Pirate Bay founders found guilty

[drama]

lol you can get like 14 years for being caught filming a film in the cinema and thet get one year for owning the most popular site for torrents

probably because they don't actually host anything but still lol, good to see websites still up though I wunna catch the new Wolverine film

[timROGERS]

I don't really see the point in prosecuting the people behind the site when it's evident the sit wont go down. Clearly the companies just want repaid rather than the piracy to stop, at least that's the way I see it.

Well I suspect it's a case where ideally they would get rid of it forever, but in the absense of the possibility of doing that, they settle with getting some money to make up for it

[LOLROB]

The thing is I don't thing the pirate bay are doing anything wrong to be honest they are not hosting any illegal files on there servers just the .torrent files which are a few kb's

I've downloaded all my music from there and because I have hear'd the music then I then go any actually buy the CD sometimes.

I also download TV shows which I have missed on TV

At the moment I am downloading my name is earl episode 23

The pirate bay will never die!

The irony lies in the fact The Pirate Bay always use Swedish law to defend themselves against companies complaining, saying Swedish law doesn't find it illegal: http://thepiratebay.org/legal.php

But now Swedish law has changed... The pirates have been plundered. Aaargh.

The worst part is that US corporations pressurised sweden, a developed country, into changing their laws in order to get this trial through.

Piracy is illegal, but since the record companies are refusing, or at least moving very slowly, to keep up with the current trends suing TPB will do nothing.

Too bad, feel sorry for them
