    Des nouvelles de #Peter_Sunde Pirate Bay Founder : ‘I Have Given Up’ | Motherboard
    ▻http://motherboard.vice.com/read/pirate-bay-founder-peter-sunde-i-have-given-up

    I have given up the idea that we can win this fight for the internet.

    The situation is not going to be any different, because apparently that is something people are not interested in fixing. Or we can’t get people to care enough. Maybe it’s a mixture, but this is kind of the situation we are in, so its useless to do anything about it.

    We have become somehow the Black Knight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail. We have maybe half of our head left and we are still fighting, we still think we have a chance of winning this battle.

    So what can people do to change this?

    Nothing.

    #capitalisme

    The amount of employees in these companies are smaller then ever before and the profits are, in turn, larger. Apple and Google are passing oil companies by far. Minecraft got sold for $2.6 billion and WhatsApp for like $19 billion. These are insane amounts of money for nothing. That is why the internet and capitalism are so in love with each other.

      > I have given up the idea that we can win this fight for the internet.

      Ca m’a fait mal de lire ça, mais c’est peut-être vrai. Ma première réaction était de me dire que l’Internet vivra tant que je pourrais router entre mon réseau et celui de mon voisin avec un câble RJ-45, un lien Wi-Fi ou une valise de spools UUCP... Oui un Internet aussi atomisé serait une régression des usages - mais l’Internet vivra. Mais d’un autre côté l’histoire permet déjà de conclure que la majorité des utilisateurs lui préféreront le non-Internet rapide avec strass et paillettes... Si vous avez besoin d’une confirmation, comptez vos contacts XMPP ! Or sans la masse des utilisateurs, le fait que persiste un réseau ouvert fréquenté par au plus un millième de la population n’a aucune importance politique - et c’est bien ça qui compte.

      So, we should just let it crash and burn down, pick up the pieces and start over?

      Yes, with the focus on the big war on this extreme capitalism. I couldn’t vote, but I was hoping Sarah Palin won last time in the US elections. I’m hoping Donald Trump wins this year’s election. For the reason that it will fuck up that country so much faster then if a less bad President wins. Our whole world is just so focused on money, money, money. That’s the biggest problem. That’s why everything fucks up. That’s the target we have to fix. We need to make sure that we are going to get a different focus in life.

      Hopefully technology will give us robots that will take away all the jobs, which will cause like a massive worldwide unemployment; somewhat like 60 percent. People will be so unhappy. That would be great, because then you can finally see capitalism crashing so hard. There is going to be a lot of fear, lost blood, and lost lives to get to that point, but I think that’s the only positive thing I see, that we are going to have a total system collapse in the future. Hopefully as quick as possible. I would rather be 50 then be like 85 when the system is crashing.

      Je pense que ce Peter Sunde possède un certain sens de l’humour, probablement sarcastique, mais qui interroge. Au moins il ne va pas par 4 chemins pour exprimer des faits qui sont simples à comprendre. Non vraiment, je trouve qu’il a beaucoup de courage pour exposer crument sa pensée.
