…who have absolutely no sympathy for the Pirate Bay guys.
What they were doing was clearly illegal. They knew it was clearly illegal and decided to do it anyway.
It isn’t a question of if the law is right, wrong or stupid. That is a question for another day.
The question is should anyone be shocked or angry that a group of people who knowing the law choose to willingly violate it for years are punished for it.
I say nope.
It’s like the limewire business. I’ve been warning people for years about the dangers of P2P but the thought of paying .99 cents for a song is just too much to bear. So their systems get infected and if they are lucky enough not to get identity and information stolen they still end up paying $100+ dollars to clean it up.
I’m happy to clean these systems but people you are doing this to yourself.
It would be nice to be able to have everything we want for free. It would also be nice to be able to walk down the toughest street in town at 2 a.m. with a full wallet and a beautiful lady on your arm and not have to worry about being robbed or mugged however it is just as realistic.
