Digital Pirates reach safe ground?!

Link to the article given here:

While surfing the Internet on my favorite websites I happen to come across and interesting article that had to deal with File Sharing and a notorious website known as the Pirates Bay. Pirates Bay just for a short background, is a file sharing website home to many cracked programs, movies and other downloadable content usually offered with programs such as Bittorrent, Utorrent etc. It seems the webmasters have been in constant fire from government agencies in the U.S. for copyright infringement etc. What ever were these digital pirates of the virtual sea going to do? Coming to their aid in an unexpected turn of events was the nation of Antigua. Now you probably are wondering why in the world would this nation outside of the U.S. want to help a group of file-sharer's....trust me I thought and thought until I read through the article completely. Well it turns out the U.S. has been trying to put a stop for it's citizens to use Antigua's online gambling services offered on the Internet. A service such as online gambling handles undoubtedly millions of financial records and take in a lot of money from their active users. It seems to me that the U.S. must contribute a lot to Antigua's profit share when it comes to online gambling services. So in an effort to pressure the U.S. to discontinue their efforts and banning Antigua's gambling services, they announced a "free sanction" to the Pirate Bay file sharing website. This is very good news for people around the world who take part in sharing files around the world. Unfortunately this may leave many U.S. companies with little chance at stopping file sharing to take place that infringe on copyright laws.

Although, I feel that they're are many pro's and con's to file sharing so I won't share my own views on them, but this can spell a no win situation for either side of this debate. However, people at Pirates Bay can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, nothing is being announced as of yet as to where this may go in the weeks to come. One can only hope that a diplomatic solution can be addressed so that all party's may move on with something to gain.
