It was a bit out of context and nothing personal. Its just that its a constant whining about sweden being too easy on jail sentances. I reacted on one sentance and not the context. sorry. However: From: Wurzelbrumpft Subject: hi Starparty Date: 2/20/09 22:41 i advise you not to act like such an asshole you wont last much longer if you do Dont ever threaten me in my TL inbox again "Wurzelbrumpft", you stupid shit. I demand a ban on this idiot. | ||

Okay I understand your point and I actually agree, it's annoying when people whine about the jail sentences in Sweden being too short or too lame. In the context of this post however, I found it relevant to point out that the jail time they could be punished with is not to be compared to many other countries. Haha, Wurzelbrumpft got my back, chill out with the threats man. | ||

The prosecutor Håkan Roswall asks Peter Sunde, who is on the stand, when he first met Gottfrid and Fredrik IRL. Håkan Roswall has gained qute a reputation of being a computer illiterate these past few days, and that will prolly be further fueled by the response from Peter Sunde: "We don't like the term IRL, in real life. We think the internet is for real. We say AFK, away from keyboard." Cracked me up | ||

Brainwashing or not, this is a very credible newspaper in Sweden (probobaly the most credible together with SVD) and if you actually read the article you would see that they are only stating facts, not anything else. I wrote this as a free summary of the article, of course some of my views are showing through, sorry for that but thats just the way I feel (towards their characters, not TPB which I love for its functionality and thats its a forerunner for the free speech of the internet) | ||

Also how are pedophiles worse than murderers? How can you even make that comparison? Do you even know what a pedophile is? Being a pedophile is not a crime. I wont discuss these things here further than this post because as some pointed out this is the forum for discussing the trial not their dubious or not dubious personalities. I'm sorry for bringing up the subject, my intention was not to hurt any pirates feelings about there "heroes" of the pirating world, I was merily stating facts from a credible swedish newssite. And yes, I feel the pedophiles are worse than murderers. At least when they can't control their "needs" and abuses children. I see from your post you like to make a point out of defining the word pedophile as anyone who is atracted to children, when you (at least if you are half as witted as you think you are) know that I meant the pedophiles that actually can not control their need and molests children. Such a pedophile should have their balls cut of and be looked in and never ever be let out. A murderer could at least in some cases be excused by circumstances but a guilty pedophile never has an excuse. ever. this is not the forum so I won't post anything more on the subject, I just wanted to defend my opinion, | ||

Now I know the law actually says that an underage can never consent to sex, but it makes a difference to me morally. Many pedophile cases is actually both rape and sex with an underage, even followed up with murder sometimes, which is a big crime to be sure. The people that do this aren't just pedophiles though, they are pedophiles + rapists + murderers. However, if you're going to compare consensual sex with underage (just pedophile) with rape + murder of an adult (rapist + murderer) I would say the rape+murder of the adult was a way worse crime. | ||

It's basically inveitable, and as I see it this is a last stand to try to hold back evolution, which has never ever worked, and never ever will work. Today the big production companies take a fee for EVERY SINGLE writeable CD/DVD, Any type of external HDD (mp3 players) or to put it simply; anything that can store and replay data. The fee isnt big, but it was put there for this reason that people copy stuff. It was basically transfered from the ideas when this was applied to cassette (Omg long ago). It's all about the production companies... The artists themselves doesnt really make any money off of CDs, unless they're named Puff Daddy or Madonna, and have most often made it's profit in form of live performances and commercials. Everything is just too late for this, and they're doing it all wrong (especially our gonverment) trying to state a example of how "bad this is" instead of trying to find a more reasonable way for creaters to make money while they at the same time expand their own market and can use free marketing for all their products. There hasnt been a time in history where you have a greater cultureal *spelling* spread when it comes down to music. Should you work against this, or try to make it work in favor for everyone? Anyway, there is no way that PTB will loose this. I can't belive how unprepared the prosecution is for this and how sadly they've presented their case so far, even withdrawing their first accusation (because it wasnt plausable - which they found out after the first day in court, lol). Sorry for any confused wording and spelling - I'm really tired. :s | ||

So, all in all, people in the internet are way way more civilized than people on the RL. Like, we all share, and we love to share, and it being one of the most basic principles of human communication. We are so two years ahead of Humans... | ||
