The Pirate Bay Is Making a "Spectrial" of It

Posted by kdawson on Saturday February 14, 2009 @07:44PM from the step-right-up dept.

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."

Re:If Harvard law students are defending TPB by DeadPixels · 2009-02-14 20:06 · Score: 5, Informative

As far as I know, the Harvard students are helping defend an individual accused of file-sharing and have nothing to do with TPB.

If I remember correctly, a semi-famous law professor is defending the individual and his students are helping him.
