What TPB was doing was NOT illegal under Swedish law. Note that they are not being prosecuted for any type of copyright violation, because .torrent files are not considered the same as the files they connect to in Sweden.

You're right, they don't care. They shouldn't care. And I'll believe you when (assuming you live in the US since you can watch Hulu) you start allowing Swedish laws to take precedence over American laws in your day to day life.

And if you pick up an old AT power supply instead of any ATX one, you'll actually have a power switch for the whole thing, too! I actually had an old one that I used on a testing bench for this specific purpose. A bunch of embedded molex connectors, a master power, and the fun special voltages from the 20 (or whatever it was) pin connector feeding onto a breadboard. It was incredibly useful.

As soon as you upload anything to the internet you've pretty much waived any of your content rights you had.

Now when I say that I don't mean it in the legal sense but in the realistic practical sense. Anything digital is pirated and shared.

We even have karma whores that copy & paste other peoples insightful comments.

Kinda like how people claim fuel cell cars will be "zero emissions," but that's not true because they still have to build the car in a big wasteful factory?

I think most of us get that it's not really zero emissions. It's just easier to say than "zero except for all the waste created refining yellow cake and transporting and building the reactor and oh yeah then there's nuclear waste which is way worse!"
