- AsSubtleAsABrik, on 04/25/2008, -3/+349I'm glad to see the law suits are discouraging people from pirating things.
- 22eleven, on 04/25/2008, -2/+198I can see them getting 20million by the end of summer with all this negative anti-piracy media.
- FallOutBoyTonto, on 04/25/2008, -4/+165***** the CRIA! (I'm Canadian)
:) - wontstoptalking, on 04/25/2008, -2/+140Oh, god, you scared me. When I read the title, I thought "smashes" was not a good thing at all. But upon clicking on the title, I was shown otherwise! Yippee!
- MAGZine, on 04/25/2008, -2/+117I openly welcome the RIAA. MPAA, IFPI, and any other companies to continue to push ThePirateBay brand through mainstream news.
More Users? Yes please. - nicolasavru, on 04/25/2008, -2/+79Long Live The Pirate Bay!
- badenglishihave, on 04/25/2008, -6/+61Well if I tell a friend, and then that friend tells another friend, and so on... that would be a lot of friends!
- cvxdes1, on 04/25/2008, -8/+61If you only had a friend, that would be a huge breakthrough indeed.
- andregriffin, on 04/25/2008, -4/+49aXXo*
- DoubleSidedTape, on 04/25/2008, -0/+43When I first read the title it sounded like 12,000,000 users had been killed or turned in or something.
- Risingashes, on 04/25/2008, -0/+37Maybe you can tell me and I can tell you- and then we can go braid each others hair.
- canthraxp, on 04/25/2008, -0/+34getting involved with the MAFIAA = free publicity.
Keep up the good work MAFIAA, each step gets you closer to your own destruction... but ***** you anyway. - vfreak2, on 04/25/2008, -1/+34From the stats they provided, more users will mean more seeders - I'm all for that!
- mark076h, on 04/25/2008, -2/+31LONG LIVE THE PIRATE BAY AARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- TheCasablancan, on 04/25/2008, -0/+25Can I come too? I'll bring my bedazzler.
- Splitthebiscuit, on 04/25/2008, -2/+26"negative anti-piracy"? So, is that like pro piracy?
- Torpov, on 04/25/2008, -0/+22I've got a rock tumbler!
- psykiv, on 04/25/2008, -0/+21Demonoid? HOLY ***** DEMONOID IS BACK!!
- MAGZine, on 04/25/2008, -1/+22CRIA could really careless, I'm starting to feel. The RCMP already publicly stated they won't be pursuing Filesharers.
- twiztidsinz, on 04/25/2008, -1/+20But all my friends already know about TPB!
- RSS14, on 04/25/2008, -7/+26This is my first time saying this, I am excited!
***** THE RIAA! - vfreak2, on 04/25/2008, -8/+26Sorry, I had to post again - LONG LIVE THE PIRATE BAY! And long live our beloved Demonoid!
- Sefus, on 04/25/2008, -3/+20Long Live The Pirate Bay!
It's got to be one of the coolest things ever... people just need to catch on.
I'll be doing my part. Arr! - killerofkiller, on 04/25/2008, -1/+17***** 90's
- badjoke, on 04/25/2008, -1/+16All my friends already use The Pirate Bay. I even overheard my girlfriend teaching her 14 year-old little sister how to BitTorrent with TPB one day. Cool times we live in.
- Samsong, on 04/25/2008, -1/+16Pirates are bad at multiplication.
- cvxdes1, on 04/25/2008, -0/+15Man, acronyms ***** infuriate all Americans.
- inactive, on 04/25/2008, -3/+17i hope you get caught because you sound like a little scared bitch
- Aensland, on 04/25/2008, -0/+13Ah, young love, how fickle.
- MrKrinkleDude, on 04/25/2008, -0/+13TPB needs to stop smashing people. It's bloody and messy. I'd prefer to keep my organs inside my body please.
- Culyt, on 04/25/2008, -1/+14I understand that talking to a girl may be a big step but keep at it.
