Today, we filed a police report! :D
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Pirate Bay, the world’s largest site for cultural diversity and file sharing, has today (Monday 2022-02-18) reported a suspected crime to the Finnish police. The suspected criminals are the Finnish anti-piracy organization CIAPC (locally known as TTVK). The reason is that CIAPC have copied files from which The Pirate Bay is built, to produce a fraudulent parody site. While The Pirate Bay may have a positive view on copying, it will not stand by and watch copyright enforcing organizations disrespect copyright. - It's funny that we have to teach the copyright lobby the meaning of the law. The fact that they wrote it doesn’t mean that they are above it, says Winston Bay. CIAPC is not new to balancing on the edge of what's right and wrong. Last year, they initiated a police raid against a 9 year old girl and confiscated her Winnie the Pooh laptop. - CIAPC is like an ugly high school bully without friends. It's time to take a stand. Cyber bullying is a serious matter to us all, Winston Bay continues. The money that CIAPC might have to pay for this crime will however not end up at The Pirate Bay. - Our hearts are with the victimized 9 year old Finnish girl. Any money that might come out of this will fund a new computer for the girl. Facts: The Pirate Bay is the world’s largest file sharing site. It ranks as the world’s 58th largest site. Since its launch in 2003, it has maintained a strong stance for internet freedom and against censorship. It is run by dozens of individuals from all around the world, all with the same values of liberty, kopimi and progressiveness.
Two areas in which TPB excels.
Never surrender. :)

Piratebay and piratesses first
Also, I have read multiple stories saying that the little girl received a brand new laptop from anonymous donors within days of that raid.
Thx for a laugh.
Kudos

However, please change the font. It's annoying to read :-/
To fight fire with fire will only cause more fire, to put the fire out with water will cease the destruction. To finish your opponent you must go above and beyond them, an dissipate them from a higher power. They have stooped to a lower level then us, we have the opportunity to seize the moral high ground, by suing them we fall for their trap as it is exactly what they would expect us to have done. Use this opportunity to increase the power and size of The Pirate Bay, they placed and image of a sinking ship and they want that to be us. Let's build a bigger ship that truly sinks theirs.
Blog about movies reviews online.
What TPB did is exactly a seizure of the moral high ground. Copyright orgs stand by and promote a ridiculous set of rules, yet they ignore these rules when it suits them. TPB, by using the same methods they use while obviously standing against both the methods and the rules they stem from has made a great move to expose the org for the hapless corporate pawns they truly are.
This was the best course of action TPB could take, as it increases the case's publicity. Doing nothing, which you seem to suggest as the better choice, would just make the curious case of copyright protectors breaking the copyright go by unnoticed or, even worse, considered as acceptable.
It is not a "fight fire with fire" tactic. In this case fighting fire with fire would amount to TPB hiring some thugs to break into the CIAPC's server rooms, or kidnapping the company's directors to deliver "justice" onto them.
"Theparodybay.org"?
Once that is done then we can move onto the fun copyright legalities :)
If you did not know. The internet was suposed to be used by the defence agencies and goverments around the world. It was never intended for the kind of freedom we enjoy today and take for granted.
They see that this so called "file sharing" is out of control when in reality i would almost go as far as saying that they are attacking our freedom of speech. They want to take back the control over the internet.
Can you take a step back and even begin to imagine how the internet would be like without TPB? ALL Bittorrent sites gone... nowhere to dl a song without paying for it first. Imagine all the forums with their special "Goverment moderators" where you cant even speak a negative word about your local politician or local super market at that matter. Just like it is in the US at this moment, Today! YOU are not allowed to speak a bad wor
Its finally time for TPB to hit the companies with their own club! Use their own rules against them! Now we shall see what the copyright companies and Hollywood will do! They made the laws! They try to censur the way of live of modern day human beings! NOW WILL THEY ABIDE BY THEIR OWN LAWS!? WILL THEY LEAD BY EXAMPLE!? nah.... they will do what they always do.. just fuck the public opinion and do whatever they want to, because as all the goverments know.. individuals and small groups in the society have no power and we can bully them as we like aslong as they are divided and belive what we tell them.
Cant wait to see what happe
dont think its possible.. but maybe.. just maybe.. with the help of TPB and their friends, Everybodys friends across the globe...
Cant we start a name/protest list thats open to the entire population of the world and you can only register your name/vote once...
There is something about the idea... IF 80% of the inhabitants of this planet that use internet would unite and speak as one... I hope i will live until then if it ever comes to pass. That day would be historic...
The Voice of The People has spoken.. what would all the companies and countries in the world do?
As i said, I dont even know if this is possible with todays technology.. But if there is something that TPB has shown us and the rest of the world its that if there is a will there is a way!
TPB for life
Ohh.. i forgott.. i aint..
Will buy some T-shirt of yours when I'll be able too.
I support your cause!
Throttle the internet of CIAPC, send a massive bill to CIAPC for Copyright infringement?
There are many immoral things one could do.
