The RIAA and the movie industry has been trying to scare ppl into giving them money ever since silent films. Remember how they got rich making movies and paying the actors and actresses peanuts, until some the the stars got together and opened their own studio. It's just the same old BS another day, another dollar. In the end they will lose and just re-invent themselves again to get money out of our pockets until someone else comes along and bets them at their game. Then they'll re-invent themselves again and again, etc. It's just one endless game of the rich not being happy of being rich enough and squeezing the poor and downtrodden for every last penny.

Great movie to check out- "This Film is Not Yet Rated". Basically exposes what a sham the whole movie rating system is. From lying about who actually rates the movies to bias against sex and gays.

They say they arent affiliated with the pirate bay....but isnt that the same country the pirate bay guys are from?
either way, thats a good sign. the free-for-all we have now may not be the fairest way, but neither is just imposing more restrictions and trying to ignore that possibilities of the technology that is out there.

Makes sense that the Swedes and MPAA who are made up of old 60's hippies and Euro Trash Leftists are now "The Man" and go after anyone who stands up to them. It's not our fault that Hollywood makes shitty movies, TV shows and records that no one wants to pay for.
Patriotism is as fierce as a fever, pitiless as the grave, blind as a stone, and irrational as a headless hen.

Your shit's getting old - leftist this and that - you're just a consumer of neocon bullshit.
And that's coming from someone older smarter, and more informed. I've been in the game a hell of a lot longer than you. And you are the problem. period.
Eff off.

I have nothing else to add, but seeing Post's avy, and reading above, really captured Silent Bob perfectly IMO.

i am sure most of you heard yesterday TPB was shut down only to re-open today with this message:
As expected, The Pirate Bay returns
The Pirate Bay, the highly controversial BitTorrent search engine, re-emerged Tuesday in typically defiant fashion after Hollywood film studios helped trigger a day-long blackout of the site.
The Web site, which is targeted for elimination by content owners nearly the world over, presumably has found a new bandwidth provider. The service, which has helped millions of people locate and eventually download scores of pirated films, had been temporarily subdued Monday after German authorities ordered its then-Internet host to cease providing Web access to the site.
On Tuesday morning, the Pirate Bay posted a photo of a cat and a note--in a sort of a lolcats patois--to those who pursue a strategy of taking down the site: "Ims ins yours skynets, lollings aways ats yours futile attempts ats controllings ours Internets."
The cat photo is appropriate because The Pirate Bay has played a cat-and-mouse game with content providers for years. This is at least the third time a bandwidth provider was forced to take down the site and the third time the site has returned. One has to question whether the studios are actually playing into the the hands of The Pirate Bay operators with these attempts to knock out the site. Every time they do, The Pirate Bay rises again, and to the file-sharing community these comebacks boost the site operators' reputation as unconquerable heroes.
Later this year, Swedish courts are expected to rule on an appeal made by the four founders of The Pirate Bay. The four were found guilty of copyright violations last year, sentenced to a year in jail, and ordered to pay the equivalent of $3 million.