- ogloom, on 04/25/2008, -0/+12BitTorrent is extremely illegal. Everyone who uses it gets caught, and then shot..Beware
- Exact0, on 04/25/2008, -2/+14I don't want to make the same argument or be cliche, but P2P has made me spend more money on music than anytime in the past.
Teenagers are always going to download full illegal CDs because they don't have the income to spend a few extra dollars of their paycheck or allowance a week on music.
I'm guessing most people with a few extra bucks to spend a week are like me. I'm not going to waste my money, I've worked hard for it, and I'm not going to just give my money to greedy people with no talent. I go to concerts of bands I like, buy their CDs, and maybe buy a shirt or some beers at said concert. And that money at least goes to the talent.
I download a *****-ton of music, but I support the bands that impress me, and the music I download that I don't like gets deleted. These greedy MFs are getting free advertisement and are complaining about it.
I mean damn, half of the music I own I've bought many times over because they won't provide a loss-less DRM-free version...and I'm sick of it. Don't give me a ***** (going to get scratched and unreadable at some point) and expect me to buy it again.
I'm not a huge fan of NIN or Radiohead, but I've bought all their tracks just to try to get the message to these thick-headed multi-millionaire **AA.
/rant over - wontstoptalking, on 04/25/2008, -4/+16-When I grow up, I want to be like AxxO, Mommy!
-That's fine, sweetheart. - counterplex, on 04/25/2008, -1/+12The search is actually much improved. That's as a result of a recent upgrade. 'course a little birdie told me all that.
- aussieNickuss, on 04/25/2008, -0/+10Oh well....I may as well say ***** the ARIA! ^Aussie^
- compu73rg33k, on 04/25/2008, -1/+11Haha, so true! brokep should have called on the anti-piracy agencies to sue them in other countries where they are not as well known - for the free press they always end up getting!
- PhuzzyDay, on 04/25/2008, -2/+11You might want to grab a helmet.
- 11oops, on 04/25/2008, -0/+9Wow. Just wow. Wouldn't you even consider to reread the post before make such an asinine comment?
- Aensland, on 04/25/2008, -1/+10The chances of you being discovered by a record label isn't that high. I'd rather take my chances self-publishing over the 'net. My band isn't rich - hell, it isn't even a living - but what are the odds of that going the label route anyway? Extremely unlikely. Unless you start a scandal or get into a reality show or something. Or you could tutor/teach music, or join an orchestra, or something. Either way, choices that don't involve record labels at all.
- myak, on 04/25/2008, -0/+9Everyone uses it. Mininova is a search engine (not really sure if it's a tracker as well) and TPB is the biggest BitTorrent tracker on the face of earth. Whether you use its search feature or you use Mininova, isohunt or whatever, you sure as hell are downloading some of your torrents from TPB tracker.
- ThEDeMoNKiNg, on 04/25/2008, -2/+10Tehe!
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+7Mininova definitely has my personal preference, I like the clean/minimalist look of it. TPB is a great source of humour though :)
- fkr3, on 04/25/2008, -4/+11I like how people say old media are avoiding or obstructing digital distribution. It's like iTunes, Amazon and a million other services out there legally providing access to music just don't exist on digg. Like I can't, in less than a minute, do a search on iTunes and buy an album for a few dollars from just about any artist I can think of.
That Propogate site sounds interesting but you're missing one little detail - artists or the labels they contract to are the ones who get to decide, not you. You get to decide if you want their product, they get to decide how they'll sell it. That's how real life works, and no amount of pro-piracy spin torrentfreak writes each day changes that fundamental component of business and capitalism. - m1ss1ontomars, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7Oh no! Flattened bittorrent users! :(
- lupuz2k, on 04/25/2008, -1/+8don't forget about GEMA (I'm german ^^)
- tomtom10, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6Pirate Bay has 12,000,000 peers at any given time. You can't compare that to iTunes userbase since those 200 million are not on iTunes at the same time.
