Pirate Bay Gets a 4,000-Page Complaint

Posted by kdawson on from the ianal-but-that's-a-lot dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Swedish prosecutors appear to be close to finally pressing charges against The Pirate Bay, having served them with 4,000 pages of legal papers. While this might appear bad, the administrators have already moved some of the servers out of the country, so Swedish prosecutors can't shut it down, even if they want to. Moreover, the people of Sweden are decidedly on their side, with the Pirate Party, which is sympathetic to TPB's cause, being one of the top ten political parties in the country. Still, this looks like a dirty trick on the part of the prosecutors — like they're dumping all of this on the defendants in the hope that they won't have enough time to sort through it and defend themselves. For comparison, the second-biggest murder case in Sweden required only 1,500 pages."

    The Libertarians are probably the 3rd or 4th largest party. What power do they have?
     
    The majority of Americans believe in legalized marijuana usage for medicinal purposes. How many people can get ganja in the US with a prescription and not fear being jailed or fined for it?

    I find the "mafiaa" tag amusing given that the Pirate Bay is actually organized crime. Grow up, Slashdot -- flaws in copyright law or no, bittorrenting movies does not give you some sort of moral high ground. "Oh no, the government served them with documents for breaking the law! Fascism! Fascism!"

    copyright laws are going to be enforced and you are not going to destroy the copyright system

    my best suggestion to everyone using p2p to pirate music: quit, and be quick about it. get rid of that p2p software before you get into real trouble

    A) No one cares what one nut like you thinks. B) Greens and libertarians are composed of anti-social nitwits like yourself and as parties. The reason they are in their own parties is because they smell bad, have poor personal hygeine, and can't get a long with anyone else. Many with their same views but not body oder and social ineptness are actually parts of the two major parties. As parties, they have diametrically opposed points of view. C) Very, very few politicians in the US are actually bribed. That's a typically neurotic viewpoint of nitwits like yourself: of course the only reason someone doesn't think the same way you do is because they are paid off.
