and DDo$ Update
Written by: BP TEAM
Ok just so everybody knows where I stood in the Pirate Bay trial. I was rooting for TPB the whole way. Because to be honest I pirate plenty, hundreds and thousands of files to put it in perspective.
"Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm (aka anakata) recieved a bill for the 30 million SEK that he, along with Peter Sunde (aka brokep), Fredrik Neij (aka TiAMO), and Carl Lundstrom, was fined in the verdict of the Pirate Bay trial just over three weeks ago. The bill inspired anakata to devise a plan involving sending money to Danowsky’s law firm, but not to pay the fine of course which they say will never be payed. Anakata’s clever plan is called internet-avgift, internet-fee in English. Anakata encourages all Internet users to pay extremely small sums around 1 SEK (0.13 USD) to Danowsky’s law firm, which represented the music companies at the Pirate Bay trial. The music companies will not benefit from this, instead it will cost them money to handle and process all the money.
The plan can be called a Distributed Denial of Dollars attack (DDo$). The plan is an away-from-keyboard DDoS attack. DDoS attacks involve lots of users overloading the victim with internet traffic damaging their ability to provide services. Money, instead of Internet traffic is used in this case. The victim is Danowsky’s law firm which represented the IFPI at the Pirate Bay trial."
Now this was the best idea i have ever heard of! They were all assholes for doing it but when you think about it it is completely legal and they should be able to do it, but the update of this says.
"The DDo$ that was proposed earlier this week against the Danowsky law firm has led to the closing of their bank account".many people find IFPI’s (music industry) case against TPB’s founders, including judge Thomas Norström’s apparent bias against them, to be childish, making it a lot easier for some to justify their support of the DDo$.Can the Pirate Bay defendants actually use their supporters to overcome a court order, or is this just a revenge attack initiated by Internet dissidents who support online piracy?
Dissident: A dissident, broadly defined, is a person who actively challenges an established doctrine, policy, or institution. When individual dissidents unite in a common cause they may become known as a dissident movement.
^It’s that one.
That is just wrong. You cannot just change the rules in a split second! You cant just close peoples bank accounts just because you want TPB to suffer. This shows how Bias the judges and IFPI is. Also I can say that i dont understand how TPB owners are liable for anything at all. TPB is a website that allows for torrents, that is all. It may be called The Pirate Bay but the TOS clearly says that the tracker is not to be used for any torrrents with illlict material. TPB owners was not responsible for the uploaded material becuase thay did not upload any of it! So wtf...wtf IFPI....wtf Thomas Norström...
