- hotspot102, on 10/27/2007, -14/+270Although you may not be a supporter of "piracy" or what I like to call file sharing. Theres no reason for you not to have respect for thepiratebay, and their willingness to take on big studios. If only their were more organizations with similar determination, to take on big telecom, big oil etc.
- amsterdamordeth, on 10/10/2007, -2/+163that header image has been up on tpb for about 2-3 weeks or so i think.
- thebellmaster1x, on 10/10/2007, -2/+93Yarr if you support TPB!
- Sedako, on 10/10/2007, -2/+59Your mouse pointer leads me to believe that you're running an Adams Family theme.
- Skanadian, on 10/10/2007, -4/+59Am I the only one who doesn't understand the logo?
- mwolfzorn, on 10/10/2007, -7/+51I think the new one up right now is even more important! http://static.thepiratebay.org/img/freeburma.png and a link to http://www.freeburma.org/
- hiphoc, on 10/10/2007, -5/+45More organizations to take on big studios? The Pirate Bay is made up of a few guys with a great idea standing up for themselves. That is what americans used to do before we started to bow to our coporate masters. Not flaming you, just saying that Pirate Bay has set a good example. Stand up for yourselves. Anything that doesnt make money for a corporation has to be sued or controlled in this country. This is *****, its got to stop. All hail Pirate Bay, thanks for the movies and programs!!! P.S. I need Pro Tools 7.X
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+46Ha-Ha
The logo is no longer there!
Submitter is an idiot!!!!!!!!111!!!! - jordan314, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26Thank god, logos are essential to legal proceedings!
- flickboy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+28I support sharing our culture. Well, what isn't manufactured, anyway, I mean our REAL culture. I'd come out against piracy if I thought it was really hurting the artists who are making music and art. BUY TICKETS TO CONCERTS, that's how musicians make money. BUY PAINTINGS. That's the way to keep things going, not buying overpriced CDs where the musicians won't see a penny of it anyway due to corporate accounting fraud.
- en3r0, on 10/10/2007, -8/+27Doesn't this belong in the old news section?
- JiMiThInG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Yeah I'm much more impressed to see the good guys at TPB supporting the movement in Burma.
- holygram, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Is the logo not there anymore? I certainly don't see it.
- edru, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13he might have bought it when it was 6.0, tool...
- suriyou, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13This must be a really slow news day if this made it to the front page, being that this has been in place of their logo for a few weeks. :/
- EmperorAwesome, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Yarrr...this chair be high, says I.
- afx1, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13concerts and t-shirts support musicians
- zebesian, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10He probably saw it when he looked for the new episode of heroes.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10It's been on their site for a week now.. You guys are slow.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8No, just the torrents you download off public sites. If you were on private trackers you wouldn't have this problem.
- probrian, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10yarr
you down with TPB...yeah you know me :) - D3koy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Many of us use slightly more obscure, therefore less likely to be attacked, torrent search sites...
- abyss478, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6@hotspot102
looks like someone didn't ace that "there, they're, their" test from last week :) - Jalh, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9***** the riaa
- JohnnyXmas, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Pirate Bay doesn't support piracy because its cool, they support it because they so violently hate the greed of these corporations.
- thesquirrelwood, on 10/10/2007, -6/+11I think all the "it's ok to pirate videos/music because X" is complete ***** and everyone that says it knows it. If someone creates a work of art, then they can do whatever they want with it. If they don't want to share it, that's their choice. If they want to charge you (or have someone else charge you) 20 dollars for an album, that's up to them. And you have no right to go steal their work.
BUT, the piratebay hosts torrent files, not movies or mp3s, so they do nothing wrong. This is like saying I can be arrested for telling someone that their is a book in the library called "modern chemistry" that tells you how to make a bomb... more *****...
Too much ***** in today's world. - roodammy44, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Apple's music is too expensive too.
Competing with free is possible with better quality, a nice easy to use store that has *everything* and no crappy DRM and a cheap price, say 20c per song.
