Pirate Bay – Anti-piracy campaign?
,----[ Quote ]
| I have written an email to Mr Anderson and his campaign which, whilst of good
| intention and noble cause, to me hints on previous “attempts” to tackle TPB
| (by others) which IMO ended in tears and comments making them look a little
| silly. I would ask him to consider that the people who run these BT
| trackers are actually very knowledgeable and certainly know their subjects
| inside out. I would ask him to “Cave quid dicis, quando, et cui” since a
| badly thought-out attempt will do more harm than good and in my opinion the
| coverage the TPB has had in recent dramas only exposes more new users to
| Bittorrent and in particular TPB. I base this opinion on the various forums
| and news groups that I see which have users comenting about the press
| coverage and then asking what TBP and bittorrent is.

Has The Pirate Bay Lost Its Appeal... Or Should We Not Trust The NY Times?
,----[ Quote ]
| Someone just alerted me to a NY Times story claiming that the guys behind The
| Pirate Bay have lost their appeal of the verdict that found them guilty. That
| would be big news (and it may very well happen). However, I can't find
| anything else to support it. The NY Times credits the Hollywood Reporter,
| whose only recent article I can find on the subject merely claims that the
| TPB guys failed to get the case thrown out. But digging deeper, the only
| information I can find is that the District Court, which made the original
| ruling has told the Appeals Court that there was no bias.

What do the EU results and Pirate Party mean for digital rights?
,----[ Quote ]
| Stand back from the media frenzy concentrating on Labour’s woes for a moment,
| and ask yourself what these elections mean for digital rights.
|
| Several parties that broadly supported digital rights concerns did well in
| this election, including, in the UK, UKIP and the Greens. The Liberal
| Democrats also had a fair showing.

The Pirate Party
,----[ Quote ]
| The Pirate Party has a constructive and reasoned proposal for an alternative
| to pharmaceutical patents. It would not only solve these problems, but also
| give more money to pharmaceutical research, while still cutting public
| spending on medicines in half. This is something we would like to discuss on
| a European level.
|
| Patents in other areas range from the morally repulsive (like patents on
| living organisms) through the seriously harmful (patents on software and
| business methods) to the merely pointless (patents in the mature
| manufacturing industries).
|
| Europe has all to gain and nothing to lose by abolishing patents outright. If
| we lead, the rest of the world will eventually follow.
