I think, as my personal opinion, that The Pirate Bay for  years worked as a necessary act of civil disobedience, *and* that it has constituted a huge contribution to the accessibility of world culture - it has enabled me to see many movies that would otherwise have been very difficult for me to ever get hold of, as they're too far out on the long tail to be available on Amazon.

This, however, is about free culture and not free software, and even though the overall issues are
related (=> free society), that is not FSFE's area.

I also agree with Peter Sunde that TPB has survived itself and is actually harmful as a SPOF.

And (with a tired voice) this whole discussion is also kind of moot:
