Software/music/film piracy is a relatively new phenomenom - say, 30 years since the cassette tape was used to rip music from vinyl. Piracy by the legal profession is much, much older and has been used to rip money from the pockets of the people forever. Vested and protected interests by law societies via lawyers, the bar and judiciary will always lay a stench of mistrust when you have situations such as the Pirate Bay case. One more thing. The judiciary are allowed to belong to or be associated with commercial/industry groups in Sweden??!! Surely not. Sweden is an independent, tolerant society with a history of not taking sides. Oh wait...nah...better not mention the war.

This article incorrectly states that The Pirate Bay requested their users to support them by making micropayments. In reality what they requested was that anyone who wanted to support them to make payments of $1 or less and then request a refund for wrong payment. In doing so this would waste much much more of the company's money and time for processing the refund requests which they would have to do. I am a HUGE supporter of TPB. When will the recording industry's realize that no matter what happens there is no stopping file sharing.

I like the idea they had for the micropayments, to screw over the person they were paying out to. That's a great way to stick it to the man. I would've loved taking part in that.

I am glad the Pirate Bay team is fighting for what they believe in.

Ridiculous! I've been reading Peter's blog and they need to be getting more careful there in Sweden. It's almost like they're conspiring to get them judged, but conspiracy should happen behind closed doors and these torrent fanatics are some of the best people in the world to open doors, or at least see straight through them.
Politicians need to start worrying about their jobs. This stuff might give the pirate party some serious headway.
What I'm more concerned about is civil unrest though. I'm really starting to believe this stuff might lead to riots in Sweden.
