Quotes
One of the lawyers: How did you meet Fredrik and Gottfrid?
Peter Sunde: I don't remember, but I assume it was in a chat room on the internet.
One of the lawyers: When was the first time you met IRL?
Peter Sunde: We don't use the expression IRL. We say AFK. But that's another issue. But, I don't remember that either.
Tomas Norström - District Court Judge: Got to know each other IRL? What is that?
One of the lawyers: In Real Life.
Peter Sunde: We don't like that expression. We say AFK - Away From Keyboard. We think that the internet is for real.

A Lesson about the greed that exists in society today

As one of the 25 million users TPB i feel incensed at the forces at work to shut down this amazing site. They claim to be protecting the Artists who make music and movies possible, but all they are worried about is 'the old way of making money'. It is a clash of generations, on the one hand you have the dinosaurs, driven by greed & getting filthy rich from the efforts of others. On the other, you have a bunch of realists, people who have realised that times are changing faster than anyone could have imagined.

The current model of Copyright has no future, it is an over priced relic from a time where the ability to share so easily was impossible. The Spotify/Netflix model is the only future for this industry.
