ThePirateBay.org Raided - Servers Seized

50 police officers participated in a large coordinated raid against file-sharers at a dozen locations across the country. Three people have been taken in for questioning suspected of illegal file-sharing.
"The three have clear connections to the file-sharing network The Pirate Bay", says the police spokesman.
Several servers seized. The three suspects are aged 22, 24 and 28. Both private homes and businesses have been searched to secure evidence.
They are suspected of copyright violations or as being accessories to such crimes.

wow.. I felt a disturbance in the force yesterday. Silly Pinkos thinking theyre doing a good thing. guess theyre protecting artists? Isnt art meant to be shared with the world. I mean the copys are nothing more than prints, not nearly as good as the real product. If anything I think letting your stuff get copied gives you more ear, or eye exposure, and people that liked what they saw, or heard will wind up at a store, and buy your stuff at some point. Imagine if someone owned the spores, or seeds and sued everyone for making prints, or growing seed stock.

Why must everyone who wants to break to the law try and justify their actions by some means of rationalizing what they think the producer of said works should feel like?
The fact is that had they intended it to be public domain they would have declared it that way.
This is not to say current law shouldn't be debated. Certain aspects deserve attention - specifically copyright expirations that are extended through various loopholes. I'm just tired of listening to every person who wants to steal content rationalize their way to morality by envisioning themselves as some sort of information missionary. Sometimes with a Robin Hood complex.

I download a movie. I watch a bit of it, then go to the theater because I decide the movie is worth watching (despite the shitty trailer)
I pay for that movie, then delete the movie from my computer.
Am I (still) a criminal?
Same situation; now this time I don't even see the movie. Am I still a criminal? Cause this was the situation I got into when I downloaded Munich... The movie sucks so bad I stopped watching it after 15 minutes and deleted it. 4 or 5 days later I got an email from my ISP about how NBC alleges I was sharing their movie. I wrote to NBC directly and told them I thought the movie stunk and wouldn't be renting it, and they could rest assured I wouldn't dare share such a steaming pile.
when everybody breaks a law, the law needs to be reformed, not the other way around.

There is an old story from the early days of computing by the guys at MIT. This is back in the days of early computers, when paper tape was used to hold programs. Some company had written a BASIC (computer language) interpreter and were selling it for several thousand dollars. Very expensive back then. The program was big, slow, and buggy. Because of the ease of copying paper tape, and the price of the software, people started to steal it rather than buy it.
Some students at MIT got fed up with the expensive program always crashing and running so slow, so they wrote their own. The new version was small, fast, and free. The students were giving it away. To their amazement, people started to send them money. They would get $20 here, $50 there, along with a thank you note.
The guys at MIT realized that people don't mind paying for software, as long as the software is good and reasonable in price. However, when the software becomes too expensive, people will steal it instead. The same can be said for the recording industry. If the recording industry would charge a reasonable fee for their product, the amount of theft would be much, much less. When people feel like they are being financially raped, they can more easily justify their illegal actions.

I steal music because of all the money I wasted through the years buying the same cassette tape or CD over and over again when it broke. When music became downloadable I was already plenty pissed off at the music industry.
At least 55% of my music I've owned before on cassette or CD at some point in the past.
Other than that, I'm just a looter in New Orleans it seems, but maybe it's just my turn to do the fuckin' shit over. Plus the money I lost before was in 1980's and early 1990's dollars, so actually they owe me some interest.
Karma for the music industry, lol

Any musician or lack of can sound good on a cd but a live show in person is invaluble and can never be duplicated. Anyone who can entertain a stadium of 50,000 thousand people and have them talking about it for years on out deserves every cent that is due to them.
Therfore if I download some songs on the internet and like them and go to a concert not only has that musician/musicians earn however many dollers they get of my ticket they have a FAN OF THERE ART. A cd cost 18 bucks when it first comes out in most intences. A concert ticket generally cost 20 to up and around 200 bucks for the common folk. then with cds they get cut down by so many differant orginizations, producers, promoters, ect.......
With a concert the artist receives much more of the cut then they do off of a cd much less a couple tracks that some interested potintionl admirer of there work downloads they may lose money but they gain karma, enthusiest, and most of all people that have the same ways of seeing things. Unless of course they are no brained told what to do and say all the time and have no point of view on anything much less there music.
