Full FeedPirates from the Bay back in Court
Swedish prosecutors have charged the founders of one of the most popular file-sharing torrent sites - Pirate Bay - with conspiracy to break copyright law.
On the basis that Pirate Bay does not host the ‘illegal’ material, just offering links a la Google to material that already exists on the internet, it does seem like their reputation is going against them as there must be hundreds of sites and blogs across the internet that do the same thing, maybe not to the same level sure.
The files in question are a mix of audio, video and computer game files, including the Cardigans’ record “Don’t blame your daughter” and The Beatles’ “Let It Be”; nine film files, including “Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire” and the Johnny Cash biography “Walk The Line”; and four computer game files, including “World of Warcraft - Invasion”.
Typically bullish the founders Hans Fredrik Neij, Per Svartholm Warg, Peter Kolmisoppi and Carl Lundstroem are saying that even if found guilty (and they face a fine of 1.2 million Kronor, which is around $188,000 US dollars and up to 2 years in jail) it wont effect the service they offer. Gotta love them for their boldness if nothing else!
