    I don't support illegal activity, but I believe this is a quest of freedom, not for getting stuff free as in free beer.

    Yes, I cannot believe that those guys are still running. Amazing.

    Thank God for the renegades, and the lives they lead Far ahead of their time

    Without the renegades, Lord knows where we'd be When it comes to heroes, Renegades are mine

    They railed against the crown, Another rag tag band Declaring Independence

    They laid their bodies down, won a bloody war, And liberty for their descendents

    Thanks to the renegades, we're free today

    Thanks to the renegades, we're free today

    Thank god for the renegades, and the lives they lead Far ahead of their time

    Without the renegades, Lord knows where we'd be

    When it comes to heroes, Renegades are mine

    Where are the renegades in the world today?

    Who are the renegades in the world today?

    Yeah it's "blocked" in Finland too (I thought this was a free country... But this is what you get when you elect friggin ex. Miss Finland to be the Minister handling these issues! Stupid is as stupid does, too bad the woting population seems pretty stupid in general if/when the elected representatives are a reflection of them).

    http://www.piraattilahti.org works fine though (a Proxy) :)

    I'm sorry, but as for quality of product and site service, the pirate bay is terrible. You can't browse the sight without a bombardment of popups, popunders and softcore pr0n lining all the sides of the screen. I don't support this style of "piracy." Free is open-source, free comes from passion but free is NOT a profitable site claiming to liberate the people.
