I thought no one seen those guys, because they keep stealthing around and never showed up on public. But that can be great! Because if largest torrent tracker will be closed, it will be a a sign for other torrents and maybe piracy will be strongly lowered You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

There had been a lawsuit already but there wasn't enough evidence against them and it wasn't presented properly (the prosecutor couldn't tell how torrent files worked etc.). This is a new lawsuit now, but according to the news it's only the first phase. I'm pretty sure they'll appeal to the supreme court in Sweden and that will take years. No jail until then...

They are going to appeal to the next court. It will take years before the whole thing is finished. Peronally I am ashamed of beeing swedish today after they have been sentenced. With a prejudice like this it should be possible to pyt car manufacturors to make cars that go faster than the max speedlimit in Sweden in jail too. It's illegal to upload copyrighted material. It is illegal to drive too fast. The Pirate Bay website provides a way to upload copyrighted material, BMW provides a way to drive too fast. Its up to the user to decide if he wants to break the law. And before you say anything more than 50% of the uploads on The Pirate Bay are actually legal uploads, less than 50% of BMW owners keep their speedlimit all the time You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

In my opinion there is far too many websites like ThePirateBay, so to close them all will really take a lot of time. What this trial and sentences should do rather is stop new sites from opening. Thats the way I see it now, and I am no justice nor police so I can't say for sure how they are really thinking and approaching this You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I don't think such acting of judiciary will solve anything. Up loaders and down loaders are safe, stupid court will attack the owner of the site, and claim that another milestone goal has been accomplished...Of course nothing will change. And creators of the Internet should be all sentenced to death, as so many boys and girls committed suicide because of writing a blog It's sad to see how clueless the "governments" can be in these days. Illegal file sharing has to be countered in some way, but choosing the wrong way, because having no idea of a better one isn't right IMO.

I agree with you Marek, there are better ways then this probably. I can however understand police and justice angle here. These guys started a MONSTER. By doing that they got other people involved to download things illegally. That way movie and record companies lost a lot of money as well as artists who were involved. So their approach is to start cleaning fish from the head down to the tale , and not the other way around. Guys who started it all were surely smart enough to think of ways how to get away with it. After all ThePirateBay has been existing for long time, and this is first time I hear they are on trial and sentenced. Obviously police is starting to work with movie and record companies closer and they want their money back. I just hope in all this action, artists get their deserved cut as well and the money doesn't end in wrong place You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Each company would have to go to court with them and sue them for lost profits, thing that most probably couldn't be estimated in any way...

But is it right to put innocent people to jail because of this? People have used their site for illegal purposes. Should we forbid telephone because people use phones to plan crimes? Sue BMW for selling fast cars and so on. You all keep forgetting that TPB owners hasnt uploaded ANYTHING illegal. And that most of the traffic is legal traffic. EDIT: Yes I would like TPB to stay, the entertainment industry should put all the money they are using to pursue this to musicians/actors/other ways to sell their music instead of this..

I am not lawyer nor know the case of what their rights are, but I am certainly not defending them. If we go down that road (BMW, Telephone, Internet...) and we forbid everything, we will end up 100's of years behind with technology and thats not helping anyone You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
