Sign for Peter!
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, duty, mercy. This also goes for things of darkness; single heavy words: slavery, injustice, corruption, cruelty.
Today we pause and occupy ourselves with some of these heavy words.
The first are injustice and corruption. The injustice of a legal system that protects the unlawful privileges of the few and wealthy, while unleashing its blind wrath at the many, the innocent and the poor. The corruption of a legal system that turns its blind eye to bullying from multinationals and their mercenaries towards ourselves and to national threats from the US government towards Sweden (WTO blacklisting). We know of MPAAs bullying, we know of the bought policemen (Jim Keyzer), we know of hired hacker attacks against us. And we know of the injustice and the corruption of the machinery that this year sentenced 3 friends of all of ours to jail for aiding in crimes with no criminals.
But we are no longer amazed by this. The state of these affairs is since long known to all of us. We are no longer in shock when we see the wickedness of multinational corporations, of politicians and of the so-called people of justice.
But we're still surprised to see them not ashamed. And from this naivety of ours comes hope. We still hope that shame is something they have not left behind them. We still hope that they have not disgraced themselves so many times that they have become immune to it.
And from this hope comes another of those heavy words, with which we today must occupy ourselves. Duty. Our duty. It is said that the duty of youth is to challenge corruption, but this goes for all of us. And this duty is a great one. It tries our loyalty to conscience and our energy and will. Today our duty is to reach out to help Peter "brokep" Sunde; a legend that has done so much for our freedom and who because of this has been unjustly convicted.
Together we can show the importance of Peter Sunde and The Pirate Bay to so many of us – an importance that reaches beyond sharing of torrents. Together we can show the strength of the many to the few, the powerful, the rich and the corrupt. With 10.000 names on this petition we act with strength. With 50.000 we can have the Swedish government feel and act upon the shame that should be theirs.
You who read this, DO THE SAME!
i guess BUT the important is to save our pirate bay!
long live the pirate bay
may it prevail and prosper
There exist no real justice in the courts of the world.
The "elite" do as they like to protect their power.
In this case:
Its like cutting of a hand for drawing a copy of a banana.
Abuse of the justice system!!
(The maximum fine for murder in Sweden is like 7.500 USD)

Throw-away sops to moldy Marxist class-struggle propaganda are not a welcome inclusion here. (Few things are more guaranteed to instantly quell any rising sympathy on my part.)

I'm amazed that anyone is EVER in shock by this. Politicians are professional leeches who write laws to justify their thievery; judges are appointed by politically-created apparatus to, mainly, protect the asserted right of politicians to steal. The larger corporations incestuously intertwined with government are primarily interested in using the cudgel of government to smash competition.
None of this stuff is anything new (e.g., search Lysander Spooner).
Addendum: Sooner or later, the PB crew is also g
If you're going to be in a technology war (and you ARE) with well-financed governments, stop candyassing and crying like little babies whenever it gives you a black eye. Go watch Gene Hackman's "Enemy of the State", and pay attention to a key line of dialogue by him later in the film (when they take the offensive):
Brill: In guerrilla warfare, you try to use your weaknesses as strengths.
Robert Clayton Dean: Such as?
Brill: Well, if they're big and you're small, then you're mobile and they're slow. You're hidden and they're exposed. You only fight battles you know you can win.

we can win all together

done!
*Really?, mike18xx2 posted a very good comment and all you can say is "fuck you"?... and you don't even have any torrents...
So, basically what you're saying is that we should take arms to defeat the current political system. I'm on for that. So, when do we start.
I only wish it hadn't became what it has today. I signed this petition because freedom should be shared by all. I'm a proud member of TPB and will voice my belief when freedom is threatened.
BTW- I'm not a fat American who eats the crap McDonalds calls food >;)
Nos Somos Brasil PirateBay, e estamos em peso por nossos amigos suecia perseguidos pela velha águia americana - Viva Ernesto Che-Guevara !! Peter, camarada nós estamos com você !!

and i agree with the previous posts, when do we overthrow our current shitty covernments? when do we get rid of the currupted and cruel people we call polititions?
he wanted 10k by the end of the month... i think we might hit a few 100k by the end of the month ;)
We had Napster, they stopped it.
Now we came back with Torrents, and decentralized sharing. I don't see Madonna losing her multi-million dollar home, or any other of the successful artists. I don't see movies like Avengers being hurt, with earnings of 1 billion dollars(so far), and costing less than $200 million to make.
If the industry wants to cry about other movies not being as successful, they should stop putting out crap.
It's the people who say "we must squeeze every penny we can out of those poor fools". It's the greedy ones who say,"It's mine. mine. mine". These are the people behind the MPAA and the RIAA.
Well, you can have your fancy homes, and fancy cars and fancy wives. We have "Pirate Bay"!!!!!!
The people have spoken. Long live the peo

