Pirate Bay Founders Stare At Jailtime as Supreme Court Rejects Appeal

btarunr · Feb 1, 2012, 01:53 PM

Sweden's Supreme Court decided not to grant leave to appeal in the long-running Pirate Bay criminal trial. This translates to the earlier judgement of the Swedish Court of Appeal being upheld. In November 2010, the lower court had found four of the founders of The Pirate Bay, Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm, and Carl Lundström, guilty of criminal copyright infringement. Although Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström all had their prison sentences decreased from the levels ordered at their original 2009 trial, they were ordered to pay increased damages amounting to millions of dollars to the plaintiffs in the entertainment industry.

Peter Sunde, AKA Brokep, faces 8 months in prison. Fredrik Neij, AKA TiAMO, faces 10 months. Businessman Carl Lundström has the lightest sentence of 4 months. All will have to pay their share of a combined 46 million Kronor (US $6.8 million) in damages. In related news, the operators of Pirate Bay changed the domain name of their site from *.org to *.se to prevent seizure by the US Government.

With this said, we hear news from our old admins that they have received a verdict in Sweden. Our 3 friends and blood brothers have been sentenced to prison. This might sound worse than it is. Since no one of them no longer lives in Sweden, they won't go to jail. They are as free today as they were yesterday.

Not just the US Government. Your own government has to LET them first. So ether your government is a bunch of pussys OR they are working with the US Government. Take your pick. Blame is equal on both ends.

The entertainment industry seriously need to cath up with modern technology instead of trying to compete with it. TPB provides access to pirate content no more than google.

TPB doesn't host any content, just provides links

overclocking101 · Feb 1, 2012, 03:19 PM

Even if they are found guilty under Swedish law? The US and it's interest groups have pushed, well everyone really a lot, that is true. But it's still swedish law, not US. And when most nations do one thing it's hard to resist doing the same thing (in this case have more laws surrounding the internet), for various of reasons.

EDIT: I do think the punishment is out of proportions, but they are still found guilty.

Jarman · Feb 1, 2012, 03:57 PM

If they are found guilty under Swedish law then fair enough. Let's just say that they are found innocent under Swedish law, do you think the Americans will just accept that fact and leave it at that?? Or will they spit their dummy out like a child until they get their own way?
