There is a reason they did that.. It's fairly obvious the reason why. Although there will be negative consequences from using that name as well but using that name sends a message to the authorities and people around the world that they can't stop what is happening.

it's pretty obvi to people dpr is no more/ in prison whatever , so acting like dpr is sending out messages or has put things back up is bullshit and is clearly not him . people are smart enough to know it isn't him who set up silk road 2.0 and that he isn't the one posting in the new forum

Hey, after surfing the web for a bit it turns out Wired wrote an article about the take down of Silk Road, and published the article earlier this morning. Coincidence?

The original Dread Pirate Roberts is living like a king in Madagascar.

What are you even talking about?
I wasn't saying its the same person... I'm saying the "ideal" that DPR was trying to promote has been carried on by the new DPR using his name.

People who never watched The Princess Bride don't get it.

I've never watched it either, LOL. But if you read anything that the previous DPR said he was all about the ideals of being "DPR" and what the free market for drugs could do.. I mean put two and two together.
There are a number of benefits that come with taking the name.

If you've never watched it, you don't know the origin or meaning of the title "The Dread Pirate Roberts". I suggest your torrent and watch it immediately. Its a good movie besides.

That's not what I meant. I will watch it though for sure.
What I was saying can be used for tons of things, not exactly the "origin" or the meaning of the title.. I mean that could be important as well.
I was just saying that taking a name of someone that was crusading and trying to change the way the world operates (as opposed to drugs) and give more "freedom" to the people in that regard... Effectively sends a message to authorities and everyone else that hey... you caught the guy but you haven't stopped anything.. You just put a cork in it for a second until it bubbles over and explodes again.
That's all I was saying.
