How The Piratebay Raid Changed Sweden.

— This is the biggest story on the net, it will take a while for the
major media to catch up to it. In short, all hell has broken loose in
Sweden after the shutdown of the Pirate Bay, probably more due to the
fact that the USA made some threats about it. Now it turns out that a
new political party, the Pirate Party is growing so fast that it
already almost as big as the Green Party in membership.More Here.

Well, it looks like the boneheads in Hollywood and the RIAA, along
with onerous new copyright laws such as the DMCA and other
restrictions, are triggering change. I'd be cautious. Today's youth
internationally are not like anything we've seen before. Their view of
the world is skewed by the media and new realities. When they see all
these restrictions, they see them done on behalf of fat guys who are
flying around in private jets with a cabin full of high-class hookers
while lighting cigars with hundred-dollar bills. They see rappers in
limos wearing diamonds and having their teeth removed and replaced with
gold for no apparent reason other than to spend the suckers' money.
They see mega-yachts and homes that are the size of a small college all
bought and sold on the backs of the kids buying music. Indeed, they are
seeing a different world than most of us did when we were growing up.
It's nuts. It looks unfair or, worse, exploitative.

Then they see old ladies arrested for copyright violations
because a grandkid downloaded a song. Dead people are indicted in
hysterical sweeps. Kids are threatened with ruination for
song-swapping.

They're not going to put up with it for long, I can assure
you. While I think any outrage will fall short of storming the
compounds of the rich and burning their homes, once the next-generation
youth finally figure out that they can take over at the ballot box, all
hell will break loose.

In a parliamentary system, a group like the Pirate Party, which
will quickly surpass Sweden's Green Party, doesn't have to win a
majority of seats to have an effect. In multiparty systems (unlike in
the U.S.), you have to form coalitions to rule, and all sorts of deals
are made for anything to get done. And I suspect that a lot of older
politicos are tired of being pushed around by U.S.
intellectual-property monopolists and would love to side with the
Pirate Party on the excuse that they "had to."

The Toronto Star ran the following piece of shit journalism:

Don't you just love.......

Islam.

Is it that hard to figure out the fucking common denominator that links these sick fucking animals?

Am I the only one that sees a link here????

Not all muslims are terrorists, yet every single one of these peices of shit is.

So was every 9/11 hijacker, the guys who bombed the Cole and the Pakistani who was recently convicted for plotting to blow up the New York City Subway.  So was Sami Al-Arian, Mike Hawash. Yes. Not every muslim is a terrorist, yet every one of these terrorists is.

Why is it so hard to figure this shit out?  What are we all afraid to say???

P.S. Maybe I need to reprint those Danish Muhammad cartoons too.

9-11 Be-atches!

Conservative author Ann Coulter sparked a storm on Wednesday after describing a group of September 11 widows who backed the Democratic Party as millionaire "witches" reveling in their status as celebrities.

"I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much," Coulter writes in her book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," published on Tuesday, referring to four women who headed a campaign that resulted in the creation of the September 11 Commission that investigated the hijacked plane attacks.

Coulter wrote that the women were millionaires as a result of compensation settlements and were "reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis."

A spokeswoman for publisher Crown Forum said it had set a first print run of 1 million copies of "Godless" and there were 1.5 million copies of Coulter's previous four books in print.

She criticized them for making a campaign advertisement for
Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

John Kerry in 2004, and
added: "By the way, how do we know their husbands weren't
planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is
dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy."

Asked by Reuters why she made such personal comments,
Coulter said by e-mail, "I am tired of victims being used as
billboards for untenable liberal political beliefs."

"A lot of Americans have been seething over the inanities
of these professional victims for some time," she added.

Coulter, a regular television commentator who is hugely
popular among some conservatives, was challenged on NBC's
"Today" show on Tuesday over what host Matt Lauer called
"dramatic" remarks, prompting her to say, "You are getting
testy with me."

Coulter is known for a combative column after September 11
saying, "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders
and convert them to Christianity." In one book, she wrote,
"Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do."

