- Shreyasva, on 03/27/2008, -3/+107god bless the swedes
- AsSubtleAsABrik, on 03/27/2008, -4/+87The Pirate Bay is my hero.
- airburst, on 03/27/2008, -0/+58As an American I am ashamed that all of the 'fighting' for free speech is coming from overseas and that America has become a censor.
I wish a new president would change this, but frankly I don't think he is the problem. Until we get big-business out of government I don't expect anything to change. - mrelusive, on 03/27/2008, -8/+61***** the RIAA!
- wisedude, on 03/27/2008, -1/+48Damn if they came here I'd choose them over comcast any day
- xOKxWhy, on 03/27/2008, -2/+37Bizzaro Comcast
- EarlOfLade, on 03/27/2008, -1/+32The problem is caused when one tries to apply what would be OK in USA to Europe. European privacy laws are way more strict and much more restrictive than in the US. It's about time this charade from IFP gets shot down, once and for all.
The problem is in reality, that Americans accept to be screwed over and over again and then bend over and ask for more. These companies are so used to being supported by US courts and outdated laws that does not have the consumer in mind. - Picer, on 03/27/2008, -1/+23EU>IFPI
You can't rob us of our rights that easily *****! - worthone, on 03/27/2008, -1/+18Bless the EU and the Swedish jurisdiction. Bless the corporations that aren't acquiescing to the will of single-minded lobby groups, that actually follow and understand the law. Also, I'd probably want the Pirate Bay to be blessed as well for putting up a good fight.
- Jeffler, on 03/27/2008, -0/+16Can I have Telia Sonera in Canada instead of Bell please?
- KlogereEndGrim, on 03/27/2008, -2/+17Wow, an ISP that does not just bend over and pretend its a thermometer?
Nice to see a bit of integrity and some bravado, it is too easy to just troll people legally using copyright law!
Xenu be praised! ;) - tratten, on 03/27/2008, -0/+14That's right. We are blessed with logic instead of religion.
- Owwmykneecap, on 03/27/2008, -1/+15Go EU I choose you.
- NorthStateGonzo, on 03/27/2008, -2/+15Good Aye Mate!!! " Fly the Jolly Roger" Long Live the Pirate Bay ;-)
- Kurlumbenus, on 03/27/2008, -6/+18Oooga booga chooga shooga jibba jabba bork bork bjork!
- Jandels, on 03/27/2008, -0/+10With 85% of Sweden's population being atheist/agnostic, I don't think it'll be god who blesses the swedes.
- boobyman, on 03/27/2008, -0/+10Actually, their costumer service sucks ass. But hey, I think I'm going to call them, wait in the phone line for 2 hours just to tell them that I love them.
I pay $40 a month for 24mbit. It's about time I get my money worth of interwebz. - Radan, on 03/27/2008, -4/+14Vi uppskattar er tillgivenhet, oh simpla dödlige. Tor ska för detta seriöst överväga att inte längre spendera torsdagkvällarna med att förgöra era själar.
- verkon, on 03/27/2008, -2/+11That's racist against my people, the Swedes! Just because you hate our blue eyes and blond hair!
- SomeImagination, on 03/27/2008, -1/+10When are these retarded anti piracy organisations gonna realise they can't keep fighting pirates, they might win a few little battles every now and then but they'll never win the war.
- Neoanarchist, on 03/27/2008, -0/+9Uhh have you gotten a bill from your ISP lately? Yea, I thought so. It's not free jackass, and if you notice, all avenues of ***** you, involve your ISP. ISPs have us by the balls and in most (if not all) cases, ISP are huge corporations that care more about money than customer satisfaction or free speech.
- offspring06, on 03/27/2008, -0/+9***** the IFPI.
- Neoanarchist, on 03/27/2008, -1/+9GO TS but... ***** RS! Seriously though, I ***** hate rapidshare.
- Neoanarchist, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8I'm pretty sure you ***** up your thermometer in ass analogy but whatever.
- yessuz, on 03/27/2008, -0/+7Haha IFPI should understand some things about Europe:
This is not America. THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
oh, Sweden FTW - Scanner771, on 03/27/2008, -7/+14Isint the internet free, why do the people in the US let the company's and the government control them.
- avasol, on 03/27/2008, -3/+10Funny how the larger the population that don't put their faith in logical fallacies and mythical stories, the larger the awareness and empathy for social issues and will to create an environment for all.
(This does not apply just to Sweden and Sweden is by no means perfect. We only appreciate paying for the exorbitant amounts of welfare we have when we go to the US and other third-world countries and see for ourselves what happens without it). - SpectreFire, on 03/27/2008, -0/+7You DO realize that the internet isn't really a series of tubes and you can't just break into one and steal all the content from it.
- sinrtb, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6@ Flummoxer: Lack of health care, Welfare only for those willing to make it a full time job, poor education, illegal wars of aggression, what is your definition of a third world country?
- OrangeTide, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6The internet is free? wtf?
- statikeffect, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6I just don't understand where these companies got the idea they can start to monitor the internet... I mean, really?
- Tenoq, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6Only if your neighbour has an open WiFi network.
- karolisonline, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6telia sonera isn't just an ISP, it IS biggest telecommunication company in Scandinavia and Baltic. it is like local microsoft. they can ***** IFPI, they don't care, because they know who is who.
- insurgente, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6Democratic state ownership > private tyranny ownership.
- Tenoq, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5Live long and prosper. :p
- Tenoq, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5And here in Australia you pay that to get 512kb/s with limited downloads (anywhere from 400MB to 10GB). But I'm not sure what that has to do with costumes?
- MAGZine, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5Good to see a strong voice that won't bow down and that will stand up for TPB.
Arr, indeed. - Jeldtoft, on 03/27/2008, -1/+6Just because you don't have a premium account. Full speed downloads, maxing out my 15mbit connection. Yes, that is pretty nice, compared to crap-torrents.
- HonoredMule, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5Good service and protection of freedom and privacy is worth its weight in gold.
- grindmygears, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5Well done Sweden. Until now I was only impressed by their culinary skills. :)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=sY_Yf4zz-yo - hexydes, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5LOL
Seriously?
I know people in the US that are with Comcast, and they often lose their connection for 12 hours at a time, once or twice per month, every month.
24 hours? LOL. - jaxter2010, on 06/17/2009, -3/+8wow thats the first time i've seen this statement in the right place.
- Tenoq, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4And until you change how presidents and Congress are elected, I don't think that's going to change either :p
- falafelkiosken, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4lol bra, jag vill inte missa fredag :)
- Tippis, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Here in Sweden, though, it's not quite worth it. With the right ISP, you can get 100Mbit for less.
Heck, I pay $10/month for my 10/10 connection. - Flummoxer, on 03/28/2008, -2/+6Yeah, the US is a third world country... And I thought WE (USA) were supposed to be the arrogant ones.
- hexydes, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4That's ok, someone's fighting it for you. They're called the "MPAA", "RIAA", etc.
I don't think you'll like the outcome they're fighting for, though... - wellyuk, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4SILENCE FOOL! Dost thou deny the Internet is a series of tubes?! I should have you taken away and flogged within an inch of your life for such insolence! I'll make you eat your words if it's the last thing I do!
Guards! Take this fool away to the tower... - Impossis, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4i think Pirate Bay is a pretty cool guy. eh wins legal battles and doesn't afraid of anything.
