I don't know. As far as I can tell, nothing has really filled the void from when Megaupload went down a couple of years ago.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I don't think I've used a torrent client in about 2 years now and I've missed out on very little. It's just more inconvenient to pirate than it is to buy/have a subscription plan. The only thing that it makes getting more difficult is TV shows, luckily though most of TV is ****.

Tp4 doesn't condone the download and viewing of pirated material..
Tp4 has never intentionally used any such material.. They were all accidents..
Tp4 doesn't even know how to use torrent..
Tp4 only watches wholesome material legally purchased @ the local bluray sales events.

I would think they would have learned by now they are not going to win against piratebay and just give up. All that happens when they do these things is cause a mild annoyance for couple day. I bet it cost them far more to go through the seizure process than it does for TBP to replace the hardware that are stolen from them.

fighting TPB is like fighting THE ENTIRE INTERNET..   it's not gonna happen..

The internet has been the BIG equalizer  against owners of capital...

I imagine they are more than aware of this and only do these kinds of things for the press so they can say they are working hard on it etc etc

But its a non issue to real people. No one cares about it but the MPAA/RIAA and their lawyers, who paid them to do these 'laws' in the first place. They are not impressing anyone else.

Not designed to impress anyone else. This is my assumption anyway. A person or a group of people with power(money) make demands on the police and they are at least half forced to show some sort of willing so come fundraising they don't get shafted.

Again these are my assumptions based on the fact that the police investigating these things arnt stupid and know full well that they could raid several server banks and the pirate bay would still be back up within an hour or two