You're wrong -- because nobody powerful gives a crap about celebrity tripe like that. There's no money in it for them save TV ad-spots or mass attention being diverted from actually important scandals. Bread & Circuses, etc.
Such frivolities have nothing in common with the struggle the internet faces from a concerted onslaught of international government censorship.
Let us go for.... ONE MILLION SIGNS! *pinkie to mouth*
and mike18xx2 take ur pills and go back to sleep
-- You will not win in my life, ya hear? LOL
If this had been in August, there'd have been 200+ k signers already.
¡Saludos desde Chile!
Quebec, Canada is supporting you !
@mike18xx2 STFU and get stuffed. It sounds to me that you want TPB to get the hammer dropped on it. Seeing as you are here...with uploads of your own...you too must want this injustice inflicted upon yourself, other wise you would take your boyfriends dick out of your mouth, stop fondling his balls to free up your hands, and sign the damn petition.
No one cares about your pessimistic antics and bitch whining, so sit down shut up and enjoy the internet while you can.
Like one of the other person had posted, we were taught to share as a child but not as an adult. Really? That just goes to show you how greedy the Government, Politicians, and the people trying to shut down people like Pirate Bay are. They succeeded in shutting down the rest, now lets speak on the behalf of Peter and all the other people who were charged thousands of dollars for 1 damn song. Our time people!!!!!

Btw, How many times can I sign? Already did it 27 times (with 27 different emails of course!)

Judging by the increase in numbers so fast, it's gonna hit 30k within a day, but that can change.

Hell to these stupid governments!
Fuck all governmenets
So what? You could have TEN million, and TPTB will just ignore you -- and why shouldn't they? What *threat* do you represent, when power is the only yardstick they are concerned with?
Petitions are a waste of time, except as people-meets.

> you want TPB to get the hammer dropped on it.
Are you living in an alterate universe where this isn't happening already?
THIS IS ABOUT CONTROLLING THE INTERNET.
If you think it sucks now, just wait until it's like China or Syria or Saudi Arabia where YOU are -- full-blown George Orwell's "1984" in your face, full-time.
Toss "frog stew" + "civil disobedience" into your favorite search-engine, and read the first link.
Thanks everyone :D !!!!
In Australia, the government is trying to steal it's citizens guns away from them, to turn the country into a slave market. They are trying to completely censor the internet like China. They are running the country into the ground. All in the name of Greed.
Worldwide, the super-rich minority run the planet as a pack of Slave-Drivers.
One day, the majority of the population on this shit planet will rise up and take no more schtick from tptb, they will hang them high on a religious-like cross and leave them till they die from hunger.
Stand up and opress the opressors. Voice your opinion on this to whomever you can, at every possible opportunity.
We outnumber them many, many times over. Things will get worse before they get better.
LET'S MOVE GUYS, LET'S MOVE.
He need his freedom from these government thugs.
@mike18xx2 #, at least these people ARE fighting. What the fuck are you doing apart from sniping at people and spreading negativity from behind your keyboard you cunthole.
Fuck the New World Order.
Good luck Peter.
TPB is not about piracy to me but internet freedom.
I'm not American but I'm tired of the (self appointed) "World Police"
sign and share...
from America, you know america has your back peter.
I suggest everyone read Peter's Plea (addresses posted on the petition page) to see just how utterly ridiculous this entire incident is.
Where did all the anonymous Swedish bank accounts go? While people heard from news, that America offered some economical goods to Sweden, then actually America threatened Sweden with military force.
America is becoming the center of all worlds problems. Just like police in my "USA adoring" country, FBI has become worlds biggest and the only real terrorist organization.
But this is human. Define yourself, what is human and you'll understand, why we can't coexist peacefully. Each one for himself. Give damn about nobody. We are cold blooded, heartless, this planet's most dangerous carnivore predators. Sweet-talk, peaceful protests are pointless. The only way human talks is by money or with killing.
Die fighting or give up living. Human civilization has failed. Reboot.

Tweeted as well.
Lets over throw the corrupt legal system that feeds on the everyday person.
where every person agrees with each other and there
is no debate or arguments or anything like that.
I wonder why that is ? lol
The opposition can't see anything because they have
no ground to stand on and they know it !
we can win all together
Yeah; sure they are. "Fighting". Uh-huh.
And next week, if I merely have a DREAM in which I sign a net petition which nobody will read, that will also count as a new, emasculated definition for "fighting".
If you think I find all of your earnest hamster-treadmilling to be an absurd waste of time, just imagine how anyone in POWER is laughing up their sleeve at how they're imperiously sticking it to you while you bleat helplessly.
> Hey mike18xx2. Instead of grumbling about what DOESN'T work,
> how about tell us some thing that does? Tell us something we CAN do?
I already did. Again: search-engine "Frog Stew" + "Civil Disobedience", and visit the first hit.
If you can't figure out what to do on your own after that, then you might as well consign yourself to being a regulated tax-serf the rest of your life.
Let's sign brasilian folks!!
Vamos assinar povo brasileiro!
Now its your turn.

I'll sign it because why the hell not. It'll take me a good 5 seconds.
Absolutely.
Petitions like these are a tyrant's best tool for defanging an annoyed subject-class: it permits them to pretend they've done something, and then go home. They're an even more futile and insipid form of voting (which, unlike a petition, at least holds out the theoretical gossamer promise of change).
If Caesar had had internet petitions, Rome would probably still rule the world, as all those conspirators who (in real history) plotted to assassinate him would instead sit in front of their keyboards pounding impotently away.
I don't think anything other than full forename + surname would be taken into account.
If you don't do something now, you'll never see 200,000!
