About Issues with TPB & Flattr
summary
Recap of concrete claims and projects about file sharing, payments and responsibility: Pirate Bay grows by deliberate provocation, publishes cease and desist letters, and even stole North Korea IP space as a viral stunt; a parody church reaches 36,000-member Church of Copyism to exploit religious privacy loopholes; an artwork called the Copy Machine showing $5bn stolen (by industry math) highlights absurd copyright accounting. Flattr is a working micro‑payment button dividing a monthly pot, and a downloadable Tribunal toolkit aims to hold global platforms ethically accountable.
