Full Version: TPB lost in court
I read the guys behind got their buts kicked in court. Over 30 million to pay to the industry and one year in jail. A couple of more rounds left though before the final word is said. I don´t think they will win though. Media reports everyone of them has a criminal record from before.
Oh, I so wish people will get their fact right before they post......!
"Jail and $3.6 Million Fine with Guilty Verdict in Pirate Bay Case
The defendants have no intention to pay the financial penalty imposed"
"Jail sentences and a $3.6 million fine came with the guilty verdicts in the Pirate Bay case. The four defendants, namely Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg and Carl Lundstrom, were convicted to 1 year in jail and a financial penalty of $3.6 million. The four were found guilty of facilitating access to no less than 33 copyright-protected files via the Piratebay.org Web site for illegal sharing."
In the Immortal words of Jeremy Clarkson:" I mean, just how hard can it be?!"

So second time typing this, hope it works this time around. What the hecks wrong with this board these days?
Well it depends on where you live does´nt it, I mean really know what´s going on. No way you can convert 32 millions of their kronors over to 3,6 million USD, just do the math. So maby you should check things out before you....... I´m living very close to where this happends so I only wish people will get their facts right before they post BS here. It´s a big world you know and the PB is not a US thing.So second time typing this, hope it works this time around. What the hecks wrong with this board these days?
Latest news is they might have to redo it all over again since the media found out the judge might be to close connected to the part representing the music/film etc etc industry.

USD is not used in Sweden. And it was not a fine to pay the government, but a compensation to pay the industry. The biggest compensation goes to 20th century fox who were awarded a compensation of approx 10,8 million kr (swedish kronor). The case is already appealed and will be tried under the next higher court (hovrätten), and I am sure it will go all up to the highest court (högsta domstolen) in Sweden. It is estimated that the final verdict will be few years from now maybe 5 years.
Altough the judge was a member of "Svenska föreningen för industriellt rättsskydd" (swedish association for the protection of industrial property), which deals with intellectual property, patents, trademarks etc. it will not have a consequence as the case already is appealed.

Yep this is right.
And it seems TPB is about to be sold for 60 millions Swedish kronors. The buyer states all is going to be leagal from now on.
Also it´s kind of cool the Pirat Partiet vill be represented in the EU, the swedish EU elections turned out to be really something this time around.
