Appeal all they like, the prosecutors now have all they need to get stuff removed from the site, and the RIAA and MPAA have pretty much seen the gate open wide.

These guys will be buried so far under paper they will need a snorkle just to breath.

Forest I expected more from you, LOL.

This is just a war in a long battel to stop pirates and thieves. It's not the end. Plus Lawyers cost money and that's the key to this.

I don't care if they go to prison, I want to see them lose their homes like others they hurt have.

sorry to disappoint Paul but I am a realist.

As much as I would like to see this judgement kill pirates its just not going to happen

its the laws of supply and demand. Look at the drug war the US govt has been waging for 30 years. and there is still more supply (from what i hear) then ever.

As long as there are millions of people looking to dl full length movies for free there will be a supply for that.

on a side note how are you feeling? How is Eva and the little one doing?

Sadly Forest you're right. For the consumers a Tube site represents a much better option than paid porn. Until paysite turn this around it will never change. Torrents are largely for the geeks and I tried to do it and it was not any use, after ages of downloading I ended up with a crap movie, at least I had not spent $30 for a months supply of them. LOL

For the record.
There are some very good site. But too few. We need to spend far more on the product and far less on dragging people to it. The money is there, the will to upgrade members areas is not.

On a side note the family is fine. Victoria is a delight and Eva is nearly mended. I'm feeding myself via a tube in my stomach 100 ml every hour. It makes me fart and belch the most vile smell ever. But it's building me weight back up, I lost 35 pounds over the last few months, and I need to before I go into the third chemo session. The good news is the doctors are very pleased with the results of the first chemo, too early to tell of the second.

I saw the committee of specialists last week and their change of attitude towards me was so good I cried. They think I have a fighting chance.

Paul while we havent agreed on many issues in the past I do think you are a decent guy with your head and heart are in the right place.

For what its worth... please email me your links and banner for both your content store and your program 468X80 sized and I will run them for you here. Hell send me one 200x600 for which ever youd like as well.

as i said above

------------------------------------------------

"TPB FTW

So the first verdict finally came, almost 3 years after the raid. You might have heard about it in the news...

You, our beloved users, know that this little speedbump on the information super highway is nothing more than just, a little bump. Todays verdict has already been appealed by us and will be taken to the next level of court (and that will take another 2 or 3 years!)

The site will live on! We are more determined than ever that what we do is right. Millions of users are a good proof of that.

We have seen that some people that we dont know have started collecting donations for us, so we can pay those silly fines. We firmly ask you NOT to do this. Do not gather or send any money. We do not want them since we will not pay any fines!

If you really want to help out, here is a list:
* Seed those torrents a little bit more than you usually do!
* Buy a t-shirt and show the world where your sympathy is.
* If you live in Europe, vote in the election for the EU parliament in June.
* Continue to build the internets! Start more bittorrent sites, blog more, start your own lobby group, create, remix, mash up and continue to grow more heads on this amazing hydra that we know as the internets!
* Do not be afraid of using the network. Invite your friends to this and other file sharing systems. Calm people down if they're upset. We need to stay united.

And say it loud say it proud! We are all The Pirate Bay!"
