I'm trying to install java jre, i usually do it like this

sudo echo 'deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5CB26B26
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install update-sun-jre
exit

but when i do

sudo echo 'deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

i see

permission denied: /etc/apt/sources.list

When i do

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list