Man, Is She RIGHT! [KaptainSteve]

“IN YOUR FACE, HOLLYWOOD!”
Pirate Bay - Alive & Well!!!!

Full speech:

“Over a period of three years, the pirate bay has grown from a
small file-sharing site on a crappy ADSL-connection in Mexico to the
world’s largest distributor of culture and media of all kinds.

Over a period of three years we have kept on ridiculing the
threats from copyright advocates, and struggled to make as much as
possible available to as many as possible.

During the last two years, we’ve built a file-sharing empire the
like of which the world has never laid eyes on, a cluster of web-pages
and servers used by millions of people worldwide. During an ordinary
work day the pirate bay has fifteen million visitors. Which other
culture oriented site could even dream of comparing to that?

Even though none spreads more culture than we do, it is the
film- and music-mob that are trying to close us down! Over the years
we’ve received countless mail threats, all of which have been responded
to with appropriate insults. Never the less, we’ve kept on going,
without any interruptions.

The internet is amazing! The users of the pirate bay, all of us
together, send enough data to fill fifty DVD-R discs per second. Per
second! That is an enormous amount of joy and pleasure.

So what about the future? What will happen now, when the Swedish
state and Hollywood are making out like a newly wed couple? We will
keep on mocking their threats and ridiculous attempts at stopping us!
The pirate bay will be even more international, decentralized and
unstoppable!

After Bodström and the police tried to attack us, help has
poured in from around the world. Servers, bandwidth and economical
contributions are offered without asking for anything in return. The
people out there have seen how incredibly efficient bittorrent is. And
the people out there are starting to grow weary of constantly being
pushed around by the film- and music-mob.

I am happy to announce today that The Pirate Bay is back up!
After not much hard work everything that was up before the incident
last Wednesday is back up again. This time we’re firing with the big
cannons and say “IN YOUR FACE, HOLLYWOOD!”
So, you people at MPAA, Antipiratbyrån, Bush, Bodström, or whoever gave
the order for this pathetic attempt at an attack – give it up, and stop
messing with the internet! It’s a battle you will not win!”

The
National Security Agency has been collecting domestic calling records
from major telecommunications companies, sources told USA TODAY.
Answers to some questions about the program, as described by those
sources:
Q: Does the NSA's domestic program mean that my calling records have been secretly collected?

A:
In all likelihood, yes. The NSA collected the records of billions of
domestic calls. Those include calls from home phones and wireless
phones.

Q: Does that mean people listened to my conversations?

A: Eavesdropping is not part of this program.

Q: What was the NSA doing?

A:
The NSA collected "call-detail" records. That's telephone industry
lingo for the numbers being dialed. Phone customers' names, addresses
and other personal information are not being collected as part of this
program. The agency, however, has the means to assemble that sort of
information, if it so needs.

p2p news / p2pnet:- Communist China, already in trouble with
American entertainment and software cartels for failing to put a stop
to the thriving underground counterfeit production industry, is also
now under attack for its burgeoning p2p streaming TV enterprises.

And
ironically, for a change, commercial p2p companies aren't in the firing
line. Instead, the likes of Microsoft and RealNetworks are named as the
preferred delivery vehicles.

A ?rising number
of people? are using software such as the for-the-moment free
Coolstreaming, PPLive and SopCast, a Fudan University student project,
to snag shows from stations including HBO, ESPN and MTV and now, ?the
practice is spreading to Europe, where users have begun tapping into
the Chinese services to watch European soccer matches unavailable on
their local TV channels,? says the Wall Street Journal.

And
this in turn means the genie is out of the bottle, says BigChampagne?s
Eric Garland. American pirates could use the technology to stream feeds
from US channels, ?which could mean U.S. programming beamed free around
the world,? the story has him saying.

Called
P2P Streaming Internet TV, the main CoolStreaming network site is,
significantly, in English where PPLive and SopCast are mainly Chinese,
although that'll probably change soon.
