The Pirate Bay, notorious for providing BitTorrent files of all things copyrighted and illegal have lost a trial in Sweden today.




The news first surfaced from founder Peter Sunde who used Twitter to break the news. Sunde said "according to leaked information from the court we lost (got the news last night). Trustworthy source as well." Sunde is also insisting "nothing will happen to TPB, us personally or file sharing what so ever. This is just a theater for the media."

The four defendants named as Frederik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Carl Lundstrom and Peter Sunde have been sentenced to 1 year in prison for "aiding in copyright infringement" coupled with a fine of 30 million Swedish kronor (£2.4 million/$3.6 million).

A higher charge was dropped after shaky evidence at the beginning of the trial. The Motion Picture Association of America and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry are among those who have called for action to shut down the site. Critics of the trial claim Swedish authorities caved in to pressure from the US film industry.

have a ook at al the other sites/companies that sell things they shouldn't. windows takes the linux kernel, and although its open source, isnt it suposed to be marketed as linux??? and what about other sites like microsoft itself. it practically gives away the software. i just found a site that tells me a link to get to microsoft to upgrade any non xp prosp3 computer to pro sp3 and theres no reinstalling. have a look. pirating is all around. you can not take it away. for every site ou rip of its foundation another will pop up just as good, or better. for all those people who think they can pul down tpb you are wrong.
