Wait until you write a computer program and you're not allowed to make money off of it. Guess how long you'll continue making computer programs? You might say that a company will still make money, but that's only because many consumers still play by the rules and buy the products. If everyone downloaded music off bittorrent, the recording industry wouldn't survive. If everyone warezed The Sims, Will Wright would be broke. These creative people only make money because SOME people abide by the laws and buy stuff instead of stealing (and even if you disagree with laws against theft, theft is not equivalent with civil disobedience)You might call it "resistance", but you're just thinking of your own wallet.
Not really a big deal. All of the major torrent sites have been getting these kinds of letters for a while now. This particular response isn't really all that funny, or amusing. If anything, the guy is just being a douche. Apple, Microsoft, whoever have the right to try to protect their products. Would it be funny if someone stole your car every day, and made fun of you when you want your car back?
Apple's lawyers are atacking the wrong enemyThis is not the first time a company wants to blame a torrent search portal for user responsibilities. The users that make use of the trackers and download content that is copyrighted are the ones apple should punish, but not The Pirate Bay! This is ridiculous.The Pirate Bay is a community of users that share free content on the internet and they are not responsible for keeping a monitor of what should or not should be on their trackers, that is so absurd!!! Maybe the lawyers of Apple should go to study P2P concepts in MIT instead of sending such stupid letters.

It's too bad thepiratebay actually doesn't have much to offer besides entertaining email retorts at this point.
