Our case is going quite well as most of you have noticed. In the light of that it feels very bad that people are hacking web sites which actually puts us in a worse light than we need to be in. I just got back home and read on blogs that ifpi.se was hacked and the rumour on IRC now is that something is going on with ifpi.org and (my old domain) ifpi.com. If anyone involved in the acts going on is reading this – please stop, for our sake. We don’t need that kind of support.
The internets is having a fever and this might be a way to get cooled down. But I hope it’s over now and that we can go back to winning our case without taking these measures. The hacking can only reflect on us badly and if you want to help us, please stop with the attacks.

Illa valt tillfälle:-(
bara å ta avstånd från det hela även om det är rätt bra gjort, men som sagt illa valt tillfälle.
Men vilka jävla idioter! Tror inte mina ögon!
Det ända detta gör är att förstöra för pirater!
@Ratcher:
Bra gjort? Vid vilket tillfälle skulle det vara bra?
Vadå bra gjort, vilket jävla skitsnack. Hela grejen handlar ju om att ha ett fritt och fungerande internet, för alla! Finns inga rätta tillfällen för såna här skitungegrejer.
This makes me a Saaaaad Panda. Just as all the insults does – really, people are making fun of someone’s PRONOUNCIATION? What is this, 3rd grade? Shit…
Som utsvultna vargar kommer gammelmedia flockas och hugga efter de strupar som blottas.
Jag håller med rubriken!
Det skadar bara hela piratrörelsen!
Själv tycker jag det är fruktansvärt roligt att det verkar vara så enkelt att hacka ifpi’s site.
Om detta får fildelare att framstå i dålig dager så tror jag att det antingen är någon liten korkad scriptkiddie någonstans som inte begriper det, eller att någon fildelningsmotståndare faktiskt vill vinna sympati genom att köra med lite orent spel. Möjligheten finns ju, men hur sannolikt det är det vet jag inte.
Vad kan man säga, det här var ren idioti.
Hoppas att det inte får negativa följder i rätten.
Inte överdrivet genomtänkt att begå brott som återspeglar sig på en rättegång. Gynnar IFPI och ingen annan.
Detta ger bara våra motståndare en martyr stämpel som i förlängningen skadar denna viktiga framtidsfråga. Sluta hacka!
nån mer än jag som kan se motståndar sidan hacka sites, bara för att slänga skit på TPB?
Kan kännas långsökt, men vem vinner på det i slutändan?
Jag tycker det var bra (tror jag?)
Det får ju brokep att framstå som extra snäll ju när han ber dem sluta. =\
Nackdelen var framför allt att det texten blev till ett tråkigt och lite hotfullt utspel – de kunde väl ha kostat på sig humor eller en blinkning när de visste att de skulle få massmedial uppbackning. Charmen framför allt!
Herregud Mikael B, framstår någon som snäll när denne åtalade person blir upprörd och säger till att detta inte uppskattas? Och att hackandet inte gynnar saken torde väl vara uppenbart. Eller hela tanken med nätet för den delen, ett öppet nät.
Det är inte jättekul att vara åtalad och ansatt. Om några som borde vara på den rätta sidan därtill beter sig som idioter kan det ju kännas dubbelt upp. Och hacka målsägarens webbplats är idioti.
Det finns intelligenta sätt att stödja, till exempel genom att använda hjärnan.
[...] Däremot så är jag helt emot hackandet av IFPI:s site. Precis som många [...]
Kan inte annat än att hålla med. Även om det är svårt att motivera dessa arga ungdomar, som nog som så många andra känner sig förtryckta av ett sådant här övertramp på det svenska rättssystemet, att låta bli detta helt så är det något som inte får äga rum alls nu. De får bita ihop helt enkelt. Detta ger bara lobbyfolket en möjlighet att erhålla sympati och dra dessa illegala handlingar över samma kam som en helt laglig verksamhet som bedrivits på The PirateBay:s webbplats.
Lycka till i rätten, även om ni knappast ska behöva detta. Hoppas att denna cirkus snart är överspelad och att detta försvårar för liknande missbruk av våra skattepengar som kan tänkas komma att föreslås av giriga mediachefer.
[...] särskilt mycket stöd från folket som står på TPB’s sida, vilket man kan läsa på flera svenska [...]
[...] Read whole post “We’re winning, stop hacking plz” [...]
Yttrandefriheten gäller även ifpi kära hackare. Fildelare utmålas som troll redan som det är, hjälp inte till.
Äh, hur var det nu med att försöka kontrollera internet?
Håller med Lars. Ratcher på vilket sätt var det bra? När skulle det kunna vara bra? Det förstärker som sagt bilden av att pirater bara är ett patetiskt gäng kriminella.
Tycker dom ska sluta hålla på så. Dom förstör ju bara för The Pirate Bay gänget.
Lycka till med rättegången och se till och vinna

