The Pirate Bay now has their own 'anthem'

The Pirate Bay now has their own 'anthem'
In 2007, the founders of the infamous torrent tracker The Pirate Bay began their 'Buy Sealand' campaign, hoping to raise enough money to purchase the island of Sealand and offer broadband access and no copyright laws to all citizens. The campaign was an utter failure however, as the island is priced at $1 billion USD and the group only raised $40,000 USD or so.

They may not have their island, but the Pirate Bay now has its own anthem, courtesy of Swedish musician Montt Mardié. The single was given a YouTube video and the single is available for free, obviously, via the public tracker.



Says the Pirate Bay crew. Download, listen and share “To show the world, that we’re all The Pirate Bay…”

    dude if you could do what they do and give us unlimited torrents to everything out of everything i wouldnt give a shyt if you made millions off advertising..the bottom line is they dont take money from us civilians for using their services. they may have a profit but alot of it goes to keep their servers running..geez some people just cant afford to think can they..

    God help us if the Matrix was a premonition. Be so much harder to know if i live in the legal squiggle code or the mainstream make up as you go along squiggle code. But to reality! can't sing for shit and nobody works for nothing. But i am wary of flags and anthems the last resort of despots.

    you my friend are mistaken if you think they are in it for the money

    i personally am glad they have a nice apartment and some badass tv's they run the biggest tracker ever! EVER! i think they know more about running trackers then Bittorrent, Inc. lol they earned it they paid themselves its all documented. and advertising? EVEN edited by ddp CHURCHES ADVERTISE edited by ddp and why the edited by ddp would you share the profits? did you upload and contribute to the pirate bay? your prolly one of the edited by ddp in the torrent comments claiming edited by ddp doesnt work cause you only get audio and no video. and also leech! then complain about the speed/seeds

    We aren't in it for the money.. nobody pays me to rip and upload a film from a deleted dvd or one which has never been released in a certain country .. I do it because I want to and I believe it is right to give everybody the choices they are denied many times by the mainstream "for profit" distributors.

    I put rips from tv on TPB and films which are deleted or unobtainable on demonoid.. I don't ask for your money.. I don't want your money.. A word of thanks once in a while would be nice, but it isn't required to access the content.

    Long Live Pirates.. we will own the content.. we do own the content.. it is our property now.. muahahahahahahahahaha

    I still say Lazy Town's "You Are A Pirate" would make a better Pirate Bay anthem.

    These lazy idiots at the RIAA/MPAA feed off the artists and creators and give back little. They all could have made an over killing with ad supported legal files where an ad would be posted above and below the screen for a movie and maybe a 10-20 sec ad before a song plays unless you pay the fee. On top of it all they want even non profit Radio stations to pay royalties and crap. Oh yea check out my station on Shoutcast if you love Progressive Rock, Classic Rock, Classic Alternative. Just to to shoutcast.com and search for The Legacy.

    Back to topic its the Pirates who help forgotten and unsigned artists to be discovered. Now that we have the net the artists don't even need an RIAA or an MPAA for the net speaks for itself. The more people see and hear your work the more people will attend concerts and go to the theater to watch a great movie. Lets all ban together and try and come up with a super non centralized p2p client.
