Those of you who enjoy Bittorrent probably already know and use PirateBay. I never saw this page before but it's hilarious-- thepiratebay.org/legal.php contains a number of humorous responses to copyright infringement emails. The Pirate Bay is a collector of Torrent files, many of which are for copyrighted material. They don't keep any of the content on their site, however, and copyright law in Sweden is much looser than in many other countries, so it might not matter if they did.
"As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States
of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe.
Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here.
For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.
Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium,
will result in
a) a suit being filed for harassment
b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for
sending frivolous legal threats.
It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are fucking morons, and
that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.
Please also note that your e-mail and letter will be published in full on
http://www.thepiratebay.org.
Go fuck yourself.
Polite as usual,
anakata"
