 brokep, anakata and TiAmo. 3 names that we will remember, as the people who drove the stake through the heart of p2p. 

 TPB have taught us, principle is good as long as you're making money. Which is EXACTLY what MPAA and RIAA think.

 To think that I just bought and received 2 weeks ago a PB T shirt thinking that I was contributing something to "the cause", I supported your vision and also hoped that you would stay true to your cause. 
 Welcome to the realm of Napster, irrelevant and basically dead. 

 and as for "TPB is a Pirate Ship...and we need to work together to not sink..." yea thats true but when the ol captain is selling the planks from under our feet cuz he thinks its gonna make us faster thats when some are gonna say f**k it and jump ship. 

 Not Pirate anymore, it should be named "the bay". 

 To those who are saying "they did what anybody would have done" - you're missing the point. What has been admitted, finally, is that a commercial enterprise is, after all, the best way to go - you can make lots of money! 
 So what have we been fighting all this time? TPB owners have now made money off the pirated material. How is that different from MGM making it, or Sony, or iTunes? It isn't.

 What will happen to people who supported ThePiratebay and practically became pirates?I Remember them saying “We Cannot Be Sunk”.Well they sunk themselves so We’ll be “Abandoning Ship”
