If the both sides use the nukes, there will be no safe place on the planet to hide. MAD will see to that. Just see what happened when super volcano Mount Toba (now Toba Lake on Sumatra) exploded 70,000 years ago. It wiped out almost 90% of all of life on the planet and the humanity had to start all over. The safest place then seem to have been Afrika. So, yeah, we all seem to share the same genome with those few thousands of African mothers.

Oh, get yourself educated! There were over 3900 tons of high-explosive and incendiary bombs dropped on Dresden. In the case of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it took only one device (each) to flatten several square kilometers of the city center and kill thousands of people for several years after the bombings. There is plenty of historical film and photos, both US and Japanese to educate yourself.

Oh yes, The Guardian, the people that created all this mess for Julian in the first place, by not redacting the source data from wikileaks. And I certainly believe that the courts follow the agenda dictated by their governments.

Yes, well, as long as you follow due process, everything is legit.... So, by the same token , if I write write a name of the a movie, or a song, or a book, followed by 64 characters in my notebook, I am committing copyright infringement. Let me rewrite that for you: As a general matter, copyright infringement is anything that RIAA deems to be copyright infringement. The funny thing is, how did they know what was on TPB servers, the police raid earlier did not confiscate any TPB servers. Only some other companies and organizations like Piratbyrån, and their ISP.

Yes, because the honorable judges are beyond all reproach and all the verdict are correct. Nordström was the presiding judge and controlled all the narrative. Who are we, the common plebs, to comment on such high standing people. From Peters tweets during the trial it was quite clear how desperate judges were to find something to pin on TPB. The verdict was preordained by the Uber Lords that be. It was just the matter of finding a legal wording. It's the cases like these that make me worried about judges impartiality in any given high profile case. There are always some hidden agendas. BTW, all those million of dollars they were ordered to pay, never got paid, they simply didn't run TPB for profit and had no fortunes of their own as the prosecution speculated.

So that does definitely not fit to what TPB was doing, and still do, BTW. Interestingly: "The trial took place in Sweden in 2009. The judge who presided over the case was Tomas Norström. However, his impartiality came under scrutiny as it was revealed that he was a member of pro-copyright organizations, leading to accusations of bias."

They did not need permission to host indexing files. The companies do not own IP rights for the indexes. It is almost impossible to explain how torrents works to laymen. It's just beyond their comprehension level. And let's face it, the legal entities in the court didn't had a clue about what was discussed. At that time I was following Peter Sunde's tweets from the court house. You're just quoting dry data from Wikipedia. Try torrentfreak.com for real information about the trial. There is also a documentary made, "TPB AFK", but you would probably have to go The Pirate Bay to download it

Exactly, there were no illegal files hosted on their servers. But that's totally off topic for this tread, so let's not bother continuing.

Yes, some people get confused by simple facts.

Yeah, finally!!! Perhaps that will prompt some more EU countries to do the same. Taiwan is the next one to officially recognize, please.

Actually, the full Thai name of Bangkok is: Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit Try to remember this next time you want to impress your Thai friends.

Exactly, sentenced by the judge who at the same time was working for RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). No conflict of interest there, right? Obviously you're just quoting dry data from Wikipedia, and are not aware of the full story or the follow-up. They were convicted on the bogus charges, but the best thing is that the police did not confiscate any of the TPB servers. They were located at a different locations and TPB was up 3 days later.

Because the US of A is Sweden's overlord, and dictates to the Swedish government what to do in cases which they have an interest in. He might not even have been extradited, but just disappeared. Some American alphabet agencies are very good at the disappearing thing. Remember the raid on TPB servers in 2006 and the following court case? The TPB did not break any Swedish law, and the primary judge was later found to be a legal consultant to RAAA. Coincidence? OH NO! Conspiracy theory CH would say.

The article is written in a very vague wording. What Javid belies is totally irrelevant as it has not happened yet, and does not reflect the reality. In fact the wording in the document from the US is also very vague. We all know that politicians and legal entities love to write with a lot of ambiguity just to cover their arses and do what they please in the end. Sorry for edit, Regarding the first link, what governments (i.e. politicians) and in this case åklagarmyndigheten says is not necessarily true what will eventually happen. Just quoting the law book is not the same as implementing it... Remember the famous words of Bill C. "I have never had sex with that woman..."

C'mon CM. Don't play dumb. POTUS that was in charge when those atrocities were committed. Shoot a Reuters camera man, and you get a medal? Really? National security? Really? Life's in danger? Well, actually, life's been taken. Just listening to the cocpit conversaion makes you puke. So much arrogance and vitriol.

That would be the POTUS. Just to educate you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander-in-chief

Ah, what a lot of BS, talk about conspiracy theories. I suppose just like all our hero Snowden. Russian agent too, huh? Do you wear a (commie red) MAGA hat too? On the other hand, we could sacrifice Steven Seagull, nobody will miss him.

He's not an American citizen. Are you implying that American jurisdiction now rules the world? And you don't know what possible verdict there would be. Death penalty is one of them, but 200 years jail term in a maximum security prison is much similar. Personally, I would chose death.... One of his objections to the extradition is that as he is not a US citizen, he would not be afforded the same legal rights. Also, do people staying in a normal prison just get up and flee? Haven't heard that yet. You are obviously a former law enforcer or even a legal person, with an undeniable trust in the legal system. C'mon CH, take the red pill and face the reality. And, as an aside, I think that everybody should watch that helicopter footage before making up their mind. Undeniably disgusting, and just showing the arrogance of our new Master Race. They and their Commander in Chief should be on trial, not getting medals.

You didn't answer my question. So skipping bail is a crime on par with terrorism or premeditated murder? OK, next time let's erect the gallows for all those bail runners. Even if they run the bail for minor crimes, or as was the case of Julian, a request for an interview by the Swedish DA.

And you know this how? "The wheels of justice grind slowly. But even if it takes 50 years, we guarantee you'll get justice".

Yeah, I get you. Skipping bail for no offence get's you locked up in a high security prison together with terrorists, rapists, murderers, serial killer and such. Oh, sweet justice!!! Is everybody who skips bail locked up in Belmarsh?

And the farce continues. Just let Julian go. He has suffered enough just for exposing the dirty deeds of the US government and their dirty war. This is just comical. The court grants him the right to file an appeal. So back to Belmarsh and pickle there for the next couple of years, while the "justice" is being administered. This issue should have been resolved within a year of Julian being picked up from the Ecuadorian embassy. Any reason why they keep him in a high security prison? Is he such a dangerous "criminal"?

Right, we all know the governments follow the written rules and treaties. If he went to Sweden to face those bogus sex charges, he would have ended up in US custody. There is no doubt in my mind about that. So what about those secret CIA torture sites in Eastern European countries, is there a treaty for that too?

Release some cats in the area. They will sort them out in no time. The cats will probably not even eat them, just like the hunt and kill. Great predators... Didn't have rodent or squirrel problem since my cat moved in. Got a few "gifts" from him too. And better than a guard dog, bites anybody he doesn't recognize, unless they are with any of us.
