Does it matter if TPB loses? There are still thousands of torrent sites out there.

Yes, there trying to make an example out of them. It obviously will not work because there site is still running and torrenting. I'm glad they got fucked over, not for them but for the government. It shows they don't have total control over what we can do.
They where not doing anything illegal. It's like LimeWire, it's not the service providers it's the material provides that deserve to be put in jail. They are taking the risk of uploading the illegal content.

Making an example of them doesn't do crap. When Nexon shut down OdminMS the number or MS private severs didn't decrease.

Who cares, TPB wont close or shutdown.
None of them will serve jail, until supreme court.
30mil? I bet it will go down to alot more after supreme court.
Who cares? They got a multi millionaire in their team.

It's shit, they took down a guy who's not related to them in any way as well, now they're heading for more trackers in Sweden.
Fucking Sweden government, it really sucks cocks. Now that we've got IPRED and shit, we're so locked up it's fuckin random whore.....
What moderator says:
They're getting sued for 30mil SEK, which is $3 000 000~.
Anyways, taking down the owners won't do shit, TPB will live on - and even if it really qwas broguth down it wouldn't do shit nayway

This isn't the first time this has happened. The music industry still randomly sues some college students huge fines for pirating about 100 songs. |
What do you suppose they can be doing except fining the thieves?

Why waste your time and resources finding the thieves when you can set up a straw effigy, just to tear it down?
... and probably make the same amount of money, no less.

TPB thought they were safe
.1 because they are in swendon, and being sued from hollywood doesn't work
.2 they weren't hosting illegal files (which is illegal), the hosts were the people who had the files originally
too bad they got found guilty, but it is far from over as their will be appeals
their website also leads to this website http://blackouteurope.eu/ which is kindia grim....

| Quote: | The damages were awarded to a number of entertainment companies, including Warner Bros, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI, and Columbia Pictures.
However, the total awarded fell short of the $17.5m in damages and interest the firms were seeking. |
They shouldn't have been fined even 1 freakin cent.
