The reason they are always complainting about “pirates” today is simple. We’ve done what they did. We circumvented thePirate Bay Manifesto
rules they created and created our own. We crushed their monopoly by giving people something more efficient.
We believe that the next step in copying will be made from digital form into physical form. It will be physical objects. Or as we decided to call them: Physibles. Data objects that are able (and feasible) to become physical. We believe that things like three dimensional printers, scanners and such are just the first step. We believe that in the nearby future you will print your spare sparts for your vehicles. You will download your sneakers within 20 years.The Pirate Bay - The galaxy’s most resilient bittorrent site
I agree with Chris.
We have to be aware that “anarchism” has deep deep roots in history and
has been violent in many ways many times.
I am afraid, for example, that all the anti-globalization people in Europe
are looking to hitch a new wagon. I am worried that the protests in the UK
and all this net anarchism activity could somehow bizzarly get connected.
I have no real evidence, but I do think that is potential for net
anarchism to get its real world anarchist equivalent.
I think we need to consider what Chris is saying very seriously. The cross
over into physical/real life is a serious potential.
