The Pirate Bay is enemy #1 for digital piracy foes
- arvie_angeles 15y agoThanks for sharing this!
- hdesuyo 15y agoNo wonder why they are not subject to lawsuits because they are operating in a different country (Sweden). So U.S. needs to figure it out how to stop "the pirate bay" with their operation.
- daintynews 15y agoBut the thing is, even if pirate bay stops operating, there are still other sites like btjunkie.org and the like. Also, with sites like tumblr where a lot of artists blog and share using the reblog button, it's almost impossible to put it to a stop. I also don't think Hollywood artists mind as the like of Diana Agron and Kevin Mchale even reblog the very same videos that FOX produced.

- TyroneP 15y agoLooks like this is the next target of anti-piracy groups after the shutting down of megaupload.
- daintynews 15y agoAfter this, I think btjunkie would be next. btjunkie.org is the closest one to pirate bay in terms of the number of movies and songs in their data base
- sp332 15y agoIsn't that... odd, considering they don't host copyrighted content? They don't even run a tracker anymore.
- jamii 15y agoI imagine it has more to do with their public defiance and PR ability. The MPAA and RIAA want to frame the debate in their own terms. The Pirate Bay and the political organizations they inspired are a threat to that.
- jopt 15y agoAbsolutely agree. This comment may make it sound like the Pirate Bay inspired the Pirate Party. The reality was a little more complicated, given that it involved a third entity, the Swedish "Piratbyrån" think tank. I just thought I should point that out so as not to be reductive.
- edconda 15y agogreat!
- mitchie_luna 15y agoI know there are lot of users who will be sad about this anti-piracy campaign...even me, I have tried to use the torrents especially for those licensed software that cannot be download for free.
