I say this because one of the guys who have been condemned, and the more vocal and outspoken one, Peter Sunde, has confirmed his coming to Brazil in 27 June for the 10th "edition" of the International Free Software Fair.
What impressed me the most in the article was his declaration. It's a new ground we're treading, I guess, and he doesn't seem to be much intimidated by the first sentencing: he said openly that, even if he had the money to pay the fine, he'd rather burn it!
This battle over what many regard as unlawful and unethic file sharing won't be an easy one, I guess.
I dunno. When it comes to overpriced crap or rare music/movies that I can't buy anymore, I've been on both sides of the fence. That is, I've found it somewhere or I've downloaded it illegally. I have to say it really is more satisfying to pay for things. It's even MORE satisfying to work for something and THEN be able to pay for something else... in my mostly unemployed life it took me a long time to figure that out of course.
That's just me though.
Hi, dear Mr. Mercury!
I hope you're doing fine.
Sorry if I am bothering any of you guys.
Do you know how this has been developing?

Hi Yara, Im doing fine thanks - how about you?. Hows your Sunday been so far?
Unfortunately I have no more info regarding the Pirate Bay guys. Zeb is right though. Downloading was ok up to a point I suppose but it is better to have the actual product to hand. I mean its not the same when you cant admire the artwork that has gone into some albums
Sorry I couldnt be anymore use to you at the moment, Yara
