I find a couple of things ridiculous about this whole thing.
1) The music industry refused to acknowledge the impact of iTMS instead pretending as if CD sales are the only thing making them money. I might be wrong, but isn't iTMS the number 1 seller now... ?
2) I have a deep, very deep problem with commenters who say stuff like "piracy for life" or "I'll keep pirating till I die". They're just confirming the views of the music labels.

I do agree to an extent that statements such as these may in some sense undermine The Pirate Bay's case. However, an argument could certainly be made that in the era of essentially free copying (i.e. almost no marginal cost) society is better served by a regime without copyright. I cannot look inside the commenter's head to see if he is making his statements on this basis, or simply likes to receive free digital information-- but in the limit it ends up being the same: such statements are ultimately an expression of the need for some type of copyright reform so that the laws can be more aligned to how people on the whole actually behave.
