Really, if we distill the arguments for copyright down far enough, it becomes clear that the idea is to perpetuate an obsolete business model.

Why is this flamebait? If GP had complained that he no longer got Win95 patches, he would have been laughed out of the room.

Another logical fallacy would be criticizing GP's post without looking at who the author of the post is.

Snail mail is much easier to track. All of my mail spam arrives in the middle of the day, so every evening, I just throw away what's in the mailbox.
Submission + - The Pirate Bay Founders Create DDO$ Attack (dizzythinks.net)
joelmax writes: It seems that The folks over at The Pirate Bay have come up with a Genius Idea for their 30Million SEK Fine that they refuse to pay. Basically, they aim to Have millions of TPB Supporters send small donation payments to the Law Firm representing the Media Industry of 1 SEK (Reccommended amount). Now, if enough people do this, the Law firm only has 1000 free transactions per day, so everything above 1000 transactions costs them money (2 SEK per Transaction). So lets say that this gets tons of support and 30 million people do this (Cost of fine) in 1 day. This means that there would be 29 999 000 transactions that cost the law firm 2 SEK per transaction. This would end up costing the firm $59 998 000 (Just under 60 Million, or double the amount fined). Thats a lot of $$$....
