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.<br>
<br>
This, however, is about free culture and not free software, and even
though the overall issues are <br>
related (=> free society), that is not FSFE's area.<br>
<br>
I also agree with Peter Sunde that TPB has survived itself and is
actually harmful as a SPOF.<br>
<br>
And (with a tired voice) this whole discussion is also kind of moot:<br>

Credit where credit is due. It's FSF's Giving Guide, not FSFE's. ;)
