Each day, millions of users visit ThePirateBay.org, where they can browse hundreds of files containing copyrighted music, movies and other digital media - including some works like the Beatles' Let It Be album that have yet to be commercially released as digital files. The Pirates - and their supporters who have staged street demonstrations, Twittered the court proceedings and may have crashed the websites of their perceived enemies - insist that they simply bring users together to who have files they are willing to share. If users choose to find illegal content and trade it, the site's operators say, that's their...
...years ThePirateBay.org has been public enemy number one for the music business and Hollywood.

It's all jam-packety, pretty old houses lined up one beside the other, each one a different color, with curlicues and flowers, and, man, streets just full of people. White people, black people, mixed-race people, all jumbled up together and walking. Music right on the sidewalk...a whole band and drum set and everything, like the whole city is a big party. I'm looking out the window, eyes big as saucers - eight years old - and I'm thinking, this is a whole different way to be a Negro; I'm thinking...
