It's a Pirate's life!

So...

The Pirate Bay has vowed to go underground due to the internet blocking threat that faces them and many other file sharing sites.
I can't say i'm surprised.

Basically the High court has ruled that they "Facilitate copyright infringement".

In true elite fashion they have spat in the face of this ruling and decided to fight the power! Well, Fuck it, i'm on board!

I don't know how many of you remember that last year there was a massive rant from the "Creative industries" about having ISPs here in the UK to block sites such as the Pirate Bay and Torrent Reactor etc.
Their motivation behind this was nothing more than a move to, obviously, stop people trading music, video and games for free.

Now, I support file sharing in all it's forms because of three simple factors:

With or without piracy video games, music and DVDs/Blu rays have pretty much been the same prices across the board meaning that it's blatant money grabbing due to the fact that they COULD be much cheaper.

Digital downloads are far too expensive in my book.

File sharing creates fan bases! Remember trading tapes when you were a kid? well our kids will share MP3s of their favourite bands and create fans!

DRM - DRM sucks, no doubt about that! I don't need to sit here and write about how blatantly fucked in the head DRM is.

Ok, that was 4 reasons..

Anyway, since 2003 the Pirate Bay has managed to stay alive despite being taken to court more times than a surgeon who likes to take extra organs from inside his patients to build lamps n shit.
It's no real shock to learn that they're not giving up.

Remember, kids:

Pirate Bay DOES NOT HOST ILLEGAL FILES just allows people to access materials that are copyrighted.

So, for that they basically encourage us to download this material thus infringing copyright and various content and intellectual property laws...

otherwise known as "Metallica don't get another 2 million dollars this year" or "JAYZ Doesn't get a fancy new house to not live in".

Nevermind, they'll serve Magnets soon so we're all good.

GOOGLE:

The government want to basically block searches from engines to this sort of thing. Isn't that taking away the freedom of the internet?

FUCK THIS NOISE! SUPPORT THE PIRATE BAY!!!!!

STAY LEET!
