THE PIRATE BAY
Popularna internet stranica "The Pirate Bay" (TPB), koja je osnovana u Švedskoj, već je izazivala kontroverze u javnosti. Mnogi je percipiraju kao centralno mjesto na kojem se nalaze brojne ilegalne kopije svega što se može pronaći u digitalnom obliku. Međutim, unatoč brojnim pokušajima da se onemogući rad stranice, iza koje stoji neprofitna udruga, ona još uvijek funkcionira i jedno je od najposjećenijih mjesta na Internetu.
|
Na njenim serverima pohranjene su torrent datoteke koje preko bittorent protokola omogućuju da korisnici preuzimaju druge velike datoteke. Među njima su najčešće one koje omogućuju preuzimanje sadržaja interesantnog većini korisnika interneta, poput filmova, računalnih igara ili raznih programa. No, očito zakonsko tumačenje torrent datoteka nije dovoljno precizno ili se razlikuje među pojedinim pravnim sustavima, pa mnogi pokušavaju djelovati na TPB da ukloni sadržaj koji drugi vide kao sporan. Međutim švedski zakoni omogućuju da se organizacija vješto skriva iza njih. TPB je na svojim stranicama istakao upozorenje korisnicima "da ih ne kontaktiraju ako pronađu nešto neprikladno, nego da probaju pronaći nešto što nije". Torrent datoteke, kako pišu u odgovoru na jednu od pritužbi gdje se pozivaju na relevantne zakonske odredbe, nisu same po sebi ilegalan sadržaj, nego "samo sadrže informaciju gdje se ilegalan sadržaj može pronaći". Zato veliki broj pravnih prijetnji smatraju neutemeljenima, pa su odlučili da će bilo koju pristiglu pritužbu na autorska prava ismijati i objaviti na stranicama. Da bi dosljedno mogli provoditi svoju odluku, otvorili su posebnu rubriku "Pravne prijetnje", gdje se mogu pročitati i odgovori na njih u kojima bez imalo suzdržavanja odgovaraju na prigovore. Osim što dio njih argumentirano obrazlože, većinu doživljavaju kao ispušni ventil. |

Primjerice, za pravne predstavnike "Dreamworksa" bez ustručavanja tvrde da su moroni, nakon što su im otkrili da se Švedska nalazi u Europi, a ne u SAD-u, pa tako ne podliježe njihovim zakonima. "Electronic Arts-u" su poručili da nije pogodan trenutak za njihovu sudsku tužbu jer odvjetnik TPB-a vjerojatno leži negdje pijan u uličici, pa mole da pričekaju dok ga pronađu i prođe mamurluk. "Sega" im je uputila prigovor zbog kršenja prava na igri "Football Manager" i upozorila ih da podliježu britanskim zakonima, na što su im odgovorili da bi više voljeli da ih tuže u Japanu jer nikada nisu posjetili Tokyo. Traže i puno pravnih dokumenata na velikoj količini papira jer im se zaliha u kupaonici bliži kraju.

It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are… morons, and that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.

ELECTRONIC
ARTS
EA:
Dear
Mr. Neij:
It has been brought to the attention
of Electronic Arts Inc. ("EA") that the website
http://www.piratebay.org with the IP addresses of [IP adrese] is
conducting
unauthorized activities with respect to EA's copyrighted software, "The
Sims 2". The
aforementioned website
is offering and distributing bittorrent seeds for an unauthorized
downloadable
version of this EA game.
The infringing material may be found
at: [link]
TPB:
Hello and thank you for contacting
us. We have shut down the website in question.
Oh wait, just kidding. We haven't,
since the site in question is fully legal. Unlike certain other
countries, such
as the one you're in, we have sane copyright laws here. But we also
have polar
bears roaming the streets and attacking people. :-(
EA:
This unauthorized activity with
respect to the distribution of EA's software products constitutes
infringement
of EA's intellectual property rights. EA enforces its intellectual
property
rights very aggressively by using every legal option available.
TPB:
Please don't sue us right now, our
lawyer is passed out in an alley from too much moonshine, so please
atleast
wait until he's found and doesn't have a huge hangover...
EA:
As you are listed as the registrant
for this website, EA demands that you immediately and permanently
disable
access to the aforementioned bittorrent seeds for "The Sims 2" and
any in the future.
TPB:
You're free to demand anything you
want. So are we. We demand that you cease and desist sending letters
like this,
since they're frivolous and meaningless. Where should I send the bill
for the
consumed diskspace and bandwidth?

