#24Nuke tests haven't caused us to invade North Korean but if this happens the MPAA could get it done.
as strange that may sound, it might become true.

#25I don't like it.
Putting the web's biggest P2P website in the hands of one of the most authoritative dictatorial regime - what could go wrong? Security issues anyone?
Seems fishy at best, and if true it is counter productive: it will not reflect well on TPB...

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is it possible that people in the DPRK refer to themselves as the 'Republic of Korea' in an attempt to deny/disqualify the existence of any other 'Republic of Korea'? (ie, 'The one true Republic of Korea' or something like that).
Why do communist countries insist on calling themselves "democratic"? If you're such a firm believer in that philosophy, why not have some pride?
the claim is that the majority support communism.

#29Well it's nice to know that "one of the most important movements in Sweden for freedom of speech, working against corruption and censorship" wouldn't let concerns over something as insignificant as totalitarianism deter them from "forming a special bond" with a state to distribute warez.
They acknowledge the irony in their own post - the only way that they can promote freedom of speech is by forming a partnership with the least free country in the world, not by forming an alliance with the supposedly 'free' countries in Western Europe/North America.
In other words, the Western countries' belief in 'freedom of speech' is starting to seem as shallow as the word 'Democratic' in the 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea'.

#30My first reaction: GET OUTTA HERE!! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING!
but oh well, I have a wiggly feeling in my mouth each time I read this, I don't know, whether this is funny or world changing or ironic or god knows what. The internet has melted a new barrier.
Cheers to THE BAY!