Our prayers from america are with you during this farce from the MPAA. Good luck..

Dear friends,
Little fools:) Don’t you see? The whole attack may have been done NOT by The Pirate Bay supporters but exactly the opposite.
I mean by some enemy hackers (sent by IFPI themselves?) who wanted to be seen as supporters but in fact who knew very well how negative the outcome will be for The Pirate Bay. No sane pro Pirate Bay hacker would do this.
I wouldnt be surprised if behind the whole attack is the IFPI or MPAA themselves. As they have done some illegal hackers attacks on The Pirate Bay in the past anyway.
As I said the attack DOESN’T mean it was done by any Pirate Bay supporter. Actually the facts suggest the opposite as IFPI is the one who wants Pirate Bay to lokk bad especially now.
Take care.
PS. You can also try to google translate this post.
I agree, good luck on the process, from Brazil. =]
Lykke til i morgen ja, ikke at jeg tror du trenger det
Hello Peter, i just want to say that is a good thing to tell the hacker to stop complaining about the prosecutor.

AllanP sa: “Det ända detta gör är att förstöra för pirater!”
Om det nu inte är en klassiker de kör…
Vi hackar sidan och skyller på piraterna så vinner vi sympatier… Samma sak har makthavare gkort i alla tider. Inget är nytt under solen!
Honeoxhaahketa youre absolutely right! It has been proven that if you can´t win a case on your own, it´s very efficient to plant an attack by yourself and blame the opposite side. The only good weapon against it is that we who study history knows that this is very common behaviour even from governments so why not IFPI?
Var ju på nyheterna och där satt just en gubbe ifpi och drog slutsatsen, “Piratrörelsen talar om ett fritt internet och fri information och så gör de så här”.
Givetvis kommer APB, ifpi och medieindustrin använda detta för sin pajkastning. Så sluta puu att ge oss dåligt ryckte.
wish you guys all luck, peace
Okay, I stop nowz.
We all support u guys.

Its like Lafayette’s plea to french people after 1789, to stop violence.
they liked him ( he is the lead of the group who worked on and wrote declaration of the rights of man ), respected him, but they were SO fed up with aristocracy and what they lived in their hands that noone heeded the pleas to stop violence against aristocrats.
its something like that. 3% of the population is trying to suppress 97% of the population like those times. 3% is the corporations and the i.p. industry, and 97%, the people, like the last time.
i dont need to remind you what happened after 1792.
VIVA PIRATE BAY

I agree with #29, that was one of the first things that came to mind.. it would make sense that they would use disinformation (in the form of ‘hacking their own website’ to make it appear that TPB is malicious) to discredit the defendants of this trial.

Hoppas verkligen försvaret fokuserar på att lyfta fram den egentliga lilla summa som går till artisterna, speciellt på HYRFILMER (som ju finns och är helt lagligt. Då går det bra. Hyra ut film i videobutiken för 50 spänn. Hur mycket får skådisarna betalt av det…haha). Men också faktiskt att NÄMNA det egentliga beloppet. De skall ju alltid få det att låta som om artisterna inte får mat på bordet för att fildelning sker.
Tvinga skiv- och filmbolagen att betala månadslöner istället till sina artister. Fram med fakta som folk inte känner till. Enda chansen. Media vinklar ju mot fildelning hela tiden.

