The Pirate Bay is back up, and in the Netherlands
Shortly after being raided by Swedish Police, The Pirate Bay fled from Sweden, and in the short time of a few days, has reestablished itself in the Netherlands.

By your logic, if I provide burglars with all of their supplies, schematics of vaults, buildings etc. I shouldn't be held responsible, because that's all totally legal. Don't try to argue this, because you're case is thin at best.
Posting a direct link makes no difference, it isn't like the site's URL is hard to figure out, it isn't some random IP address or anything. You just have to take the name of the damn site they are reporting about and put .com at the end, not all that hard. Do you honestly think anyone wouldn't be able to figure out the URL just by reading the headling? I me anyone other then you because obviously you think it makes a difference if they directly link to it or not, so you obviously don't have the intellegence to put the pieces together. I'll argue that. The pirate bay is not providing nearly all that, and that anolgy is crap. Using your burglar anology though. It would be like a burglar doing all the work to get the gold out of the valt, then spreading it around the world and the pirate bay is simply providing directions on how to find it. Is the gold still stolen? Yes, but the pirate bay's role in the whole thing isn't nearly as bad as you make it out to be.
I think Wazz posted that one orignally. :D
