Re: Pirate Bay founders jailed

Yeah, this is a bit torrent site - something like that - I was trying to 
put an image of a manuals CD for my car on there but never got a good reply.

They do have lots of Windows installation images, tailored and not 
needing any license key entered - already in there - and that would be a 
big part of copyright infringement - but is it the ones running the site 
that should bear the responsibility? The items do not reside on their 
server that I'm aware of - but the information on where pieces of things 
are.

1984!!
