I need a recording of this, I can't read it with the proper cadence.
I think it might be in the cadence of "99 Problems" by Jay-Z, but, admittedly, I still find it difficult to read it.

#22Yes, I cannot believe that those guys are still running. Amazing.

#23I don't support illegal activity, but I believe this is a quest of freedom, not for getting stuff free as in free beer.
Why don't you support illegal activity?
I'm not the OP, but here is my opinion. As a rule of thumb I don't support illegal activities. Why would I? Most of the laws I agree with, like no murder/rape/robbery. However some laws I'm against. Like the public drinking ban in Norway, why can't I have a beer by the lake?
And on the topic of media industries vs. file sharing. I haven't really made up my mind. Especially after the media industry brought tanks and fighter jets to a knife fight.

I disagree. Free software projects like the GNU foundation or the OpenBSD foundation are striving towards freedom.
ThePirateBay.se et al are simply filling in on market demand created by the utter absurdity of treating digital data as if it was a can of tomatoes or a bag of crisps.

Yep, in Belgium you get: http://imgur.com/7qAwh I'm surprised - I wonder if it's the same thing in other EU countries?

Here's a shell script (last line Mac-only) to open the pirate bay, regardless of the block (at least in the Netherlands).

I dislike illegal activities but I don't think many things around this is illegal. Note that TPB doesn't host any illegal copies, they doesn't distribute any either. The only illegal is the users themselfs.

There is no "FOSS", Free Software is software which respects the users freedom, Open-Source software is software which allow the ability to study the source code(not that some Open-Source licenses is kinda like Free Software licenses too, but some are even similar to non-free software). They are two completely different things. Yes, I support FSF and GNU more than TPB of course.

The crime "conspiracy to commit murder" does not require you, personally, to actually kill someone, nor does it even require a death to occur.
