TPB and friends on tour!

While the file-sharing spectacle rages on in Sweden, this summer, the Bureau of Piracy together with Teh Piraet Bey looks to the rest of the world and embarks on a journey that will take them throughout Europe with final destination the mountainsides of Bolzano, Italy and the Manifesta art biennial.

The Bureau will continue what started with the walpurgis ritual last year, with a re-examination party in the Italian mountains and the presentation of a new statement based on their recent experiences from the Scandinavian copyfight. The party will be open for you all and the whole project will be documented and shared with everyone. You know who we are.

Manifesta art biennale is held to be one of the most innovative art events of its kind and is highly respected within the contemporary art community. Their invitation of The Bureau of Piracy to Manifesta will expose the artworld to the fascinating KOPIMI way of life.

For more information go to the S23M project site. Please do. And please, if you're on the road where we're going, honk if you see our bus, say hello if you see us, and give us your mix tapes if you still have them. And if not, make some new and give them to us.

I wish you all luck with that. That crazy Swedish law is just the tip of the iceberg of similar legislation all around the world.
Too bad I won't be anywhere near where this cause is "touring."
Godspeed.

I would have to agree. You guys are fucking great. Keep it up. Also, in case you didnt notice, or maybe its just stateside, TPB is loading incredibly slow. Feds tryin something again?

Come to Plymouth, UK. TPB for LIFE!! =]
#15. Wieeeeeee - 07-10 2008
Good luck! If I would be able to do more then wish you good luck, I would definitely do it. I know for sure that it will take a very long time before all the people out there understand that this is all legitimate. If I'd be able to set up mirror sites or spoof IP's and build working servers, I'd help. But I can't (yet?), so I can only wish you all the best with what you do. I keep my program open, damn for upload caps and limits, otherwise I would seed forever...
#16. velcro113 - 07-10 2008
comparison, tpb == pirates, feds == ninja's

pirate pwns ninja
hollywood == viking
pirate pwns viking
copyright laws == cheese wrapper
pirates pwn cheese wrappers.


it is a fact!

BUS without GIRLS = = = GAY-BUS!
#27. Mr. Master D. Evil - 07-10 2008
@16

That you compare Vikings with Hollywood just shows how little you know about how the viking community was and what they did. And since real vikings is Scandinavians, but not the ones you see today, due to most of Scandinavia is christian now, I can't really see at all where you can put in Hollywood as Vikings. The Vikings never had money, they robbed the rich in england and such. :| They was the brutal pirates if you like :p which means they owned pirates :|

#35. skyspy007 - 07-10 2008
I wish you all the luck... Just to let you know that India is the best country for TPB, I've been there and you can get Adobe's and microsoft's all latest stuff for 100 bucks which is just $2.49.... and copyright laws dont really exist in India and well its your turn to give bribes to officials there... they will accept pennies too... :-)
#36. Dipsyskrull - 07-11 2008
Truly this is a great event! The world must be shown true Pirate Bay power from those who would lock it all away. If you visit the United States it would be a welcome air of freedom in a nation who is rapidly trading all of it away for a mostly FALSE sense of Freedom. I recommend starting in Key West where anything goes at the southern tip of the United States and if you all let me know in advance the first round it on me!
#37. Kylecs969 - 07-11 2008
I love tpb KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK LOVE YA GUYS!

Since everyone seems to be inviting you to the U.S., and in case you do decide to come, where you REALLY want to end up is in Las Vegas for the infamous DEFCON convention (DEFCON 16: August 8-10, 2008) at the Rivera. For anyone reading this who has been living under a rock, DEFCON is the annual hacker's convention. There are lots of way cool contests like "spot the fed" and more... http://www.defcon.org/

Lame bus.. Look to Norway and our russebusser. The craziest buses on the planet, filled with drunk 19-year old people and speakers. Big speakers. Last year one of the buses rented the same speakers (all of them) that Metallica has used for a concert.

#88. a420er - 07-14 2008
Thanks to The Pirate Bay for everything you have done and continue to do. One day the corporations will realize that in order to succeed they have to move into the 21st century. They rape their customers and rape the artists. The only ones making money are the ceo's and their lawyers. Long live The Pirate Bay!!! Nothing against corporations, they have just gotten a little too greedy and forgotten who actually pays for their jets. It's the artists and their customers!!!! The corporations add absolutely no value to the product.

#91. Overheated - 07-14 2008
Hi,
I’m making this post to help out all the others that have had the protection error ,when loading tiger woods’ 06 (plus others possibly).
I had played tiger 06 for a while, then one day I just kept getting a protection warning, and the program crashed back to desktop.
after reading for a while on various forums without any sign of similar cases, I decided to try a new approach.
Working backwards from what I had done on my PC.

After uninstalling various programs I discovered the problem.

I had a Codec’s pack installed...namely...ACE MEGA CODEC PACK..
After uninstalling this and removing entries from registry using tune up utilities...

Tiger woods’ once again worked as it should with no problems at all.

So if any of you out there have been pulling your hair out like me in frustration of the protection error....this is your answer.
Remove ACE MEGA CODECS from your pc and tiger will work.

Hope this helps

Yo.. Ho... and way to go.
And hey if the Feds are getting you down
F@$% 'em. This govenment of USA no
longer represents the majority of the
people in the USA, like they really matter
we could if we organized enough Americans
overthrow our government, but we realize it
would be a bad idea since Bush and Dick are still
in office, they would go all military totallianarism
on our a#@es.. as it is some of us are fightened it may happen near the end of Bushes term, since he is corrupt with power. As far as Copywrite law... Just ask your self were would Americans be today if they followed all the laws? I mean heck we were breaking the law to even come here, and some Americans that came here broke the laws of the natives of America.

Good Luck Fellas,

Kopimi is the next greatest thing. It's the greatest thing already, they just don't know it yet. Once they realize it, TPB will have forged the road and all they will be able to do is stagger down the path.

I wish I could go, but I can't because I just got out of prison and am on parole. Soon, thought, I will leave this fucked off country I live in. The Land of Rape and Honey. USA.
