"That talk about racial equality is a nice way of saying you just want a better seat on the bus." -- talking heads, 1955.
I don't think you get it. The question is whether copyright is morally right. Rosa Parks sat on the back of the bus. The Pirate bay moves their servers into parliament. People have always protested laws they feel are unjust and you clearly you don't seem to realize that. These guys have suffered considerable persecution for what they are doing so to frame it like "well they just want free copies of Toy Story 3" is bullshit.
- hugh3 16y agoI'm really not sure how the analogy works. Rosa Parks was engaging in civil disobedience, and the point of civil disobedience is that you demonstrate the unjustness of a law by openly breaking it and accepting your punishment. The unjustness of the punishment you receive will raise attention about the unjustness of the law. Whatever the Pirate Party is engaging in, it's the complete opposite of civil disobedience, since they're trying to avoid getting punished for breaking the law.
