So the first verdict finally came, almost 3 years after the raid. You might have heard about it in the news...
You, our beloved users, know that this little speedbump on the information super highway is nothing more than just, a little bump. Todays verdict has already been appealed by us and will be taken to the next level of court (and that will take another 2 or 3 years!)
The site will live on! We are more determined than ever that what we do is right. Millions of users are a good proof of that.
We have seen that some people that we dont know have started collecting donations for us, so we can pay those silly fines. We firmly ask you NOT to do this. Do not gather or send any money. We do not want them since we will not pay any fines!
If you really want to help out, here is a list:
* Seed those torrents a little bit more than you usually do!
* Buy a t-shirt and show the world where your sympathy is.
* If you live in Europe, vote in the election for the EU parliament in June.
* Continue to build the internets! Start more bittorrent sites, blog more, start your own lobby group, create, remix, mash up and continue to grow more heads on this amazing hydra that we know as the internets!
* Do not be afraid of using the network. Invite your friends to this and other file sharing systems. Calm people down if they're upset. We need to stay united.
And say it loud say it proud! We are all The Pirate Bay!

I'm curious to see what kind of legal strategy they think would make hosting torrents to download pirated materials legal. Its like if someone sold you a car willed with crack and told you that you can use the car to get to the crack.

The verdict is soooooo wrong.
The judge didn't even know what a tracker was! furthermore, the KingKong defence is very solid. The IFPI should show the KingKong user to the court to win the case!
Info about the trial are on http://trial.tepiratebay.com and also on #spectrial, let's continue to show them our support.

People really don't seed enough. I have a new laptop so I don't seed as much as I should either but I think I'll start doing it a lot more. I think 50% of your downloads should be uploads.

The Pirate Bay will never die!

Keep expending money on demands. The only way to stop internet piracy is going back to the 56k modems, because every day is easier and easier.

The Pirate Bay is no more guilty than any other company that either points toward .torrent files (google!) or provides citizens with the means to access such files (Dell, Gateway, countless ISP's) so there is little reason to believe they are in any serious trouble. As long as the internets exist, there will be pirates. Long Live The Pirate Bay!

LONG LIVE THE PIRATE BAY!!!!

If you know anything about The Private Bay.. one thing is the money they make from ads donations and merch go to upgrade servers. All the work is strictly volunteer based. The Pirate Bay is a Para-dime shift in corporate business. Just check out Digg's Dialogg on Trent Reznor. http://digg.com/dialogg/Trent_Reznor

file sharing is the only way we get to watch shows from the Discovery channel and the BBC (even if you can afford cable or satellite). Besides the really good movies never make it to theaters because hollywtf sells better.

respect.

Yes! Pirates unite!
