Well put Byron .. nice to see our information campaign is spreading.
There was a lot of fully legal content linked to on TPB .. and the site itself breaks no laws whatsoever. Plenty of countries in the world don't agree with or enforce USA copytheft laws in any shape or form.. just because something is a law in one place doesn't make it universal.
Tyranny by bullying is the sign of a country that has grown out of it's boots.. and barefoot in a world of little thorns like us is a dangerous place.. they might end up feeling a prick .. hahahahahaha
long live TPB .. keeping public content public regardless of the whiners.
Now for the appeals.. where it will be fount that accessory to making available" is way too wide.. it includes the content makers and the shop retailers and the item purchasers.. in fact the whole shooting match from the
mpaa down are involved in that...
Lets see some cinema owners busted next time a cammer is caught in their cinema... because if they hadn't assisted by "making available" then the cammer would have nothing to film... the cinema owner is profiting from the "making available" whereas the cammer is probably working at their own expense just because they want to... With this outcome from round one it opens a can of worms for anybody clever and crafty enough to start with the interpretations of facts and logical conclusions.. something the prosecution couldn't do in a million years.. and something they obviously had to bribe judge and jury to get across.. There was no case to answer here.. nothing illegal in Sweden had been done.. did they categorically prove that a few films and files were shared as individuals by the site owners?.. and where is the profit motive that is needed AS INDIVIDUALS for the piracy/theft to stand?. hahahahahaha
Time for people to wake up and smell the coffee.. today these four.. tomorrow me, you, and everybody else who has ever bought a film or
cd and no longer has the shop receipt to prove beyond doubt you paid for it and didn't get it from piracy.. and also get rid of your pc.. because you might have copied it or shared it.. and they can spoof up "evidence" (sorry.. I laugh every time I hear that word in
p2p matters these days) against you then bribe or coerce a legal action to give the outcome they want...
I thought damages had to be actually shown to be compensation for proven damage and loss.. these a$$hats can't show ONE lost sale or ONE proven case of loss.. ouch I hurt my unemployed foot falling on a nik in the pavement.. I want 9 million in damages because I couldn't go to the shop to buy tobacco for a couple of days as a result.. yeah right XD
