Free The Pirates

Earlier today, the Swedish government raided the Pirate Bay . For those not in the know, The Pirate Bay is like a torrent search engine, where you can find anything and everything you ever wanted, but were too afraid/poor to buy.


I feel that the record companies and studios have been ripping off the consumer for decades now, and finally the consumer won't have it. With all the hubbub, the execs will have you believe that they are being robbed blind. The truth is that their profits are staying the same if not increasing.



Anyways, the Pirate Bay guys were great. They thumbed their nose at any form of authority, and openly mocked all of the 'cease and desist' orders that they got. In fact, in an age when people claim to be keepin' it real, the Pirate Bay folks were the platonic form of realness.
