While doing other things on the web tonight, I stumbled across this eBay auction for a t-shirt.
Yeah, so what, you're saying. T-shirts are sold every second on eBay. Right?
Well, the story behind the t-shirt is what makes the auction interesting. The auction is being offered by the Swedish owners of PirateBay, one of the web's most popular piracy/warez sites.
This auction may not be JC in a piece of toast, but it is definitely a page from the odd files. I wonder if the buyer will actually pay up? And if they will actually make it to Sweden to see if it is true that polar bears really don't wander the streets there? And why, if they can afford a trip to Sweden and the purchasing of copious amounts of alcohol for probably a large-ish swedish man and his fellow pirates, why they wouldn't just buy their software and music to start with?
Would be cheaper wouldn't it?
Or is this proof that price/cost isn't everything?
