The Pirate Bay Is Making a "Spectrial" of It

IDOXLR8 writes "The Harvard Law students defending accused file-swapper Joel Tenenbaum are doing their best to turn his upcoming trial into a media event. But when it comes to pure spectacle, they have nothing on The Pirate Bay. TPB is referring to the event as a 'spectrial,' a cross between a spectacle and a trial. They have set up a site where you can track their current location, complete with journal entries. The trial begins next Monday and features a live audio feed and Twitter translations."

If Harvard law students are defending TPB

Then they are going to be prosecuted themselves for practicing law without a license. I hope Massachusetts has a certified law student rule, or that we get a better summary.

couldn't agree more, but the average slashdotter performs amazing mental and moral backflips if it lets him leech free music and movies.

Disgruntled 'buggy whip' maker are we?...GTFOI!!!

...Who the fuck is going to work 40 hours a week for free when they have bills to pay?

The same that do so now. Get over the fact that not everyone subscribes to your world view.

Go away, troll...you are not wanted or appreciated here. Your Jurassic Park business model is on the 'endangered list'. Get over it, and move on...and STFU- no one is interested!
