    1. I really enjoyed the Pirate Bay episode of darknet diaries (podcast). Recommend for anyone interested in the history of piracy.

    2. Considering the 2008/2009 convictions and then raids in 2014, I think they might have spoken too soon

      Reminds me of a similar letter sent by the editor of Private Eye magazine to the solicitors of a certain Mr Arkell who had featured in a story in the magazine – he was threatening to sue for libel:

      Arkell’s lawyers wrote a letter which concluded: “His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply.” Private Eye responded: “We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr J. Arkell. We note that Mr Arkell’s attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply and would therefore be grateful if you would inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: fuck off.”
