I guess danish law is a lot different but I still don't see how they could prosecute for not hosting anything but pointers to other files. It's just a dent though, all those hundreds of other sites will continue on as if nothing has even happened and they can't be touched since most of them are in law-free zones far as cyber goes.

There were many references to how the site is similar to Google -- as a search engine for .torrent files, in a sense. I’ve been hibernating all winter long :P

Hey, how have you been? Sorry, I really haven't been following the Pirate Bay thing recently. I've been very busy the last few days/weeks... Could you give me a summary? I probably shouldn't be so lazy and do my own homework but... Eastwood!

We want you to actually protect the infrastructure. I admit it. I am a mason. And Friday the 13th always scares me. Yes, it is all a nefarious Republican plot.
