Pirate Bay founders convicted

Anyone out there use The Pirate Bay?

File sharing four convicted

I use that site all the time. I don't see how they lasted this long. Maybe Torrent is a copyright loop-hole that may be too difficult to close.

Just so I can still find Top Gear somewhere, I'm happy.

Sand walls against the tide. It won't stop peer-to-peer. Not for an instant.

Piratebay.org is great for music. For anything else, mininova or isohunt are better.

You need a torrent app µTorrent works well, www.utorrent.com/

Once you've got the torrent app downloaded and installed, if you download a torrent, the torrent app should start up and download your file(s) right away. If you've downloaded a torrent and not yet installed the software. Install the software. Once that's done, you should be able to double click the torrent that you downloaded. It'll then start downloading the file(s).

What's in a name? Pirate Bay is stealing? Ohmy!

Just took my car to Rip-em-off Garage.

Just dropped my kids off at Pedophiles-R-Us Day Care.

Just had surgery at GrimReaper Medical Center.

I love piratebay...that sucks for them.
But I don't think it will have much affect on file sharing via torrents.