good luck from germany as well!!
Don’t fret, bro… The hackers won’t stop. This is not about YOU!
The internets is having a fever… and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!
Jag blir verkligen vansinnig på att man inte NÅGONSTANS kan hitta ljudupptagningen på hela rättegången, så man kan få lyssna på det som sänts livestreamat. Varför finns inte det någonstans? Vet någon så var snäll och lägg en länk. Tack!
Lycka till!
The best impact that TPB can have for future generations is to win this case in the law courts, win it fairly and to be seen to do so.
Hacking and intimidating the plaintiffs can only do harm. If this goes on and TPB wins despite the hackers, this behaviour can destroy the legitimacy of the win in the eyes of the public.
Respect the TPB’s wishes and allow the court to decide. Don’t leave the verdict open to doubt.
espero que les vaya muy bien en el juicio por la libertad de todos.
Good luck
PETER! HALLÅ! du e BÄST! Kram SARA!
I’ve never been to PB, and the only torrents I’m into are FLOSS ISOs.
However, this war has been very entertaining for years. Thanks to PB for their courage and dedication to what they believe in. Have fun. Fascinating experiment.
haha funny
:D
chill down hackerz
Think about it. They’re not being hacked by your supporters. They’re being hacked by your opponents.
Yes! Found it!

Not just to Peter, but to all of you. From America, I wish you luck and the best of hopes. Keep the Internet free as it was meant to be and the information contained within open to everyone. I couldn’t physically be there to lend support, but know that I spread the word wherever I can and do my part. One can even see it in these comments… gentlemen, you’ve risen above your nation and become iconic international symbols. Symbols of freedom. Good luck my friends.
Thx, for a great blog. Only blog worth reading accept “the close ones”.
Im sorry about the hacking. I completly agree in the matters, that it does more harm than good.
Its all about marketing, i saw that one former poster said i could be a trick from opposite side wich is true, but could they think that far?
I think this comes from anger and frustration, like i dont even know what to do to help, i guess someone figure out the most sad way to express what we all feel.
I really hope you win, i dont see why you wouldnt.
But it still makes myself wonder, not that im a big dl.er myself but i know if i were around from the start i would be really interested to jump on.
Well hope the media gives you some rest soon, guess they wont but we can always hope.
Best wishes

Sure this has been brought up already but if the prosecution’s clients believe you have made enough cash to pay their damages/losses by distributing their content for free then why are they not already distributing their own content for free in exactly the same way?
Surely, certainly, indisputably, incontrovertibly there would be an ‘official’ pirate bay by now instead of a law suit. How to compete with a site that offers content for free? Offer content for free, surely? (certainly etc)…
Clearly (according to the prosecution’s supporters) that form of delivery provides equal or greater revenue than their current forms of distribution.
So they must just have never thought of it, even while drawing up the legal paperwork for this trial.
Unless of course someone’s telling porkies…..
Could it be the copyright industries h4×0rn to make you look bad because they are going to loose and they want to frame you for the hacking nonsence.
I think this trail doesn’t mean that much
for the government, they are now only stalling !
They already know the case is too thin and cant be won!
This trail is imho now only to lead the public attention
away from the government’s final work with the Ipred law
that are been decided on Wednesday.
However I wish you guys good luck to day!

Well, who says that the hackers are on tpb:s side?
Bahh. I’m not involved in any hacking – but, I wish I were. There is no way for me express my contempt for the parasites who prey on Joe and Jane Sixpack, offering little but demanding much, then trying to use the courts to enforce their idea of “justice”. Best wishes to Pirate Bay, and nothing but ill wishes to your witless accusers. And, sorry, but best wishes to those who are involved in the hacking attempts.
Yeah, I just want to listen to music that I woun’t buy anyway, and perhaps buy a copy later if it wasn’t so expensive. I don’t see myself as a criminal – I don’t want to get mixed up with hackers.
Wimps!
@ Honeoxhaahketa
Time to put on the thin foil hat ?
GL HF from Borås, Sweden.
It would be much more fun if these over inteligent kids found proof for piracy among the prosecutors and send the information to the news papers. That is journalitic work . But hacking sites is not any good way it only give you bad will.

