Did prison work? I mean, will he go out and think "piracy is bad!"? If not, then what was the point?

- NoMoreNicksLeft 12y agoThe more plausible response is: "He went to jail for piracy? I better be more careful!"
- neverminder 12y agoThe point is to make an example, so that the next guy would think twice before becoming a nuisance to the powers that be.
- contingencies 12y agoWhich has totally failed, because the site is still up, youth perspectives against copyright law are at all time highs, the movement is expanding to physical fabrication, and in Europe, Australia and New Zealand we even have growing political outreach (Pirate Party, Wikileaks Party, etc.).
- frou_dh 12y agoDid you read TFA? It said he's not interested in piracy and TPB servers should have been set on fire years ago as far as he was concerned.
- towelguy 12y agoHe's not interested in TPB, but what about his thoughts on piracy? > “People ask if I would have done anything different if I could. The answer is no. This has been nothing more than five months of wasted time.” Prison is supposed to be a place of rehabilitation. If there's no rehabilitation, there's no point to it.
- frou_dh 12y agoHe doesn't seem the type that would say on record "yes master, I'll be a good boy now" if that's what you're looking for.
- 6t6t6 12y agoMaybe he realized that the world is controlled by just a few wealthy people and that there's not much he can do to rise up against that.
