The hunt for the cofounders of torrent site The Pirate Bay was a lengthy game of cat-and-mouse, spanning several continents. In the end, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Gottfrid Svartholm all ended up in prison.

IIRC, the US accusers even quoted US federal law at TPB in emails preceding this. They had probably just assumed TPB were US based and this response where how they found out.

I'm still salty about Sweden bending over about this, tho. Sovereignty is a lie.

There are tolerated quirks, and then there is insubordination. Defying US Copyright Law would have been the latter, it was not tolerated.

One day I hope to write a "go fuck yourself" email of this caliber.

If every peasant started treating his opressor like this, we might actually start getting results.

We would need all peasants doing it at once. One peasant doing it just means you get your head cut off, which unfortunately doesn't help.

Some truth in that for sure.

I was talking more about when you get a chance to dunk one these clowns and you can do without getting hurt or you are willing to take calculated risk. Do it!

Most plebs now either too scared or otherwise unwilling to some basic FAFO and this made owner class brazen

Piracy is one of the best tools to tell the regime to get fucked IMHO

Seeing them bent our of shape over it is some of the best cope entertainment out there

This puts me in mind of Arkell vs. Pressdram.
