PiratParty 2009.... VOTE mofos... VOTE!
The pirate bay guys deserve prison cos they made money out of facilitating crimes. Had they been a non-profit service then it would have been no different to the joker who secretly films people picking up money they planted on the street.
It may be impossible to imprison all the file-sharers, but they do deserve to spend eternity in hell unless they repent and repay those they stole from. They're the scumbags who would pick the money up off the street and pocket it.
You have a Judge whose self-interest would have made him unsuitable to even sit on a jury - I'm not a legal expert but hasn't he perverted the course of justice?
And the authorities? They steal from us all the time and then waste it on things like, well, the police.
Roll on 2012. With all the greed, selfishness and stupidity around, humanity really deserves to get its arse kicked.
