It seems the Bay crew have regained a sense of perspective after the recent "engineered confrontation" they receiceved when being asked to take part in a discusion and coming face to face with an angry father.
http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9784/The+Pirate+Bay%3A+%27We+Have+Created+a+Forum+for+Information+Sharing%27Peter Sunde and Fredrik Neij, two of the BitTorrent tracker site's founders, discuss who they are, what The Pirate Bay's all about, and what it really means to be a pirate. In a piece humorously titled "Are they baby-eating monsters or what?," Sunde and Neij shed some interesting new light on who they are, what The Pirate Bay's all about, and what it really means to be a pirate. “We’re not the recluse type; we're very social computer [nerds],” Neij apparently said with a smile.
“We believe in freedom of speech and the right to free communication between private individuals,” Sunde says
“It seems as if many people have a hard time understanding that we have created a forum for information sharing; we’re not actually posting any of the material on TPB ourselves.”
“We try to let people understand the good things ‘pirates’ can do (we use the name ‘pirates’ to reclaim the word and make it positive) and to put the power of people in their own hands instead of the traditional media industry that edits the content that is out there," notes Sunde.
I wonder if this is the sort of thing they mean ?