It's not much to ask. - mindbullets, on 10/10/2007, -6/+10buried since any true pirate would have known this already
- SignOfHope, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5lol
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Shut the ***** up. Piracy isn't stoping the industry from making flicks. They make a huge profit from cinemas and everything else, and the overpriced dvd sells. Us downloading ***** isn't going to do anything, so quit your preaching and go back to Slashdot so people will think you're smart cause that place is filled with morons like you. I bet even Kevin Rose himself thinks your a ***** idiot for posting that.

- arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5you mean pro-tool?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4what's with that mouse pointer?
- PaperMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7Yes, Piracy is wrong. There are no arguments around that. Not even Alex's argument that he would never pay for it anyway so there is no harm in pirating it. It is intellectual property that is being shared (usually) without the creators consent. Yes, most of us have found some sort of flimsy argument that we cling to to assuage our own guilt for pirating things from time to time but that doesn't make it right (ok yes, I'm actually asking you to read the rest of my comment even after that spectacular display of hypocrisy!)
For me, the story here is that this is all playing out like some horrible tv cop drama with evidence of illegal attacks against the Pirates Bay and sundry attempts at outright entrapment of pirates. The fact that the Pirates Bay is willing to stand up and defend themselves is awesome. The MPAA and the RIAA need to learn that there is a right and a wrong way to conduct their business (and investigations). Going after grandparents and little children is not going to stop piracy. Sweeping reform to the motion picture and music industries, cracking down on the serious seeders and copying operations and a complete reworking of the pricing and subsequent distribution of earnings from this intellectual property is the only way to truly cut down on piracy. It has been said many times.
Give most people the option to and they will purchase the content at a _reasonable_ price provided that the restrictions are not so great on it that they can't do anything with it. If I have the option to pay $20 for a CD with 10 songs on it from the music store or buy those songs for $0.99 cents each (or $9.99 for the album) on iTunes but only be able to play them on my iPod or in iTunes on that one computer then I am either going to not buy it at all, or go and pirate the one or two songs I wanted to begin with so that I can do what I please with them. Yes they have DRM free downloads and I am open to that and will, in fact, buy DRM free music when I can find what I want in such a format. Either give us the option or send us all back to our high school days of going to shows at dingy clubs and buying CDs straight from the band out of the back of their parents station wagon... - xtraa, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4The big players should be more thankful to the pirates and the cracking-groups.
Without their support and help, these *kids* of yesterday who became the *experts*
of today would never had used programs like Photoshop or Cubase, simply because
no one could afford them.
It was the cracking-groups who made it the industry standard. And they did it all
in their free-time, without getting any money from it.
Maybe it is time to give something back, now. - CarzorStelatis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Actually here in the UK you /could/ be arrested for helping someone obtain instruction useful to a terrrorist - no kidding. Of course, Sweden isn't a police state like the UK.
- thecheat1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I could honestly say at that price, I would buy EVERYTHING from that store.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3.cx
- DestroyFascism, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6Yeah tool!
- iambeefy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Free Aung San Suu Kyi!
and a Yarr for TPB! - Nick519, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2i don't support the RIAA or anything, but speaking as a designer that is one completely terrible logo.
- hammerpants, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Idiot.
Although you may not be a supporter of 'piracy,' or what I like to call, "file sharing," there's no reason for you to not have respect for The Pirate Bay and their willingness to take on big studios. If only there were more organizations with similar determination to take on big telecom, big oil, etc., then we'd be set. (I added this last part because it's a fragment sentence without it. You're welcome.)
Of course, if we were editing logic here, the fallacies are rampant. So, grammar and punctuation are pretty much moot, wouldn't you say? - hammerpants, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3For the love of God and all that is holy...THERE is a place. THEIR is possessive.
- kidcodea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2wow flashback!
- Travelsonic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Libel makes you no less ignorant than those of the lowest common denominator.
- relinquish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If you like TPB, you'll really like OFF: http://wiki.offdev.org
- joel.smith, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1dugg for your freaky ass cursor
- slimdizzy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
- superdoug, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1***** the RIAA! The MPAA sucks! The RIAA sucks!
- lucas22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1speaking of which, are you done with those tps reports?
