I know we're supposed to be living in an era where there's no good or evil, just shades of grey, but this trial is an exception.
It's a bunch of Corporate Slimefascist Democracy-smashing Pigopolists versus we, the people of Planet Earth.
Point 1: with digital technology, making copies has become incredibly cheap. Noone should pay $30 for a movie when the real cost (bandwidth, electricity, infrastructure) is three cents, or less. Reduce prices, we'll buy and rent stuff legally. Anything less is like trying to overcharge for candles while restricting electricity supplies -- sheer idiocy, and an idiocy without a future.
Point 2: Torrenting is a non-commercial activity and therefore NOT a copyright violation. It's sharing data, that's all. If Pirate Bay loses this fight, anyone who ever bought a used CD is a music criminal. Anyone who borrows a book from the school library would be a book criminal. Anyone who watches a moment of TV at a friend's computer would be a cable criminal. Anyone who is literate would be an alphabet criminal.
