Prosecutor Announces Charges Against Pirate Bay

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the timbers-be-shivered-then dept.

paulraps writes "Almost a year after a police raid on the Pirate Bay's servers, a Swedish prosecutor has announced that he intends to press charges against the individuals behind the file-sharing giant. They will be prosecuted for various breaches of copyright law, reports The Local. But a Pirate Bay spokesman was defiant, saying, 'I think they feel they have to do it. It would look bad otherwise, since they had 20 to 30 police officers involved in the raid.'"

    "And why, exactly, did you name your website 'freeilllegalchildpornography.org?'" Shock value.

    And note, it wasn't "illegal" but rather "ill legal", i.e. sick-but-legal cartoon images not featuring depictions of actual children.
