many people probably have never seen it or have never spent time on it but exists a very interesting section on TPB: http://thepiratebay.org/legal

practically here they collect all the stupid mails sent by the lawyers or sometimes directly the companies which "order" (asking is too hard for them, they prefer to order like they do with dogs and other animals) to remove the torrent files.

the best mails are those with a second reply from the companies which are very hilarious moreover because they say a lot of idiocies :)
for example there is one who says he is going in bankrupt due to TPB and in the subsequent mail he says that he is a millionaire, others who say that TPB does illegal things (as even the kids know no content resides and pass on the TPB servers), others who think that each country in the world belongs to USA and to its DMCA, others who claim to have shutted down websites where they admit was not hosted their material and so on.

uhmmm seems that the only way to hit TPB is the lawsuit with the corrupted judge... wow what justice, well after all Italy and Sweden are not so different :)

Personally I have only the famous C&C mails of Gamespy where was visible the usual reference to the unexistent DMCA, and the only bad things that I remember were just the "suggestions" of some italian people: remove the material, don't post their past mails publicly, don't continue your research and so on... poor losers, the real suggestion is ever the same: NEVER LISTEN SUGGESTIONS!
so after one month I opted for my way and the result ("Gamers trust us" section on my website) is what all we know and like :)

I have also another old mail from another idiot developer who tried to "order" me to remove a small tool.

Oh wait, just kidding. We haven't, since the site in question is fully
legal. Unlike certain other countries, such as the one you're in, we have
sane copyright laws here. But we also have polar bears roaming the
streets and attacking people :-(.

...i just love when companies get screwed over like this. they can stick their 'power' in their powerless bottom :)

I remember to read that they had the "ifpi.com" domain name for a short time, who "ifpi" stands for an anti pirary organization and their website is at ifpi.org. They lost it in a WIPO Dispute Process, they lost mainely because they named their website " International Federation of Pirate Interests " :)

yeah :)
then TPB has also a small "record" here in italy.
from some years in italy is started the censoring of the websites through the modification of italian DNS (the official pretexts are the usuals, the real reasons are others) and TPB was the first (as far as I know) to have been blocked for some days not only at DNS level (bypassable using DNS outsize italy like opendns) but even at routing level too on some ISPs... shame.
that case was a little scandal here.

if it comes to piracy, nothing can stop it and i mean NOTHING. there is no 'cure' against piracy.
instead of asking shit loads of money for shitty games and software, they should make it free and add 'donation' button. look at wikipedia for example, they got over 5 million usd in 2-3 months ! from donations.

its always like this, if you ask money for something, then nobody wants to pay and looking for another way, but if you give it for free, then ppl start offering money for it.

whining on some torrent site/s, is just very pathetic, but ofcourse its really funny to read this :)

Apparently they are changing owners soon. Many people are pretty upset about it... and TPB is going to include an account deletion system for those who wish to remove their account before the change.

after that move Sunde has lost all its credibility.
but after all he had no other choices after the negative result of the lawsuit, selling was the most proliphic choice: 5 millions of euros allow anyone to live without working any longer :)
