No matter how many times law enforcement cracks down on The Pirate Bay, it will find a way to re-open, the Berlin chairman of the Pirate Party told RT - days after the website was taken offline by a Swedish police raid.

“It was already shut down in 2005, and the result was the creation of a party called Pirate Party coming with all the ideas of sharing of information, of knowledge and culture on the internet. And freedom on the internet,” Kramm said.

“So they came up with this: basically, each time you shut the Pirate Bay down, we will multiply,” he added.

The Pirate Bay offers links to torrents for file sharing, Kramm stressed, and the rights owners state that copying is a copyright infringement – despite the internet being “a huge copying machine.”

Thus, the internet “changed the view on public property,” but instead of re-formulating the copyright legislation, corporations still stand their ground concerning the copyright issues.

Kramm also said that music industry has opened for streaming, adapting to the new circumstances – and the streaming has become one of the strongest developing markets.

“We can see that this is working, and that copying on the internet doesn’t’ kill the market,” he told RT.

Commenting on the Pirate Bay’s only now being cracked down on so heavily by Swedish authorities, Kramm stated that “it’s not so easy in Sweden and Scandinavia to take down an infrastructure, especially when it’s carrying [on] like a party.”

“It’s a long fight,” he added.

However, the measures won’t work, Kramm said.

“If you just take one server away, it will have many copies somewhere else. It will not help at all.”
