“The entertainment lobby has bullied Sweden around.”
“Most of the people leaking movies or giving out movies are because they love the movies.”
“A lot of people are giving up on politics and thinking they can solve issues with technology. These kind of arrogant behaviors towards the rest of the society are a bit disgusting.”
“I'd rather see us sponsor culture by pushing more money to music education, and facilities for your people to create music. It would be much more sane for cultural advancement then extending copyrights.”
“I think that we need to take care of the Internet itself right now, in order to permit it to be an important part of everyday life in the future as well.”
“Like most people who go to prison for an unfair thing, we become more persuaded in our own beliefs.”
“In all honesty, the reason we did The Pirate Bay was to bring freedom and take back control from a centralized system.”
“If we were making millions, we wouldn't have day jobs.”
“Apple is going on the path to control computer use.”
“The Pirate Bay was never for making people not pay, it was for making people free to choose what to share and who they want to share it with.”
“The old saying 'If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it - Does it still make a sound?' can be adapted to: 'If someone does something interesting on the Internet and nobody is around to talk about it - Did it still make an impact?'”
“Of course I would have preferred to win in the Supreme Court as personal vindication and to vacate my sentence.”
“All communication on today's networks are being monitored by government agencies and private companies.”
“I mostly eat lettuce.”
“It's about removing the barriers between producers and consumers. I want to get rid of that mindset so that people realize in order to create, you have to participate.”
“I'll live with whatever sentence I'll get in the end - I'll just finish my book.”
“Filesharing in Sweden can't get you into prison, so there's nothing criminal about helping people to fileshare.”
“We are quite sure the Pirate Bay is legal in Sweden.”
“I'm not on Facebook but there are a lot of drawbacks in my offline world. No party invitations, no updates from my friends, people stop talking to you, because you're not on Facebook. So it has real life implications.”
“Copyright is not the thing that makes artists money, it's only for their brokers and distributors.”
