Pirate Bay: The RIAA Is Delusional and Must Be Stopped

"In a rebuttal, The Pirate Bay argues that the RIAA is delusional, behaving like a spoiled kid that has lost touch with reality."

I hate the RIAA as much as the next guy, but come on. The pirate bay disrespects all content holders by allowing their content to be searched and downloaded (yes, I know it's only torrent/magnet files) without their permission.

I would actually respect them if they did something actually innovative like create their own music label and get big names by offering better contracts.

It will never happen because it was never about the content holders in the first place. It's all about this selfish entitlement that they somehow deserve your content for free.

I also have to laugh when the guy from the pirate bay comes out with his own donation site (flattr I think)...and charges a 10% surcharge. Even Paypal is less than that! It's one greedy and self-entitled group against another.

I, personally, despise both of them.
