well what i do know is that they are in prison atm and are awaiting their appeal as technically speaking from reading the news articles they are in no way in the wrong and did not break any laws so ja..... :p lets just wai and see what happens :cool:

I highly doubt this is in the right forum, but anyway.

I know they got given a year in prison but they said they were keeping the site up. I don't see the point in pressing charges against them.


CD and game sales continue to rise, so is it really that big of a deal? What do they wanna accomplish with this?

ja and they received something like a 30 000 000sek fine which is about $17.5mil but non of them are going to pay up and all of them are going to appeal win and probably sue those companies for damages or something :p

thing is this ... their site contained no illegal material ... it merely pointed to people who did.

For all intents and purposes, google's browser should also be judged by the same hammer as a simple google search will lead you to illegal material too.

So where's the difference come in?

And for the record - not all torrents are illegal.

I use Mininova -give them a try if you want to find something in the mean time while ur waiting for pirate-bay.

yeh well thats the thing every torrent site i know of are just a form of information for the torrents to track down the software..... it should be places like rapidshare and all that who should get busted... they host files on their servers.... :rolleyes:

yaaaaay it just came up again!!!!!! :D it is going to be a hudge mission to shut down the piratebay
