The Pirate Bay celebrates its 20th anniversary today. Founded in 2003 by a collective of hackers and activists, the small Swedish BitTorrent tracker grew to become a global icon for online piracy. The rebellious torrent site has a turbulent history and clashed with law enforcement authorities on multiple occasions. Despite these setbacks, it remains online today.

That's a tax i think I could get behind in the US if it meant I could get what I want for a price that is fair.

I buy games. I subscribe to YouTube premium for ad free access to their content and music streaming library.

I refuse to pay $200 per month for a cable tv plan that has the 4 channels I'd want to watch and 2000 I don't give a shit about. I refuse to sign up for every streaming service under the sun to cobble together what I want to watch. So I pay what I think is a fair price for a vpn subscription, a debrid service and an iptv plan.

I'm more than willing to pay, just not what they're asking me to pay.
