> Advance Patrol is yet another band who has decided to release its new album El Futuro via The Pirate Bay – for free, fully legal. Click here to download. Also visit their web where you can listen before download and if you like it, give these guys a few dollars at their paypal adress. I haven’t even heard the album yet, but I still contribute with 100 SEK to support their cause. This way the money ends up where they belong – with the artists!
Cool thing is that Advance Patrol, who was unknowingly being used against The Pirate Bay in the trial, this time own the music themselves, meaning they can do whatever they want with it.
The hiphop group known as Advance Patrol will release its new album on The Pirate Bay today. They will do so to spread their music to as many as possible, and at the same time discredit the prosecution against The Pirate Bay, a prosecution where Advanced Patrol has been used as a scapegoat in the circus around the court proceedings. – We never asked to be plaintiffs in this case, Gonza from Advance Patrol explains, they used us as scapegoats in a fight in which we don’t wish to participate. We refuse to be used in a war against our fans. – You cannot legislate away file sharing, Gonza says. Those who fileshares our music are also those who appreciate it the most. They are my friends, and friendship is something to be valued highly. That’s why we’re giving away El Futuro to the internet, to our friends. Press release
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. 5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. 10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. 14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest: 15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue. 16 And if any man’s seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. 19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. 20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. 24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. 25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. 26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. 27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness. 31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them. 32 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith; 33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

Nikanor Teratologen, Att hata allt mänskligt liv – Vad du säger är sjukt och gement. – Men om vi betraktar människolivet som det faktiskt levs, så som ni européer föredrar att leva det, som ni kräver att alla andra folkslag ska leva det… Är inte hela det civiliserade samfundet uppbyggt på storskaliga, förutsägbara, skoningslösa människooffer? De napoleanska krigen, alla tidigare krig, alla kommande folkförintelser: vad annat är det än ritualiserade människooffer? Och vi behöver inte ens tala krig – vad är arbetet, trälandet i sitt anletes svett för att vinna den osäkra möjligheten att förlänga sitt av små lustar och efemära tillfredsställelser utdragna lidande, vad är det annat än ett ceremoniellt människooffer, ständigt pågående: rättare sagt hundratals miljoner människooffer? Varför då missunna de till bergen undanträngda Khonderna i Orissa deras fäderneärvda dödsdyrkansritual där Meriahs, köpta eller rövade tilltänkta människooffer som hålls som tjänare i något år men sedan, för att göra slut på en torka eller för att få bättre jaktlycka eller större fruktbarhet, måste offras. Efter tre dagar av ihärdigt supande och allehanda muntra upptåg, där Meriahn hållits fastbunden och även den tvingats dricka tappert, kommer den stund när Meriahn hackas till döds, man river köttstycken ur offret och sprider dem i skogen och på de eländiga små fälten. I en stam är barmhärtigheten så stor att Meriahn dränks i grisblod före sönderslitandet tar sin början. Varför måste ni britter, som själva njuter så av era avrättningar, med våld och straff inskrida mot de av goda hinduer föraktade Khondernas gamla seder, vad gör dessa numerärt försumbara människooffer er för ont?
Bram Stoker, Dracula Jag hade hängt upp min rakspegel vid fönstret och skulle just börja raka mig. Plötsligt kände jag en hand på min axel och hörde grevens röst säga: ”God morgon!” Jag ryckte till, för det förvånade mig att jag inte hade sett honom eftersom rakspegeln speglade hela rummet bakom mig. Då jag ryckte till skar jag mig lite, men det märkte jag inte just då. Jag besvarade grevens hälsning och vände mig åter mot spegeln för att se hur jag kunde ha misstagit mig så. Den här gången gick det inte att ta fel, för mannen stod intill mig och jag kunde se honom över axeln. Men det fanns ingen bild av honom i spegeln! Hela rummet bakom mig syntes; men det fanns ingen människa i rummet mer än jag. Det var häpnadsväckande och ovanpå alla de andra egendomligheterna bidrog det till att förstärka den vaga känslan av obehag som jag alltid erfar i grevens närvaro; men just då märkte jag att skärsåret blödde lite och att blodet sipprade nerför hakan. Jag lade ifrån mig rakkniven och vände mig om till hälften för att leta efter ett plåster. När greven såg mitt ansikte blixtrade det till i hans ögon av demoniskt raseri och plötsligt grep han efter min strupe. Jag drog mig undan och hans hand nuddade vid radbandet med krucifixet. Det åstadkom en omedelbar förändring hos honom, för raseriet försvann så snabbt att jag knappt kunde tro att det hade funnits.
