply to every countries laws including the US.

                                                                                                Fundamental arguements like only leachers are criminally liable and only when they did not buy a right to the content (recovery rights). Would apply to every country that has fair use doctrine. Which of course is every country.

                                                                                                Really, the judge doesn't know what the hell a torrent is. And now neither does the prosecutor. The only people who know what they are doing are the people who are on trial. So whatever the pirate bay is going to say, the judge will believe them. It's not like there is going to be anybody there capable of disputing anything that they say.

                                                                                                I think that they can use a good argument - their service is legal. They distribute torrents that don't contain copyrighted materials. They aren't checking the content of the torrents. And they are not the ones uploading the torrents. Their users are uploading torrents, and some of those torrents have legal content in them. So the pirate bay is only providing a service.
                                                                                                add the fact that the prosecution had already published a paper saying that they don't that the pirate bays actions were legal, and this case is going forward because of pressure from US lobby groups

My post has nothing to do with you and you're not worth bothering to reply to. In fact I should not even bother replying to you now. You are very stupid if you think the future is in giving everything away to have it paid by advertising. Do you think the future is going to see us all make more money by giving it all away and letting ads to AFF fund it? When I see Coca Cola offer to advertise on my site I will change my mind.

                                                                                                                    Really, the judge doesn't know what the hell a torrent is. And now neither does the prosecutor. The only people who know what they are doing are the people who are on trial. So whatever the pirate bay is going to say, the judge will believe them. It's not like there is going to be anybody there capable of disputing anything that they say.

                                                                                                                    I think that they can use a good argument - their service is legal. They distribute torrents that don't contain copyrighted materials. They aren't checking the content of the torrents. And they are not the ones uploading the torrents. Their users are uploading torrents, and some of those torrents have legal content in them. So the pirate bay is only providing a service.
                                                                                                                    Is it necessary for the judge to know what a Torrent is?

                                                                                                                    If you stand on a street corner with a sign that points to an illegal sale or event are you within the law? Or are you aiding and abetting or even guilty of conspiracy?

                                                                                                                    I don't understand Swedish law and I doubt if anyone here does, but building a business that is 90% reliant on theft has to be illegal or has to be made illegal. Yes present laws are really ineffectual and need changing. But maybe it would not be so hard.

                                                                                                                                This case isn't about copyrights and people stealing shit. This is FAR greater than that. All you naive tools who think this is about torrents need to open your eyes. If you want people to stop stealing music and movies and other data. Then do something about it.

                                                                                                                                Changing the interpretation of law to say what TPB does is illegal is so wrong it's just insane.

                                                                                                                                Think about it, changing the interpretation of the law like that. Could make ISPs responsible for someone using their connection to download copyrighted material.

                                                                                                                                Instead of going after the people breaking the law, you're changing the interpretation of law to be able to go after any tool a criminal uses.

                                                                                                                                What's next. Are we going to charge the companies that make slim jims with grand theft auto because car thieves use their tool to steal cars?

                                                                                                                                Are we going to charge Glock with murder because people have used their guns to commit murder?

                                                                                                                                Are we going to charge the company who made the baseball with the charge of destruction of private property because some kids threw it through a window?

TPB will NOT take your stuff down if you DMCA them. Matter of fact they make smart ass remarks about how they are never going to take down anything ever. I'm all for freedom...but you aren't even close to understanding the frustration of watching all of your work put out for free. And then having to jump through hoops to get it taken down...and then there's TPB who will NOT take it down no matter what you do. Fuck them. Because that's exactly what they are saying to us, and laughing about it.

A torrent is a torrent. It's not a novel, a guide, a flyer, a pamphlet, oral instructions or an address book. It's a torrent.

Likewise, you can't regulate the internet by treating it like a library made out of pipelines.

My post has nothing to do with you and you're not worth bothering to reply to. In fact I should not even bother replying to you now. You are very stupid if you think the future is in giving everything away to have it paid by advertising. Do you think the future is going to see us all make more money by giving it all away and letting ads to AFF fund it? When I see Coca Cola offer to advertise on my site I will change my mind.

ERGO my stuff does not appear on the public tracker, because my customer will not put it there.

No. what is your point. Fair Use business have a right to exist, they are defined legally by the very act that grants you your exclusive rights.

TPB will NOT take your stuff down if you DMCA them. Matter of fact they make smart ass remarks about how they are never going to take down anything ever. I'm all for freedom...but you aren't even close to understanding the frustration of watching all of your work put out for free. And then having to jump through hoops to get it taken down...and then there's TPB who will NOT take it down no matter what you do. Fuck them. Because that's exactly what they are saying to us, and laughing about it.

