I'd like to talk about it, but I have to say I have a real sense of conflict about it. The problem is that one of the key investor guys behind Pirate Bay - allegedly - is an extreme right-wing type with some pretty objectionable views - allegedly. Check out Andrew Orlovsky's note on him in the Register here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/26/pirate_bay_neo_nazi/ So many others have commented from a simply anti-IP perspective, but as always the truth is stickier and unfortunately in this case somewhat nastier that we might like. Having said that, let's see what the verdict is and then give its implications some thought... JS Hi Matt,
Now the Pirate Bay Trial really is worth a bit of thought. I’d like to talk about it, but I have to say I have a real sense of conflict about it.

So many others have commented from a simply anti-IP perspective, but as always the truth is stickier and unfortunately in this case somewhat nastier that we might like.

Having said that, let’s see what the verdict is and then give its implications some thought…

Even though slow and painful progress has been made in the 7 years since, the ambivalence is best exemplified and brought to stark focus by You Tube and it's seemingly scant disregard to copyright and yet ironically we also see "do no evil" Google having its fingers in that pie too.

Looking back on my remarks, I think I captured the ambivalence of those of us that "get it" who were working at the time inside the constraints of a very singular view of copyright as it relates to the commercial opportunities of the music industry.
