I'll try this again: by what way or manner has TPB given, or pretended to give the right to make copies? Quote:

It is prohibitively expensive to investigate and try white collar criminals. And being white collar criminals, they are not accused of violent crimes. So perhaps we should do away with due process for white collar crimes. Either that or stop prosecuting them. |

I assumed you were asking "How can TPB authorise copying, when they do not have the rights to do so" Quote:

Try searching for "harry potter ebook download". That returns multiple torrent sites on the first page of results for me.

You said that I should search for "Harry Harrison ebook". The first result gives a list of 11 books written before 1963.

The site is called The Pirate Bay. They are not implying legitimacy. Is the court's argument that a site with the pirate ship as a logo is trying to give the impression that they operate fully under copyright law? For me it's just one torrent site, and it's not the top choice. And doesn't everyone know that including the word "download" usually give some darknet results? Will the next argument be: try searching for "harry potter ebook free download" and you will see more torrent sites? |

The one from Manybooks? Most of those are short stories from magazines, the only books are Deathworld and Planet of the Damned. I would have expected the first Stainless Steel Rat to be on there too, but maybe that came out after the deadline?

And they come as search results for ebooks. Why did you pick this as an example anyway?

I have posted an extract, and a link is available to the full judgement. You can just go and read it and find out for yourself what the court said. |
