Cybernorms started in 2009 at Lund as a research project from a PhD student in the Sociology of Law department. The idea was to look at how real-world norms interact with laws concerning file-sharing, and early work in the field came to a stark conclusion. The Pirate Bay A 2009 paper (PDF) based on initial Cybernorms research concluded first of all that there are "no social norms that hinder illegal file sharing. The surrounding imposes no moral or normative obstruction for the respondents file sharing of copyrighted content." Furthermore, the research found that 75 percent of 15-25 year olds had no plans to stop swapping copyrighted files just because it was illegal. "Almost as many state that more stringent legislation will not stop them from downloading," the report concluded. "This reveals a large discrepancy between the viewpoint of copyright legislation and of young people regarding what is right and wrong. File sharers do not believe copyright legislation should interfere with how they use the Internet in their living rooms. If we choose to ignore this discrepancy, we run a clear risk of diminishing younger generations respect for rule of law." The Cybernorms group now seeks more data on file-sharing behavior through a brief survey linked on The Pirate Bay's front page. It hopes that more data will help it explore "the gap and the distance that today is at risk of emerging between the traditional society’s rules and the social norms that are generated within the framework of young net cultures."[/quote]

pirate bay is shit, comcast has a fuckload of trap torrents on it

It's interesting that they've renamed themselves as "The Research Bay." one source said that it was only temporary, though.

Finished the research now :3:

Pirate bay is backed by a political party, a religion, and a research group now? Wow. "I'm pirating, for scientific advancement of the human race! And it's part of my religion. It's also legal now." So, a politician, a priest, and a scientist walk into a bar...

Don't get started with that...I'm still peeved at the religious part.

I think it's fucking fascinating.

[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;29282734]pirate bay is shit, comcast has a fuckload of trap torrents on it it's funny how you disagree when i have at least 20 emails proving this, not only that but when i check each movie they caught me on they were all downloaded from the pirate bay[/QUOTE] Learn to read the comments on torrents then, it will save you a shitload of time.

I don't. I like the research and political party, but not the religious group.

[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;29282734]pirate bay is shit, comcast has a fuckload of trap torrents on it[/QUOTE] I don't have Comcast. They don't even offer it in my area.

[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;29282734]pirate bay is shit, comcast has a fuckload of trap torrents on it[/QUOTE] That helps.

[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;29282734]pirate bay is shit, comcast has a fuckload of trap torrents on it[/QUOTE] I don't think the torrents are 'traps' I think they're just reported and monitored.

either way comcast uses pirate bay to fuck their customers

Someone mind explaining the religious group thing. I never knew the pirates were backed by religion.

[QUOTE=Bryanrocks0;29288588]Someone mind explaining the religious group thing. I never knew the pirates were backed by religion.[/QUOTE] It just started and its apparently not a "real" religion. You can find it on the first or second page of ITN, it was posted around the same time as this one.

[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;29282734]pirate bay is shit, comcast has a fuckload of trap torrents on it[/QUOTE]Heh, sucks to be you. ISPs in my country don't seem to give a rat's arse.

It's funny because tpb isn't even that good of a tracker

They're obviously "lending" the software to Cybernorms

Did the survey, it's quite useful info, you all should do it.

[QUOTE=tomatmann;29294181]Good thing most of us are not US citizens![/QUOTE] According to the FP 2011 Census you are. [url]https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewanalytics?formkey=dGZzeE9nVEJEdVhReE9va0ZRcFVNV1E6MQ[/url]

[QUOTE=Lambeth;29302204]Some people get turned on by traps.[/QUOTE] tell me about it, fapping to the copywrite emails they send is fucking wonderful

[QUOTE=MovingSalad;29282757]It's interesting that they've renamed themselves as "The Research Bay." one source said that it was only temporary, though.[/QUOTE] Of course it's only temporary, they do the same thing each time they put up news.

Who the fuck does their banners?
