Paypal slap Pirate Bay owned hosting company
 

Just saw this on Reddit. The owners of The Pirate Bay also own a "bulletproof" hosting company. Paypal just froze their account.

I'm sure they will have other options in place soon, but it is still good to see.

ho ho ho :smilie_we

say no to Piracy ho ho ho :smilie_we

Say goodbye to your freedom is what your saying goodbye too..

I don't pirate, but I see the point.. And it clearly shows corporate America is our new government.

next they'll clone paypal and move on

that would be like in some kind of movie, paypral africa here we come

Fear not they are accepting BitCoins now.

Freedom existed long before the Internet ever did. And it seems to me that we had a hell of a lot more freedom before we had a generation of Internet noodle heads that believe Facebook *likes* and *unlikes* was political activism that would change the world.

Internet is not freedom and democracy is not facebook.
If you truely want freedom and democracy then there is only one place they are found and that is.... In the streets.

Plus consider this.
Pirates are what is destroying your freedom. Because their actions force the hand of huge multinationals corporations to lobby gouvernements for laws and to undertake actions that ultimately destroy freedoms and rights.

Thanks to the OP and thanks to AK. I know he had a part in this.

What he said!

.

Merry fuck you in the ass pirates.

Ughm, guess you don't get it..

They are not the pirates... They just have this web links that happen to pick up the piracy links just as Google does.. So what's the difference? Oh its easier to find the hand than catch the rabbit? So give up your freedom for that?

If you told your friend to go jump in the lake, and he did and died.. are you guilty of murder? If you ever followed the Charles Manson case, and understood his point, of never having a defense.. Its the same thing...

Chat rooms and forums allow sexual predators to locate train and attack their prey.. Should we shutdown all the forums and chatrooms on the internet?

If I had a website that accepted links and you submitted your illegal trash, why not I in jail? Same thing

they have many options ... bitcoins .. liberty reserve .... and so on .. paypal can suck a dick

the pirate in their name "the pirate bay" kinda made vrocks lean towards being open to the remote possibility that they are indeed pirates!

The big story is that none of us are angels.

However, at the end of the day there are only a few companies giving EVERYTHING away.

From the latest film downloads to the sickest porn - Where do you think most people look first?

I'm sure the bitcoins are pouring in faster than they can count them.

</sarcasm>

Let this be a warning to service providers who knowingly provide services to pirates.

Visa and Mastercard are expected to take the same tough line in 2013.

So how can I pay for my Google ads next year?

or Yahoo, Microsoft and lets face it GFY ads....

/sarcasm

I do admire what you are doing but I am not sure it is the right thing if that makes sense.

The less you make the more likely you are to get hit by any new Visa and MC regs.

Manwin wins anyway - I think we all saw that coming though.

ROFL .. u live in a dreambox dude :1orglaugh

Maybe Paypal is actually going under, so they don't want to be affiliated with this next political move soon to follow :D And has nothing to do with who or what they process for...

I'm pretty confident Paypal is not going under. The money they make on Ebay alone is huge.
