washingtonpost.com — "...the Pirate Bay (shutdown) can be traced to an April meeting in Washington between the Swedes and the U.S. government... A little more than a month later, Swedish police hit the headquarters of the Pirate Bay and closed the site...(PB) was back up and running three days later, sporting a logo of a pirate ship sinking the word "Hollywood."

There's a difference between Dan Dickman saying something, and the US government threatening you on his behalf.

You are right in saying that breaking unjust laws is not always a bad thing. However, I think that breaking a law without first working exhaustively to have that law changed or repealed is not necessarily a good thing. Of course it is not always so simple, especially these days, when individuals seem to have so little lobbying power in the government. However, I do think that people use the argument "unjust laws should be broken" to justify their own actions a little too often.

"Not all comments are necessary, thus they get dugg down like they deserve."Like yours? ;)You know, Slashdot has a "Funny" modifier for a reason - something doesn't have to be serious, verbose, or even intelligent to contribute to the conversation. Considering that the commment's got 26 positive diggs, I'd have to say that it DOES contribute.

APB is probably AntiPiratByrån (anti-pirate group).
