PB Flips Finger To Hollywood

The Pirate Bay foundation has flipped the bird at Corporate America's digital music, movie and game industries by moving their servers to the Netherlands, a change that will keep the site running even if The Pirate Bay loses its upcoming appeal, which isn't likely because Sweden does not acknowledge American copyright. As you read this the Pirate Bay founders, with the help of heaps of money and volunteerism, are setting up servers in every country that dismisses American copyright. If one PB site is shut down a switch will be turned and PB will continue to live on somewhere else. Corporate America will never end piracy because digital data takes up no space and no one really owns it.

Boycotting The Music/Movie Industries

It was all over Twitter yesterday and picked up much steam - the call for a boycott against the Music and Movie industries. 'Net users are being encouraged to cease all purchases of music and movie products and instead, download them directly from one of the thousands of P2P sites offering them. We encourage all readers to embrace the boycott and end Media's stranglehold on music and other digital media.

Torrent Users Vent

"What the industry and legislature fails to realize with these legal attacks on file sharing systems is that it's a war that will never be won. The coders and programmers behind these systems will always be five steps in front of the industry as far as creation and implementation of technologies is concerned."

"You can search for a torrent in Google, is anyone filing a lawsuit on Google?"

"Ordinary people have figured out they can go to a free website and read all the news they want as opposed to buying a newspaper. The Newspaper industry realizes their way of news distribution is dead yet they aren't suing the free news websites."

"The way a torrent works is simple: It's essentially a formula for putting the tiny "bits" of data together that make a much larger file.

Therefore, is it anymore illegal than sheet music, which tells me note for note how to play a song.? Or a recipe that tells me exactly what ratios of food items to put together to make a meal. Or a scientific formula that tells me how to construct a molecule. It's the same principle."

"Copyrights are inherently a limit on everyone's First Amendment freedoms based on a false analogy presented as if it were fact: "intellectual property rights." Modern de facto never-ending copyright laws are just flatly corporate welfare."

And finally, a great quote:

"Time is priceless yet it costs us nothing.
You can do anything you want with it but you can't own it.
You can spend it but you can't keep it and once you've lost it there's no getting it back.

It's just gone..." (Anonymous)
