[pp.int.general] The Piratebay

[Aleksandar Blagojevic]

Hello Andrew,

What about braking the law intentionally in order to wake up the law
regulators?! That is common practice in US I guess(?).

So, defending yourself on court could be a epic win if you just "show" the
real pirate statistics? But I know, you will be buried by the giant lawyer
hired by the big company. This situation always makes me to think about flaws
in US legal systems... -> more money u have more justice u can buy...

and not to flame but to conclude:
In my humble opinion the idea is to mobilize people to make "digital but civil
disobedience acts". At least I am doing it in Serbia. And I do it in every
country I visit and call everyone to do the same!!!

and yes, US democracy works selectively...
