Not at that time. That came after the us government pushed the swedish government to do something and they in turn "strongly hinted" to the swedish judiciary system that they better do something.

And finally the sentencing judge socialised professionally with pro-copyright lobbyists.

It is quite interesting that American corporations harass everyone, not just us Americans.

I got together with the other Americans, and we're cool of you all want to do something about them.

Why would he need to be in solitary for being a flight risk? Sounds like you're mixing up regular prison and solitary confinement...

“He is kept under restrictions as decided by the prosecutor. TV in his cell. He can buy cigarettes and sweets from a kiosk that comes Monday and Wednesdays,” Kristina explains.

“He is offered one hour ‘outdoors’ each day in some kind of exercise yard with high concrete walls. That is all he is allowed to leave his cell for. No gym, no opportunities to meet other people except for the guards.

Ok so I think what most people think about when they talk about solitary confinement is the US version where you have a small cell with a toilet, sink and bed and that's it, you're behind a door with a small window and sometimes you don't even get an hour of exercise...

"The European Court of Human Rights distinguishes between complete sensory isolation, total social isolation and relative social isolation[30] and notes that "complete sensory isolation, coupled with total social isolation can destroy the personality and constitutes a form of inhuman treatment which cannot be justified by the requirements of security or any other reason. " https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_confinement

If the European courts find it important to distinguish between types of solidary confinement them I feel like posters should as well. Otherwise you can't blame people for defaulting to the most commonly used type of solidarity confinement.

And the US has far more prisoners than Europeans do and we use solidary confinement far more often.

If every peasant started treating his opressor like this, we might actually start getting results.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We would need all peasants doing it at once. One peasant doing it just means you get your head cut off, which unfortunately doesn't help.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 9 points 1 year ago

Some truth in that for sure.

I was talking more about when you get a chance to dunk one these clowns and you can do without getting hurt or you are willing to take calculated risk. Do it!

Most plebs now either too scared or otherwise unwilling to some basic FAFO and this made owner class brazen

But not run by the original owners. And the current team is really shady. I wouldn't trust downloading an .exe from there.

I'd say this might be true for programs, but as long as you download movies, shows and music I'd assume it's fine as long as you use common sense.

The Darknet Diaries podcast made a really good episode about The Pirate Bay, telling the entire story, including funny stories like the responses to these letters, and interviewing Peter Sunde, one of the 3 founders. https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/92/

Thanks, you gave me a new podcast to listen to.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s one of my favorites! Also check out Search Engine, one of my favorite new podcasts with an amazing host. “What’s the best phone to do crimes on”, the latest episode, is excellent—Darknet Diaries covered the subject as well, but this goes into even more detail.

I also loved “Who’s behind all those spammy text messages?” but that one gets DARK.

IIRC, the US accusers even quoted US federal law at TPB in emails preceding this. They had probably just assumed TPB were US based and this response where how they found out.

I'm still salty about Sweden bending over about this, tho. Sovereignty is a lie.

The hunt for the cofounders of torrent site The Pirate Bay was a lengthy game of cat-and-mouse, spanning several continents. In the end, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Gottfrid Svartholm all ended up in prison.

This puts me in mind of Arkell vs. Pressdram.
