ohh.. and almost forgot an important view people seem to forget here :) Someone said about understanding poor people doing piracy (where noone get's physically hurt ofc).. One MAJOR thing to remember people.. if a student with a very little to none income downloads a mainstream film for free and sees it does not mean he or she would have bought it.. even if it was avaible in a store 20 meters away.. and why not?

The name alone is just wrong. I think it may be a good thing that the Pirate Bay guys went to prison.[/quote] Yeah, It's a VPN as said in my article. However I think this will only increase piracy amongst people since it makes it more private, and possibly faster.

I've read most of the post and there are many interesting views to this. I would simply like to share my views and see what you think too. Being from Sweden and all I could say that media has covered this fairly well. First off, they only had a site with tons of links from where you could download stuff.
