Pirate Bay Users Mourn
According the cnn.com, today, the Pirate Bay, is “under siege like never before.” The largest internet service provider which supplies bandwidth to the site explained that Sweden has not threatened fines unless it discontinues service to the Pirate Bay.
The site did not find an alternative web connection, therefore only having the Pirate Bay working for a brief period of time. This outraged users and prompted social networking sites such as Twitter to post comments such as “Goodbye Pirate Bay, I’ll miss you,” and “Rest in Peace.”
The Pirate Bay was adamant about its return online and yesterday, this goal was achieved. The site’s founders posted on the site a statement given by Winston Churchill
“We have, ourselves, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Internets,” the operators said in a statement, “to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.”
The Pirate Bay also issued this statement:
We have, ourselves, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Internets, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
Even though large parts of Internets and many old and famous trackers have fallen or may fall into the grip of the (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) and all the odious apparatus of MPAA rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the ef-nets and darknets, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Internets, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the baywords.org, we shall fight on the /. and on the digg, we shall fight in the courts; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, the Internets or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Anon Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in Cerf’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
