Pirate Bay confident of trial win
,----[ Quote ]
| No copyright content is hosted on The Pirate Bay's web servers; instead the
| site hosts "torrent" links to TV, film and music files held on its users'
| computers.
|
| The file-sharing program BitTorrent, which is a legal piece of file-sharing
| software, uses the torrent links to manage the transfer of files online
| between those who have parts of the data and those who need parts of the
| data.

The Value of Sharing
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday I wrote about how the media industries abuse language in order to
| justify their broken business models; today I'd like to complement this by
| looking at their misuse of numbers.
|
| One of the weapons in the intellectual monopolists' armoury is citing the
| economic damage that sharing puportedly causes. What's remarkable is that the
| numbers usually quoted – around $250 billion – have been touted for decades,
| creating a kind of self-referential justification.

The Pirate Bay, Guilty Before Trial!
,----[ Quote ]
| The Pirate Bay recently featured in an exhibition about online crime, run by
| the Swedish police - even before their trial has begun. Pirate Bay’s Brokep
| has had enough of being the punch bag of the Swedish authorities: “It’s
| slander,” he says “Authorities are not allowed to engage in political
| opinionation.”
