PirateBay doing well..

Swedish file sharing site the PirateBay strikes back at Hollywood and at those who want to censor our internet by saying they can encrypt the whole internet going in and out of any computer. This makes any control from the authorities impossible. So long live the PirateBay and may Artists like me use it to distribute their music, it´s way better than putting it on MySpace and generating ad money for Rupert who is way richer and owns most of the media anyway...


The PirateBay even gave a diploma to the King of Sweden recently
The Diploma is a congratulatory diploma about our joint efforts in making Sweden famous globally when it comes to technology and culture.

The diploma is mostly in Swedish so here's the translation for the ones who do not speak swedish:

"To the King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf,
We hearby give you this diploma as a sign of our appreciation.

We have in a great cooperation made remarkable progress in the fight for positioning Sweden as a prosperous nation regarding technology and culture.

In these progressive days we've spread more files than ever. We've made history.
We now have the honour to report that The Pirate Bay now archives 200 000, by the citizens donated, documents of culture and we're tracking more then 500 000 cultural treasures globally.

This is a new world record."

We hope the King will appreciate our efforts and we have asked for an audience with the King or preferably the princess Madeleine.
here is the Princess!