”Var försiktig”, sade han, ”var försiktig med hur ni använder kniven. Det är farligare än ni tror i det här landet.” Sedan tog han rakspegeln och fortsatte: ”Och det är den här eländiga tingesten som är skuld till det. Den är en skamlig yttring av människans fåfänga. Bort med den!” Och med ett enda ryck med sin skräckinjagande hand öppnade han fönstret och kastade ut spegeln som splittrades i tusen bitar mot borggårdens stenläggning långt nedanför. Sedan försvann han utan ett ord. Det är mycket irriterande för jag förstår inte hur jag ska kunna raka mig såvida jag inte kan spegla mig i boetten eller i bottnen av min rakskål som lyckligtvis är av metall.
När jag gick in i matsalen var frukosten framdukad, men jag kunde inte hitta greven någonstans. Så jag åt frukost ensam. Det är underligt att jag ännu inte har sett greven äta eller dricka. Han måste vara en mycket egendomlig man!
I promised myself not to vote anymore, but promises are made to be broken, so… Here’s why I vote for The Pirate Party in the European Parliament elections 2009.
I think a statement need to be made. Things need to change, because this doesn’t have to be a game for the elite anylonger.
So, piracy then… No, it’s not about being able to snatch whatever you want off the internet. It’s about the society we’re facing, not even in a distant future, but now, right now, where corrupt judges who know virtually nothing about the internet violate civil rights, where FRA rule, where IPRED is a fact, where ordinary companies have become extraordinary cops, where freedom is at stake – pretty much because the people in power don’t understand what’s going on. These people are more interested in profit than human rights.
You think this ”freedom” talk is exaggerated? Look at France and their recently adopted HADOPI law. You think The Pirate Bay trial was legit? Then let’s make all post offices responsible for providing the infrastructure for illegal sharing of drugs, weapons et cetera, and sue the shit out of them.
Yes, The Pirate Party is a silly name. And they look silly as well, and their logo is childish. But why care about looks? Most people don’t even know what The Pirate Party is all about. Just to pick an example: I bet 90% of the Swedish population thinks that The Pirate Party wants to abolish copyright law. Not true.
Usually I’d be a Green Party/Left Party kinda guy, even though I detest party politics, as well as the obsolete left/right scale (check the results of my political tests here). But regarding these specific issues, The Green Party and The Left Party are not as well equipped as The Pirate Party, even though they – on the surface – have pretty much the same opinions regarding these issues. The problem is that The Green/Left Party have about a billion other issues to deal with, hence they won’t have a billionth of the time (that The Pirate Party has) to deal with what I believe to be the most important question of today – civil rights. The more issues you have to deal with, the less energy is put into each and everyone of them. That’s why The Pirate Party ought to be so much stronger than The Green Party and The Left Party altogether – regarding these specific issues.
Because The Pirate Party is pretty much only interested in integrity and civil/human rights. That’s their strenght. They’re acting childish and stupid when it comes to other issues, but here they rule. ”If you don’t believe that civil rights is the most important political issue right now, then don’t vote for us.” That’s a direct quote from the leader of the pack, Rick Falkvinge.
I’m not sure how much power they will have if they get elected, but my vote is cast with hope so that these issues are constantly being dealt with by people who know what they’re talking about.
And if you still think it’s all about downloading files off the internet… Nigga, please!
You’ve all been reading about President Obama trying to block previously unpublished photos from Abu Ghraib (Why? Because the pictures would “further inflame anti-American opinion” and endanger U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan). Well, Obomba, this is the age of the Internet where you cannot silence the opposition anylonger. Here are some of the 60 unpublished photos of US troops abusing prisoners in the infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. There are loads more photos, still unpublished, and there are thousands of documents regarding torture yet to be released. We haven’t seen the worst yet.
>I’ve hurt my wrists and underarms real bad, so I can’t really play the games I want at the moment (Killzone 2). Good then I found a nice torrent featuring my favourite games of all time: The Monkey Island suite (visit Google, enter “Monkey Island Ultimate” and click the “I’m feeling lucky!” button… You want to be a pirate, don’t you?).
I won’t even start praising these games because then I won’t stop, but in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, or just need some nostalgia, check out these videos:
The Secret of Monkey Island (1990)
Monkey Island 2 – LeChuck’s Revenge (1991)
We’ve come a long way since then. But nothing will ever beat the feeling of Monkey Island.
