    Re: Unauthorized Use of DreamWorks SKG Properties

    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 … 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,

  • I think that we in the west sometimes fall into the trap of believing that our core values of freedom and democracy are supreme and are what all people across the world want to achieve and should aspire to.

    Maybe a lot of people in China think that a strong centralised government guiding the economy and most aspects of people’s lives is the sign of a healthy society and they are happy with it. Maybe they think it’s we who are sick because we don’t like the state being too involved in our lives. To them, perhaps it’s complete insanity.

    Idk, I might be talking complete bs. I just think that different people have different values and there’s no right answer to how society is set up.

    In the UK you can be blacklisted from all sorts of services if you have a criminal record or poor financial history. And our police have experimented with facial recognition + have arrested people for posts on social media. Not to mention the Tory government trying to outlaw protest & dissent.

    But we’re quick to make jokes about China
