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.'"

    So, your prosecutors are allowed to prosecute people for things they know aren't illegal in order to "save face"? And they can do this without reproach?

    Yeah I'm sure it is OUR system that makes a mockery of the justice system.
