Pirate Bay founder requests clemency in eleventh hour

Ahh, now I know why all the prisons are overcrowded in the E.U, It's from putting people in prison for non-violent crimes while the murderers and rapists get early release for good behaviour.

Believe it or not, here in Ireland, more people are being put in prison each week for not paying their TV licence while hardened criminals are released early into society.

The pirate-bay cannot be torn down, nor can it be eradicated from the net as it is an integral part of it.

Putting people like this in jail is going to cost the citizen/taxpayers more money to look after them with food/shelter and all the rest. In my opinion these people should only get a small fine and be let go because they are not a harm to the populace. Prison is for people that harm or attack other human beings, but not for this.

A typical example of a society (all of us that claim "we're oh so much better than...) that has bullshat ourselves into believing that nonexistent/virtual crime is actually tangible.

Some have even argued that the whole penal system has turned people who weren't violent criminals 'into' that very thing. So hypocritical are those that invented this system, are the very people who can't be told their too arrogant that they're being victimized by it.

Idiots...