Kanske inte fullt så bra källa, men men.
So by writing this you are admitting (?) that hackers are attacking sites on your name? Why? I mean why do you even consider that hackers attack any “IFPI” site to support your case? Why do you let other people make this connection? I would expect that even if hackers did so (attack on behalf of you) to deny it. Unless you have been prior contacted from them and they let you know about their plans, so you are kind of cooperating with them – and that is also bad to admit.
I would expect that hackers have their own agenta. If they feel like they need to attack IFPI (or any other site owner), they can do so on whatever reason they like – real or not. Trying to make them stop using your case as their reason, is a mute point really … unless you are in cooperation with them. You are, with this post, sadly giving weapons to IFPI to press more on the idea that you have connections within the hackers’ community that attack their site and you can even control them. So what would happen if you were loosing? Would you just let the hackers loose? IMO real bad post. Doesn’t really help your cause and make you look more involved to these attacks than you would like!
Best of luck to your case, which I feel is righteous, but be more careful at what your posts might allow people to think about you and they ways you choose to fight for your cause.
i heard that the guys at ebaumsworld.com are the ones doing the hacking.
someone should DDoS them
good luck to you all,
hope there is some way you can counter sue them in return

Go Piratebay. We will use torrents as long and as much as we want!
If I was your opponent, I would keep on hacking myself to illustrate “how bad you hackers are” and to defend my (indefensible) case in front of the court using these (constructed) arguments.
Keep up the good work at the trial and good luck, one (lousy industry on the decline) cannot stop a new way of doing things.
I’m not a fan of action that is extremely one way or the other, but I truly hope you guys walk away victorious with this one. America is on the path to Socialism and with so many Internet freedoms at stake, TPB carries a strong movement toward keeping those freedoms. Keep up the good work and good luck!
Agreed!
Keep up the good work & gl for the rest of the trial, you have our support, from all around the world.

Some moron hacked the nectarine scene radio site a few months ago, and wiped their entire database.
After seeing one of my favorite sites go down, my first concern wasn’t the political interests of the scrotoid little cunt who did it, I was more thinking about what would be the best way to have him brutally murdered.
Hacking helps nobody. +1
I believe you will be fine.
I agree! Starp hacking today!
For græt justice! For the wynn!
Peter,
I hope for you the best, we all support you man!
A: When I read the replies all I hear in my mind is “Bork bork bork”
B: TPB asserts that it is not responsible for how people use the website, hackers attack TPB’s accusers without any initiation from TPB, and does not respond/stop hacking because TPB told them to… your court case’s assertions are proven
Synd att de gör så, men lite komiskt var det.
more attitude plz
good luck with the trial peter! you guys are legends.
Sorry… but that wasn’t an attack really. It was a FUD by ifpi itself to hurt your case. Rly srsly.

ok seriöst, jag hittade ingen bra site att sprida mitt missnöje på så du får det här Peter: Alltså skärp er nu lite och hjälp era advokater med argumenten!, idag hade ni ju chansen att etablera att när en torrent kommer upp på piratebay har det eventuellt upphovsrättsskyddade verket redan spritts på scenen, Anders Nilsson sa ju själv att han arbetar dagligen med releasegrupp “problematiken” alltså borde han känna till att piratebay förmodligen är i sista ledet när det gäller medhjälp till spridning av upphovsskyddat material såsom tex filmer…
Och kunde ni inte frågat om han testat world of warcraft… mig veterligen krävs det ett konto för att spela, plus att det spelet faktiskt går att ladda hem från blizzards egen hemsida…
oh lol jag glömde det bästa med world of warcraft, blizzard använder bittorrent tekniken när de patchar hahaha så den hade varit fin att slänga i ansiktet på målsägarsidan… fan vilken öppning och ni missade den… gah!
IFPI is funny and hypocratic. They are talking about that they want be payed for their work.
But they use Apache webserver on their web, which is free software under GPL.
If they manage to shut piratebay down for helping to share copyright material, will they go after the ISP companies after that, for doing the verry same as well?
Life will become rather boring without internet.

Apache doesn’t use the GPL.
Mr Dennis Nilsson,
you don’t work for money? You don’t work? Are you a volontaire?
What is your point? Free software is meant to be free, and used.
