The topic of file sharing is a controversial one and I personally think that it should be allowed. For those that don't know, ThePirateBay is one of
the largest torrent trackers on the web. The founders were told to shut down and slapped with a 1 year sentence plus a $3.6 million fine.
They have been jumping ISP's and were shut down for a period yesterday. Looks like they are back.
Shutting down a torrent tracker will NOT put even a small dent in the volume of file sharing done on the internet. Even if they successfully shut TPB
down indefinitely, there are many other trackers and new ones will sprout up.
Thoughts?
