Ever since the internet really started to pick up steam, the go-to place to get pirated software, games, and movies has always been The Pirate Bay. As a result, copyright holders and prosecutors have been trying to shut down The Pirate Bay and put the founders behind bars for years. While prosecutors did eventually succeed in putting all the founders behind bars and charging them with hefty fines, they were never able to take down The Pirate Bay. The police actually raided The Pirate Bay’s servers twice and impounded everything, but it was just a matter of time until a new version popped up. Originally, it was just the founders relaunching the website, but now the founders are not even involved. And, with how big the pirating community is, it doesn’t seem like The Pirate Bay is going anywhere anytime soon. This video explains the story of The Pirate Bay and what happened to The Pirate Bay’s Founders.

"Do you think piracy is moral?"
It's definitely more moral than selling personal data to third party companies for money or tracking users on a daily basis.

These guys are legends. They provided access to information that was not available to people who couldn't afford it.

I grew up in Africa where minimun wage is less than 1$a day so my parents obviously couldn't afford 60$for a new game, so i would've missed those games and content regardless if it weren't for these legends, i am eternally grateful for whatever they did it made my childhood fun as a gamer and movie pirate

Let's put it this way. When I was a kid, my parents had a total income of $300 combined (we live in Eastern Europe). $100 go for food. $100 go for taxes and other shit. $50-$60 go for unplanned expenses. So the whole family of 4, has got like $40 extra money each month. That's your clothes, trips, sweets, toys and so on.
A single movie costs $30. Windows costs $300. Photoshop costs $500. A music album costs $15. You tell me, if it's realistic to actually buy any of these things. It was not a choice whether to pirate it or not. It was a question of ever getting access to it or not. These days, things are much better in the country and in my family in particular, so almost everything is bought and not pirated. But piracy is doing a great service to people who don't have a lot of resources. Many children learned languages, received education and gained culture thanks to piracy. Without it, we would have just been isolated from the rest of the world.

Love how piracy is referred to as immoral, yet more than 80% of companies and services wouldn't know morality if it hit them in the face, double standard?

If buying isn’t owning then pirating isn’t stealing

[ZafrasF]

They weren't wrong about piracy. There are plenty of people who can't afford a lot of the software as children but they become familiarized with the software and end up paying for them later in life when they can afford it.

[EE-xwsb]

I absolutely dont know how my life would have looked like without PirateBay. We're poor and things I needed as reference material or softwares or even books are expensive and this saved us. They are heroes man.

[maridegall]

These guys helped us soo much back in the days, we were poor and couldn't afford a lot of things. My daughters got quality shows to watch that we couldn't otherwise afford and we used it to get my wifes books for school and such. Thank you soo much Pirate Bay. You made a huge difference in a lot of people's quality of life.

[buwburbhbjeqbb]

Seriously these guys are legends. They provided me books, movies and other content which wouldn't have been accessible to me otherwise.

[raresandrei]

Piracy is not moral, it's a obligation. A duty each one of us has to do to keep the internet what it is. Especially in the age of live service and subscription spam

[cawashka]

I owe these guys a part of my childhood. Without them, I wouldn’t have played even half the games/watched the movies that I did.

[pritishbose]

the creators of the "game of thrones" actually thanked pirate users for downloading their series on a collosal scale. the creators felt humbled that their content was that great that people were downloading it like crazy.

[Counterhackingsafe]

From being persecuted by the law to becoming legends of the digital world, The Pirate Bay's founders truly embody the rebel spirit of the internet. Their story is a testament to the power of community and the fight for freedom of information.

[mattyk]

This is a great example of people power. We dont have to be the elite, we dont have to be seen as "important" but we can work together and overpower those who are.

[websterj]

These people are legends for people like us in africa, pirated softwares are helping us develop our communities. Many small businesses are springing up, powered by pirated softwares, people are running small photo studios using pirated photoshop. We owe these founders a lot. We are really grateful.

[matman]

These guys have had a bigger impact on the globalization of art, technology and information than all the top media companies combined. They gave people access to data regardless of nationality, wealth or censorship. Without them, I wouldn't have seen half the movies I've watched simply because they weren't available in my country. Corporations tried so hard to destroy piracy until they realized that the only way forward is to offer a more convenient service for a reasonable price.

Priorities of the American government:
Child labor in Asia for cheap shirts? "Fine."
Island in Caribbean for rich deviants? "Sure."
Pirated copies of God of War or Halo Reach?
"Crucify them!"

If buying a game doesnt mean I own it, then piracy isnt stealing.
