He's a brave but foolish man. Some of the things said are pretty funny.

Many people don't agree with the law on music exchange etc. He could have though not made it into a business where he took so much profit and redistributed it to the musicians etc and he'd have been legal. I like Pirate Bay but yeah, he's in some trouble and kind of deserves it for taking that much income over just running a site and servers. Millions of dollars is a bit much to be talking like he's any better than the corps he dislikes. I can't stand the RIAA because they steal from the artists' work too and then cry they are going broke but the artists are fortunate to get 10% of earnings while record companies keep the rest. If a site like Pirate Bay could run advertisements that give so much money to it, it makes no sense to not support the artists a bit because then no one pays but advertisers and they make profits by people seeing their adds. It could have been a nice solution.
