If your paycheque is in any way related to the creation or distribution of original content in the information age, a business sector which is an increasingly large part of the world and Swedish economy, then you would applaud this ruling.
this is disgusting!!
Because if they were employed, it would be beyond hypocritical for a Pirate Bay user to go to work and expect to get paid.
Or do they think that their time is more valuable than the time of others?
Not all of the content on Pirate Bay comes from huge faceless corporations.
This idea is simply a LIE that people knowingly tell themselves to justify their selfish behaviour.
What it really comes down to is the fact that with each generation we are sliding further into a welfare-state mindset were people think that they deserve everything WITHOUT MERIT.
In the information age, the buying and selling of digital information and creative content is an essential part of the economy. And in fact even big faceless corporations deserve to get compensated for the products they sell.
The Pirate Bay crowd mostly pretends to be against cencorship. When was the last time a Pirate Bay supporter posted a comment about Burma or the occupation of Tibet on a Swedish blog and had it removed by the Swedish government?
At the end of the day most of these Pirate Bay supporting adolescents (morally, if not also biologically) are simply and selfishling interested in acquiring movies, songs, books etc.. without paying for any of these.
