I don't understand why there is so much controversy over this. I've been reading about the reasons TPB is a bastion of freedom for years and they read like a list of reasons its ok to cheat on taxes, or put recyclable materials in the compost bin. We all know its illegal in the US, we know TPB knows it, and instead of changing copyright laws, it is continually justified. It feels disingenuous.
I'm tired of the same conversation for the last 20 years.
- spraak 9y ago20 years seems like a huge exaggeration unless you're talking about something more than just TPB.
- redm 9y agoOn the Internet, the conversation about mainstream piracy goes all the way back to Napster (1999).
