Forbes: Why Web Pirates Can’t Be Touched

I’m always a bit worried when a respected news magazine tries to report about topics like Piracy for instance. Most of the time the articles are a bunch of assumptions taken from official biased sources like the RIAA to come to the conclusion how badly piracy affects businesses. Now it is Forbes trying to tell us why web pirates can’t be touched and it begins – who would have thought about that – with The Pirate Bay. They come to the conclusion that The Pirate Bay is shielded by Sweden’s lax copyright laws and international immunity. I personally think that it is a matter of perspective. The laws might be lax from the standpoint of an American company but tight for a Swedish one.
