-- TPB (The Pirate bay) owners in clink. (http://www.vcdhq.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=85855)

TPB owners in clink.

BBC News link.

They were being all cocky, seemed sure they weren't going to be found guilty. Wonder what impact this ruling will have on the P2P scene?

They say the appeals process will last years though, and they'll probably never have to pay anything.

It's obvious this was always going to happen even if the reasons to convict were tentative at best... The various rights holders lobby groups etc have spent a lot of money, time and effort ensuring that laws are biased towards them - you do realise how corrupt these fuckers are don't you?

Sunde even told media last night that a court leak had informed him that he would lose this morning's case.

He wrote on his Twitter account minutes before the decision was due: ‘Really, it's a bit LOL. It used to be only movies, now even verdicts are out before the official release.’

I'm sure they'll use this decision to put pressure on other sites, even if they're not dong the same as TPB. "See what happened to them? Do as we say or the same thing will happen to you!"

Well done thread de-railed before it even started. They can stick pirate bay where the sun don't shine , apart from it does distract from everyone else, still mininova get that role now. a domino effect might be a bit worrying.just reformatted and re-loaded windows my spell checker dissapeared and this took ten minutes to type??

"Hollywood's Victory Over The Pirate Bay Will Be Short-Lived"

Hollywood may have won a battle, but the war against piracy is far from over. Unauthorized file-sharing will continue (and likely intensify), if not through The Pirate Bay, then through dozens of other near-identical swashbuckling Web sites.

Peter Sunde, and Carl Lundstrom -- say they can't and won't pay the $3.6 million in damages and promised the site will continue running.

Depending on how you read it, they don't make any profit (except to go toward buying Sealand).

If the ludicrous ruling by the Swedish court is applied elsewhere, then certain 'review' sites are playing Russian Roulette with direct links as well.

D'oh! Yeah, I use ABP on FF. I just install it as a matter of course and completely forget that its there. It obviously works a treat

I would imagine the ad revenue is fairly substantial from that sort of ranking.

Yeah sorry. Not real up to date on UK ISPs so I wasnt sure how clear that would be to others.

^Yup, just been reading this on The register... BT Mobile customers only and you can call them and request that the site be unblocked. They've blocked it due to kids with phones and porn (or something) and not because you can download the latest Hollywood wankathon from there (although you could argue that it's more important to protect kids from that turgid brainshit than a few pornos)

* Judge in Pirate Bay Case Member of Pro-Copyright Groups

The verdict in the Pirate Bay trial surprised many people, seeing as how many errors the entertainment industry's lawyers had made, and how little understanding they seemed to have of how BitTorrent works. The height of the sentence also surprised many; for sharing just 33 copyrighted items, the four founders were sentenced to one year in jail, and a massive fine of 3.6 million USD. Well, as it turns out, we now know why we were all relatively surprised: the judge in the case, Thomas Norstrom, is member of the same pro-copyright groups as many of the people representing the entertainment industry in the case.

Retrial

The whole trial must be declared a mistrial and redone from scratch."
