Pirate Bay Receives Notice To Keep a Torrent

The original reddit comment by the author here: <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/d4z7q/when_you_find_your_software_as_a_cracked_download/c0xm28h" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/d4z7q/when_you_...</a> is actually rather interesting. If you delve deeper into the comments he actually gives someone a full license copy to someone that had trouble with the cracked version.

Have you noticed something? They removed the torrent, but they refuse to do so under legal pressure from huge corporate empires.<p>I think that this is an elegant proof that being genuinely nice to people works. Pirate bay is a site run by an organization for a political reason, but we tend to forget that it's made up of people too.

While this is probably unintentional, if it weren't then it'd make some pretty good guerrilla advertising for his software.

I call this type of approach, Judo Marketing: where you use your opponent's strength to your benefit.