SEGA SEGA:
We act on behalf of SEGA Europe Limited ("SEGA") in
the enforcement of its Intellectual Property Rights in the United
Kingdom.
As you will be aware, "SEGA" is world famous and is
recognised as being an industry leader in interactive entertainment. "
SEGA", and its software developer "Sports Interactive Limited" ("Sports
Interactive") have recently announced that its new football management
PC game "FOOTBALL MANAGER 2005" is due to be launched later this month
(see: [link]). As a result of the recent publicity our client and
"Sports Interactive" enjoy a substantial reputation and goodwill in the
"FOOTBALL MANAGER" name.
Further, SEGA's developer, "Sports Interactive" is
the owner of a UK trade mark registration for FOOTBALL MANAGER under
number 2,169,952. We attach details of the UK registered trade mark for
your information.
It has come to our client's attention that through
the service provided by your "thepiratebay.org" website, users are
able, by clicking on a link on your website featuring the FOOTBALL
MANAGER™, to download an unauthorised and illegal version of our
client's new FOOTBALL MANAGER 2005 PC game. In this regard, your
website is currently listing FOOTBALL MANAGER 2005 as number 1 in its
"Top 5" and a substantial number of UK users used your services to
download this game in the UK. |
By providing this service to UK
users using the FOOTBALL MANAGER name, you are infringing the FOOTBALL
MANAGER
trade mark in the UK. Further, our client is concerned that due to the
volume
of illegal copies of our client's FOOTBALL MANAGER 2005 PC game being
provided
via your service our client is losing substantial sums of money in lost
sales.
This email is ask that you
immediately remove the link complained of, and to confirm that there
will be no
further misuse of the FOOTBALL MANAGER™ in relation to your services.
In the meantime, our client reserves
its rights in respect of any causes of action available to it in this
matter
and in respect of any claim for costs and/or damages against you. In
this
regard, your speed in complying with our requests will be taken into
account.
TPB:
Dear
Sir(s),
Madam(s), and/or Slimemold(s),
I have the distinct pleasure of
informing you that no Swedish trademark and/or coypyright law is being
violated, regardless of how the situation may or may not be under UK
law. I
would advise you to read up on Swedish trademark law, more specifically
Varumarkeslag (1960:644), as this might save you a great deal of future
humiliation.
I would also advise you to
a)
not write the
subject all in UPPERCASE, as it makes spam filters go nuts
b)
not attach
meaningless data from trademark registrys in PDF format and
c)
stop lying.

TPB:
Then I guess you'll have to send us
another oh-so-scary-sounding e-mail
about
httр://static.thepiratebay.оrg/sega_mail.txt and
httр://static.thepiratebay.org/sega_response.tхt
:-/.
SEGA:
Further to your response below, you
should be aware that your misuse of the FOOTBALL MANAGER™ in relation
to your
services constitutes an infringement in the UK, irrespective of Swedish
law and
whether or not you are based in Sweden, not least because your
"thepiratebay.org"
website is targeting users in the UK (as evidenced by the fact that a
substantial number of UK users have already used your services to
download this
game in the UK). This gives a cause of action and jurisdiction to sue
you in
the UK. Our client would then proceed to enforce the UK judgement
against you
in Sweden.
In the circumstances, we repeat our
request once more that you immediately remove the link complained of
and
confirm that there will be no further misuse of the FOOTBALL MANAGER™
in
relation to your services.
We look forward to hearing from you.
TPB:
Dear
Prokaryote(s),
Please sue me in Japan instead. I've
always wanted to visit Tokyo. Also, I'm running out of toilet paper, so
please
send lots of legal documents to our ISP - preferably printed on soft
paper.
No, but seriously. That's simply not how international law enforcement works. Using the same logic, a country where web sites are forbidden could press charges against you for having one.

ANEGDOTE
Čuvenog švajcarskog
zoologa i geologa Aleksandra Agasiza
(1835-1910), profesora Univerziteta Kembridž u Masačusetsu,
pozvali su da održi nekoliko predavanja u Njujorku. Profesor je odbio
izgovorivši se, što je i bilo tačno, da je prezauzet.
Misleći da je u pitanju honorar, Njujorčani su mu se ponovo obratili
ponudivši za tih nekoliko predavanja ogromnu sumu. Na njihovo neopisivo
iznenađenje, Agasiz je po drugi put odbio rekavši: "Prosto
naprosto nemam vremena da zarađujem pare".

Pred kraj drugog svetskog rata britanske snage pod
komandom feldmaršala Montgomerija (1887-1976),
ovenčan slavom zbog pobede nad Romelom kod El Alamejna u Severnoj
Africi, i američke na čelu sa generalom Patonom
(1885-1945) borile su se zajedno protiv Nemaca na tlu
Francuske. Na žalost, između komandanata čiji je zadatak bio da tesno
sarađuju došlo je do zle krvi i, posle jednog žučnog sastanka,
Montgomeri je poslao Patonu sledeću poruku:
"Imam čast saopštiti vam samo dve stvari: prvo,
držite se što dalje od mene; drugo, ostavite mi vaše gorivo."
Uskoro potom Amerikanci su postigli spektakularnu
prednost nad neprijateljem daleko nadmašivši prodor Britanaca. General
Paton je tada poslao Montgomeriju oficira s jednom jedinom kanticom
benzina i usmenom porukom: "General Paton vam zahvaljuje na saopštenju i toplo se nada da ste zadovoljni što se sada sa svojim momcima nalazi dovoljno daleko od vas. Šalje vam ovu kantu benzina, jedinu koje u datim okolnostima može da se liši, pošto vam je sigurno jasno da je njemu gorivo potrebnije nego vama." [PZ #1652/1983] -●-●-●-
