torrentfreak.com — Swedish authorities and anti-piracy groups are taking extreme measures to shut down The Pirate Bay. Their latest trick is to use child pornography as a tool in their war on piracy. Ethical? No. Effective? Could be. Meet the people behind The Pirate Bay Conspiracy.

That same movie is available on dozens of trackers sites. Download it and see if its child porn before you believe one random comment on a torrent.<a class="user" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Arina%20Russian%20Teen&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls">http://www.google.com/search?q=Arina%20Russian%20Teen&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls</a>

That's the standard argument in favor of copyright. Here's the problem: Letting someone have a copy costs you nothing. How can you rationalize withholding a copy from someone simply because they are unable or unwilling to pay the price you want for it?Artistic works have value because people can enjoy them. There's no advantage to promoting the creation of artistic works if those works are going to be "protected" by copyright so that only a few people can appreciate them and no-one can build upon them.

The police are not uploading child porn themselves. That's just a baseless insinuation that the article briefly mentions to try and make people post that exact "f**k the Swedish police, they upload child porn!" crap from nothing but an accusation and no evidence.

"etting someone have a copy costs you nothing."I'm not charging them money because it costs money to replicate what I made, I'm charging them for the right to use it. There are tons of things that are manufactured in factories that cost fractions of cent to make, but they still charge for them because they need to turn a profit to keep their operation going. "How can you rationalize withholding a copy from someone simply because they are unable or unwilling to pay the price you want for it?"If they can't pay for it, then they don't get to use it, whether it's a program I programmed or a song I wrote. If I let people use it whether or not they could pay then there'd be no incentive for them to pay. And without pay I don't have incentive to make it in the first place. If they can't afford it that's their problem - that's part of being poor. I know it sounds harsh, but the whole point of getting a well paying job and making money is so that you can afford nice things like the music you want.

When you are the manufacturer of the particular brand of air I enjoy, we'll talk.
