Title: Pirate Bay Has Been Raided and Taken Down: Here’s What We Know

The popular file-sharing service Pirate Bay was taken down today following a raid in Sweden by police who seized servers and computers.

The Pirate Bay portal went down Tuesday morning after Swedish police raided a server room in Stockholm over alleged copyright violations. In addition to its file-sharing section, Pirate Bay’s forum Suprbay.org was also down.

“There were a number of police officers and digital forensics experts there. This took place during the morning and continued until this afternoon. Several servers and computers were seized, but I cannot say exactly how many,” Swedish prosecutor Fredrik Ingblad told Radio Sweden.

Pirate Bay may not be the only target. According to TorrentFreak, other sites related to file sharing such as EZTV, Zoink, and Torrage went down today as well, though it’s not yet known if they were also raided.

Yes it is ok.
Mind you the quality of downloaded products is not even close to DVD quality which is not really aceptable for such a well known establishment such as Pirate Bay.

It is if you're a cheap skate, download and never buy anything. Unfortunately many people are scammers - download blue ray versions of movies they really like and never drop a dime for the real thing. No even a dvd release for a few bucks.
The pdfs I've downloaded have been purchased via ebay later.  
Fundamentally I understand where you're coming from it should be like many rippers state in their .nfo - try then buy.

Yawn, shit will still get made, albeit with far less cgi and other bullshit, but shit will still get made.


if you know anything about how this is financed you'll understand the bulk of the money is miles from having anything to do with creating actual content.

are u kidding me, movies games etc are way too expensive for what they are. 50 or 60 bucks for a dvd/blu ray/game? Most of them suck balls anyway? worst investment ever.

If movies , games and softwares were cheaper i d buy them, as simple as that. ATM i only pay for multiplayer games that require to be conected constanstly. Btw for one guy who pirates shit, there are 10 average joes who buy the 60 bucks dvd/blu ray at walmart. Not going to shed a tear for the "poor" majors.

No that's true but I did take some pirate dvds from some Asians back in the day. They used to lay out their pirate dvds on rugs in town center and be a general pain in the arse offering their crappy copies while you're eating in kfc or whatever.  Well one day I just decided to take a couple, I thought what you gonna do, grass me up to the rozzers?
copies sounded like they were filmed in a wind tunnel, shitty cam jobs. Can't believe those guys would actually make profit on that shit.

It's theft.

If you were actually smart enough to ever conceive a piece of intellectual property, you may feel differently. Seeing as how you're not, I don't expect you to understand the concept, and you're not worth any more of my time, you ignorant piece of shit.

I "cut the cord" and scrapped cable TV at my house 2.5 years ago and have never looked back with the help of The Pirate Bay.

I do miss my Robin Meade wake up call in the AM though and watching MotoGP races live.

I also have zero guilt torrenting Adobe software which is priced ridiculously.  I still buy the actual CDs of the bands I respect to support them.  The rest I have no problem grabbing for free.  

Once you become accustomed to the unlimited free videos, software and porn it's almost impossible to go back.

The reality is these companies still get money from you pirating.

They get exposure, if it weren't for this breaking bad, soprano you name of it wouldn't be talked about and some freeware version would.

This is the problem with this bullshit.

They need stuff to be pirated.


Even people like myself who pirate every still dish out alot of cash in enterainment.

I spend alot of movies seeing films in theatres, alot paying covers at jazz bars etc.

A person only has so much money to spend on content.

If people didn't pirate(as youtube can atest) there is tons of free shit out there.

But remember that TV is used to align you into society and make you a robot. A lot of politicians and companies trying to influence you in morning shows and commercials.

Downloading is entertainment with less bullshit.
