"In March, two children, aged one and three, were beaten to death with a hammer and their mother was severely injured by an intruder, in a small Swedish town called Arboga. A German woman, who had a brief relationship with the father of the children, was convicted of the crime last month.

At the beginning of her trial, pictures from the autopsy of the murdered children surfaced on Pirate Bay, causing outrage in Sweden. The parents of these children contacted the site, urging them to take down the photos. When they didn't get a reply, they wrote again only to get the reply: "What's with this ****ing nagging? No, no and again no!"

Pirate Bay has since apologised to the parents, saying that the reply came from a moderator who gets a lot of stupid emails and had lost patience. Still, the filesharing site refuses to take the pictures down, stating that it is firmly against censorship on the net."

Pirate Bay: why 'naming and shaming' may not keep offensive content off the net | Media | guardian.co.uk

You'd have to be a sociopathic freetard to defend this. Quite a few PirateBay defenders here are displaying classic sociopath behavior.

*Grandiose Sense of Self - Feel entitled to certain things as "their right."

*Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt

*Callousness/Lack of Empathy

*Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature

*Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility

I'm all for Creative Commons, Fair Use, Freedom of Information (not Freedom to infringe on others' rights), but as far as I'm concerned, anyone defending PirateBay is just as bad as they are.