They are not stupid. Just because they don't respect lawyers who make the insanely stupid arguement that "you have to obey US laws because the US is so great" doesn't make them illegal sites.

If they didn't new laws will be made and sites like google will not be able to spider the Internet because it would be "stealing".

That means google is an illegal site as well. Among much of the rest of the internet.

                                                                                                                                                        This case isn't about copyrights and people stealing shit. This is FAR greater than that. All you naive tools who think this is about torrents need to open your eyes. If you want people to stop stealing music and movies and other data. Then do something about it.

                                                                                                                                                        Changing the interpretation of law to say what TPB does is illegal is so wrong it's just insane.

Could make ISPs responsible for someone using their connection to download copyrighted material.

                                                                                                                                                        Instead of going after the people breaking the law, you're changing the interpretation of law to be able to go after any tool a criminal uses.

                                                                                                                                                            people often refer to pirates to describe people who steal shit, unless you are a moron and believe thats good.


                                                                                                                                                            So what you are saying is merely by calling them pirates , they are now heroes who are doing legal things because someone once called vcr users "pirates" and we all know vcr's r cool so thus killing and robbing people must be cool 2. So now anyone who is called a pirate is a hero despite what they are doing because often in history people who were called pirates were then called heroes ( despite the many pirates who just killed people and stole their shit )


                                                                                                                                                            Thats like saying its ok to kill someone because once there was a guy who killed someone and he wasnt charged. look heres proof murder is legal

Just pointing out that potter was trying to compare TBP to a site like Google. Or any of the other torrents. The difference between them is that TBP does not honor DMCA for the reason you gave. I fucking can't stand begging motherfuckers to take my shit down already...but TBP laughs in our faces and won't. That was my point. To say that TBP getting drilled would be a shot at freedom just isn't true. Plenty of torrent sites out there do abide by DMCA. It still sucks for content producers to have to search thousands of sites for their stuff, but at least it's something. TBP doesn't give a shit, and laughs at people trying to make a living. Fuck them.

They are not stupid. Just because they don't respect lawyers who make the insanely stupid arguement that "you have to obey US laws because the US is so great" doesn't make them illegal sites.

                                                                                                                                                                            It only makes them illegal if they operated in the US (which they do not).

What was it they posted in that section where they laugh at companies, lawyers, and law? Something like: "never took one down and never will"

                                                                                                                                                                            Gideon, please stop....I'm laughing so hard my eyes are tearing up. Those guys don't care about any laws. Hell, come to think of it neither do I. I'll break any damn law I can get away with. I'll drive faster than the speed limit. I may even do an illegal substance now and again on a Friday night. And you think those guys sit around like some kind of Saints pondering the law and worrying about being law abiding citizens?

                                                                                                                                                                            Hell no! They are literally laughing at everybody while they cash those prepaid ad spot checks at the bank. Of course a communist like you would never understand that this is nothing more than greed and capitalism at it's finest. As much as I want to see them stop stealing...I will grudgingly admit that they found a way to make money for a short time.

                                                                                                                                                                            Not as much as some of the guys I know in this biz who figured out little loopholes to make money. But still a lot. Their time is limited to continue business as is though. So that's why I'm laughing about them having to pay lawyers and waste their time with court. It's taking away money that they are going to wish they had back when they are forced to start taking down almost all those torrents. And you just know that when Swedish law changes to reflect modern times...EVERYBODY is going to demand their shit come down because of them acting like assholes to the industry for the last couple of years.

                                                                                                                                                                            Right now, the judge there can only interpret the law. When that law changes, he will interpret it to reflect the new law. And there are companies and legal teams just circling those guys licking their chops and waiting for that day.

                                                                                                                                                                            Guy is pretty smart though. When that time comes, if I were him I'd sell it to one of the big movie companies and get out.

TPB will NOT take your stuff down if you DMCA them. Matter of fact they make smart ass remarks about how they are never going to take down anything ever. I'm all for freedom...but you aren't even close to understanding the frustration of watching all of your work put out for free. And then having to jump through hoops to get it taken down...and then there's TPB who will NOT take it down no matter what you do. Fuck them. Because that's exactly what they are saying to us, and laughing about it.

                                                                                                                                                                                Edit: And no Google isn't an illegal site...they DO take down links to that shit when you DMCA them. TBP doesn't.
                                                                                                                                                                                You have it backwards. You didn't understand what I said at all. You obviously didn't grasp the point I made, or at least came to your own wrong conclusion of what it was. Removing or taking down content has nothing to do with what I said. As I said, what TPB is doing is not illegal in any way. Uhg.

