Arboga autopsy photos on The Pirate Bay

[zatoicchi]

File sharing site The Pirate Bay is under fire for not reacting after autopsy pictures of the two toddlers murdered in Arboga last spring were uploaded onto site.

* Court dismisses Arboga retrial bid (5 Sep 08)
* IOC asks Sweden to block Pirate Bay (19 Aug 08)
* 'My kids were butchered like animals' (1 Aug 08)

The photographs of the dead children are part of a large collection of material from the police’s investigation of the case which can now be found on the site, reports TV4.

The children’s father Niklas Jangestig pleaded in vain to the site’s operators to remove the pictures.

“We don’t even want to them to remove the investigative material. But we don’t want there to be pictures of my dead children there,” Jangestig said to TV4.

The site’s operators responded to his request via email: “That is one helluva gripe. No, No and again no.”

“I don’t think it’s our job to judge of something is ethical or unethical or what other people want to put out on the internet,” said The Pirate Bay’s spokesperson Peter Sunde to TV4.

I have to agree with the father's children. Those pictures of his children shouldn't be on the site. That is just pure bad judgement on TPB behalf. Its also unethical on thier part.

Would others want pictures of thier deceacesed children on a torrent site??

I am guessing not.

Would TPB owners want pictures of their deceased children on their own torrent site?

I am guessing not.

Would they even upload pictures of thier own deceased children and think nothing of it??

I am guessing not.

This is really bad. {thumbs down}

internet must be free but not on these parts. Graphic violence must be controlled at internet, If not we will only be saying to psycopaths hey here is your food. Where ever you go even in a deserted island you will have rules. You dont go naked but you will always in need of clothes, thats what people do. You cant go and shit on the middle of street. If we dont prevent issues like these, next thibg we will see at internet is more death, rape, cporn etc. etc. Being normal is a common norm, being abnormal is a way that a human life can choose but most of us wont. We cant show suicide pictures, at net because it will only give users negativity, it is like saying go ahead jump on that bridge, we cant support death pictures because it is not a happy state and If we will do support that, than next thing audience will ask more harsh things. At some point you need to control people, and there is a thin line between sane and insane man inorder not to see more negativity (murder, molesting, rape, suicide etc.) we should support regularity and we have to say STOP to something awefully wrong. Maybe it is wrong for you but not for them, it doesnt mean they should getaway with the situation. At some point sharing content at internet has to be controlled, freedom is something beautiful but If you dont have boundries on that freedom it will be changing to infinity and it will soon make you tired and get dizzy. We all depend on each other so instead of supporting graphic violence, we should support love, peace, birth, enjoyments of life. Supporting a good energy or a good thought is like a good medication, it is the best motivation.

I agree with both of you, SealLion and roxy. TPB isn't right this time.

Surely their staff would want the pics removed if they were in the father's shoes?
It's easy to say "no no no" when it doesn't affect them directly.

Nobody's asking them to judge whether the images -or their uploading- is ethical or not, just remove them. Or else you're encouraging other people to put up this kind of shocking and graphic content and go unpunished, because of inaction.
