We here in the states aren’t usually so narrowly stupid as to call anything “a typical Republican.” The only folks who do that are “typical Democrats.” See? Everybody can play this game, and it’s still stupid.

As for TPB – we’ll see what happens, but who knows at this point.

I do not care anymore what you guys think. Anybody who care a bit about uploaders who bring the most valuable content on Thepiratebay (pirates) must delete their account or upload only shit (virus, fake, porn). To the others, keep dreaming !

It’s amazing that TPB, when on trial, had nothing but the support and backing of the community, who called the trial a farce and argued in favor of TPB almost unconditionally.

Now they sell the company, one move which, given their history honestly doesn’t seem like it will ruin everything, and everybody abandons ship — just like that. I, for one, am going to see this through until either the ultimate flaming death of TPB (which will be a sad day), or proof that Sunde really knew what he was doing.

It’s a gaming company. If it turns out that they’re industry sellouts, then it’s too bad. But since when does the RIAA do microcrap’s buy-and-kill tactics? They’ve always sold or forced their targets out of business. This doesn’t look like the RIAA’s handiwork. Especially considering their “success” with the trial they already put the TPB through.

Just my $0.02

Sunde keeps talking like this is nothing more than the Pirate Bay changing hands. According to him, the torrents and tracker will still be there, just run by other companies making them harder to take down. However, I can’t see any real company actually running a web site that specializes in the trading of copyrighted material.

Yep, they need us, to make it worth it to the game company to buy it!!
If the users go, then TPB aint worth buying!!
So FO TPB, you chose your own death (i guess thats somethin) go ahead and

Tried to do a search on TPB today? Overloaded. Then hundreds of ‘click ok to leave, click cancel to stay’ windows open. Then you either shut your browser down in time or it crashes.

Yarrrrrr, the crew be scuttlin her! She’s going down in flames. The officers have lost control. Brings a tear to my eye-patchless eye.

Will the sale even go through? Not likely. Is this a pump and dump scam for the stock of the purchasing company?

Was it all orchestrated by The Man from behind the scenes? Did the site owners just get punk’d by The Man himself??