                                                                                                                                                                                By the way, a DMCA is a US Copyright Law. Not a global law.

                                                                                                                                                                                Also, to really get down to it. If a user uploads a torrent of your website to TPB. TPB and that torrent is not illegal!!! I don't get how you guys don't understand this. Or how many times I have to say this, going after TPB is attacking the problem back ass wards. The people breaking the law are the ones who complete the entire file to their computer without the rights to the file. THAT is when the law is broken. How everyone does not seem to understand this is beyond me.

                                                                                                                                                                                It's like TBP is a guy standing on a street corner as someone put it earlier. With a sign that points out where people are trading files. Is that guy breaking the law? No. Are the people down street A trading legal file B breaking the law? No. Are the people down street C trading legal file D breaking the law? The ones taking the file without rights to it ARE. THOSE people specifically are the ones breaking the law.

                                                                                                                                                                                So when you stand here bitching about the guy on the corner. Do you realize how ignorant that makes you look?

                                                                                                                                                                                Then Gideon has even stated ways (easy SIMPLE ways) you can create a case against a public torrent of your files. Easy ways to attack that, if it's a problem to your business. But pssssh, no everyone still bitches about the guy standing on the corner.

What was it they posted in that section where they laugh at companies, lawyers, and law? Something like: "never took one down and never will"

                                                                                                                                                                                    TPB would have to take down a torrent that included their tracker, but they could list the torrent (which points to the other tracker) and still collect all the advertising on the page serving that torrent.

                                                                                                                                                                                    IF they ignored one of those request they could be prosecuted for copyright infringement under swedish law.

Those guys don't care about any laws. Hell, come to think of it neither do I. I'll break any damn law I can get away with. I'll drive faster than the speed limit. I may even do an illegal substance now and again on a Friday night. And you think those guys sit around like some kind of Saints pondering the law and worrying about being law abiding citizens?

                                                                                                                                                                                    Hell no! They are literally laughing at everybody while they cash those prepaid ad spot checks at the bank. Of course a communist like you would never understand that this is nothing more than greed and capitalism at it's finest. As much as I want to see them stop stealing...I will grudgingly admit that they found a way to make money for a short time.
                                                                                                                                                                                    your the one who wants to turn a government granted conditional monopoly into a government granted true monopoly and i am the communist.

                                                                                                                                                                                    Not as much as some of the guys I know in this biz who figured out little loopholes to make money. But still a lot. Their time is limited to continue business as is though. So that's why I'm laughing about them having to pay lawyers and waste their time with court. It's taking away money that they are going to wish they had back when they are forced to start taking down almost all those torrents. And you just know that when Swedish law changes to reflect modern times...EVERYBODY is going to demand their shit come down because of them acting like assholes to the industry for the last couple of years.

When that law changes, he will interpret it to reflect the new law. And there are companies and legal teams just circling those guys licking their chops and waiting for that day.

Which will not be able to taken away.

You didn't understand what I said at all. You obviously didn't grasp the point I made, or at least came to your own wrong conclusion of what it was. Removing or taking down content has nothing to do with what I said. As I said, what TPB is doing is not illegal in any way. Uhg.

                                                                                                                                                                                        By the way, a DMCA is a US Copyright Law. Not a global law.

                                                                                                                                                                                        Also, to really get down to it. If a user uploads a torrent of your website to TPB. TPB and that torrent is not illegal!!! I don't get how you guys don't understand this. Or how many times I have to say this, going after TPB is attacking the problem back ass wards. The people breaking the law are the ones who complete the entire file to their computer without the rights to the file. THAT is when the law is broken. How everyone does not seem to understand this is beyond me.

                                                                                                                                                                                        It's like TBP is a guy standing on a street corner as someone put it earlier. With a sign that points out where people are trading files. Is that guy breaking the law? No. Are the people down street A trading legal file B breaking the law? No. Are the people down street C trading legal file D breaking the law? The ones taking the file without rights to it ARE. THOSE people specifically are the ones breaking the law.

                                                                                                                                                                                        So when you stand here bitching about the guy on the corner. Do you realize how ignorant that makes you look?

                                                                                                                                                                                        Then Gideon has even stated ways (easy SIMPLE ways) you can create a case against a public torrent of your files. Easy ways to attack that, if it's a problem to your business. But pssssh, no everyone still bitches about the guy standing on the corner.

The pirate bay is doing nothing wrong by pointing out the swarm, only the guys abusing the swarm are guilty of a crime.

The pirate bay is doing nothing wrong by pointing out the swarm, only the guys abusing the swarm are guilty of a crime.
