- ani625, on 05/08/2008, -1/+147The "legal" page in thepiratebay gives an idea how much they are actaully gonna pay..
- lucidguru, on 05/08/2008, -3/+119[Insert ***** the MPAA here]

- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -0/+79Im looking forward for the response letter of TPB...
- mark076h, on 05/08/2008, -1/+78LONG LIVE THE PIRATE BAY! ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

- h0ser, on 05/08/2008, -1/+62Pirate bay replies by saying "shiver me timbers"

BREAKING: MPAA DEMANDS $20 BILLION FROM THE PIRATE BAY! - BlakeEM, on 05/08/2008, -2/+51Sure but The Pirate Bay isn't in the US.
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -2/+50***** the MPAA and RIAA!
- Skelly11, on 05/08/2008, -3/+39Ok, the MPAA won one battle against TorrentSpy and suddenly they grow the balls to take on the world.....***** THE MPAA
- Vizerai, on 05/08/2008, -4/+40The Pirate Bay should make a counter demand that the MPAA go ***** themselves.
- burrgrinder, on 05/08/2008, -2/+37Copyright infringement isn't a federal offense. It's strictly a civil (monetary) matter between two parties. The government itself can't take any action against you for infringing someone else's copyright.
Also, unless TPB operates as a business in the US somehow or their current residing country has some sort of law agreement for civil matters, I don't see this working out very well for the MPAA. - adml_shake, on 05/08/2008, -1/+36Screams last ditch effort to me.
- RyanJones, on 05/08/2008, -2/+35What's worse is that the guys actually believe they are going to get the money from the TPB. Nobody can be that naive after all they have tried so far can they?
- gubatron2, on 05/08/2008, -0/+29Those are the best, for those who haven't been enlightened by previous responses please go here and read the responses http://thepiratebay.org/legal
- TomFrost, on 05/08/2008, -1/+29To infringe on one's copyright, one must make freely available an asset that would not normally be freely available, outside the list of allowable exceptions.
The Pirate Bay does not, has not, and will never do this. They store 128-bit hashes of file parts. No amount of data on their site is copyrighted by anyone. They do not distribute copyrighted data. Others do. The allowance of bittorrent file sharing is not illegal. - gamedyer, on 05/08/2008, -2/+30yeah... Torrents will live for a long time. These people are just trying to threaten. Bullies! :D
- SpookyApplePie, on 05/08/2008, -2/+29***** THE RIAA
***** THE MPAA
***** THE IFPI
***** THE BFI (im british) - whyufail, on 05/08/2008, -1/+27The MPAA is good at making demands, but that's about it. Regardless, they aren't going to see *****. I am however curious how they managed to narrow it down to those few torrents.
- sagat, on 05/08/2008, -3/+283 movies and 13 TV-episodes? Looks like the MPAA aren't very good at using the search tools.
- punkcat, on 05/08/2008, -0/+21do you really think they got a nickel out of torrent spy?
suing for and actually getting are two different things. - 1ShotJake, on 05/08/2008, -1/+20Too bad the MPAA hasn't figured out it wasn't meant to be sarcastic yet...
- jjwinter, on 05/08/2008, -2/+21Feeling sorry for the Mpaa is likened to being mad at puppies.... those sick bastards. It's official all Mpaa supporters hate puppies!
- Atomic1fire, on 05/08/2008, -5/+22Just 3 movies and 13 tv episodes?
Is the RIAA going soft? - rasmasyean, on 05/08/2008, -0/+17The ironic thing is that this is "free advertising" toward people who's "curiosity" will be sparked by this article.
- RSS14, on 05/08/2008, -2/+18The MPAA are the real pirates . . . $15 million? Are they serious?
- Feanor, on 05/08/2008, -1/+16Except its a civil offense, not a crime.
- FDDIcent, on 05/08/2008, -1/+16“The worst thing is that I lost 100 kronor on a bet on the number they would come up with,” Sunde added. “And, it sucks that they didn’t claim more than for Napster and the other sites. It’s cooler to break the record.”
Awesome. - theskillwithin, on 05/08/2008, -1/+16I DEMAND $15 Million. (question: where do they think this ***** money comes from, does it exist?).
The context almost makes it empty. - spoogieking012, on 05/08/2008, -1/+16http://thepiratebay.org/legal
- AzureRise, on 05/09/2008, -0/+15Right after Duke Nukem Forever's release.
- Lith25, on 05/08/2008, -2/+16These guys are true pirates. Off of their Legal page:
--Fixed - inactive, on 05/08/2008, -2/+16Lol didn't pirate bay recently move to like Yemen or something? I doubt they are worried.
- cohortq, on 05/08/2008, -1/+15It's the MPAA.
- mrsteveman1, on 05/08/2008, -1/+14If i can search Google for a torrent file and end up being able to download the actual movie, they have done exactly the same thing TPB has, in fact google makes money on the ads they place next to your search just like TPB does. They are both indexes and search engines, and unless I'm wrong they are supposed to be covered by safe harbor because this is all user submitted content, in fact its HASHES of user submitted content, not even copyrighted material.
Then you are forced to move the argument into the territory of intent, proclaiming that TPB only exists to assist others in infringing copyrighted material, which is a different issue entirely. - chrgrose, on 05/08/2008, -2/+15Not in Sweden, tard.
- Rufunki, on 05/08/2008, -0/+12TPB has told entire countries to ***** off, MPAA is a insect at best to the awesome power of TPB.
- Aensland, on 05/08/2008, -1/+12That would be awesome to read in legalese.
- celkin, on 05/08/2008, -4/+15Just in case anyone missed it:
***** THE MPAA!!!1!!!one!1 - willk281, on 05/08/2008, -3/+13Well if the studios started consistently making smart, quality movies with real stories, rather than ***** out cheesy, CGI-loaded, celebrity-laced, emotionless movie-montages, then maybe we would respect the industry enough to start buying their product. I mean, American Gangster would have been great had they not casted Cuba, T.I., Common and every other black actor with a bus pass. War of the Worlds would have been awesome if it had a plot. Transformers would have been legendary had they not tried to shamelessly appeal to every ***** demographic on the planet. I haven't seen Iron Man yet, but after the "shock-and-awe" effect you get from action movies wears off, I hope it won't just be another Jumper (RDJ, you're by boy, don't let me down). But first.... *google search: iron man torrent*
- Aensland, on 05/08/2008, -3/+13Uh, TPB has proven repeatedly that they have not broken any of Sweden's laws. If you want to get technical then what is TPB doing that's illegal? Torrents in and of themselves aren't illegal. Why doesn't the MPAA sue Google for pointing to movies stored on Rapidshare or something, then? There's exactly nothing on TPB servers that is MPAA "intellectual property".
- CarnivalOfDust, on 05/08/2008, -1/+11$15 million for a few films and episodes? Do you get the impression that the MPAA just doesn't have the balls (or the evidence) for the final battle? TPB has handled other onslaughts really well, so here's hoping this goes the same way.
Good luck guys, we're all on your side! *Sheds a proud tear* - frsrblch, on 05/08/2008, -1/+11At that price, if they won damages for all the stuff on TPB they could buy Sweden.
- infinitiesedge, on 05/09/2008, -1/+11No YOU'RE.
- dafragsta, on 05/08/2008, -1/+11... to which the Pirate Bay replied "Is that all it takes to get you ***** to disappear?!"
- infinitiesedge, on 05/09/2008, -0/+10MPAA =/= Federal government
