Sees letter is dated 2004...

no Swedish law is being violated

Unfortunately, Swedish courts disagreed

Not at that time. That came after the us government pushed the swedish government to do something and they in turn "strongly hinted" to the swedish judiciary system that they better do something.

And finally the sentencing judge socialised professionally with pro-copyright lobbyists.

It is quite interesting that American corporations harass everyone, not just us Americans.

I got together with the other Americans, and we're cool of you all want to do something about them.

One day I hope to write a "go fuck yourself" email of this caliber.

If every peasant started treating his opressor like this, we might actually start getting results.

We would need all peasants doing it at once. One peasant doing it just means you get your head cut off, which unfortunately doesn't help.

Been using it for decades, never an issue for me. What in the world are you trying to download over there??

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But not run by the original owners. And the current team is really shady. I wouldn't trust downloading an .exe from there.

Good thing you don't download executables from torrent sites?
