The Pirate Bay Is Being Sued Again
BuR4N writes with news that 10 US movie companies have filed a suit in Swedish civil court seeking to shut down The Pirate Bay and impose a fine on its three former operators, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg and Peter Sunde, as well as the site's bandwidth supplier. Speaking to TorrentFreak, Sunde said, "It's another day in the whole soap opera of TPB. They're suing us in Stockholm where none of us live. They're suing us over something which we don't own. I think the most funny part of the whole suit is that they just write: 'Reservella is a company run by Fredrik Neij' — out of 40 pages of paper that's all they have to say, and it's so wrong. They have no paperwork to back it up." Meanwhile, plans for The Pirate Bay to be sold to Global Gaming X seem to have stalled.
You'd think that they'd have learned their lesson from the last trial to just keep their mouths shut.
But like has been their style since the days they began getting legal threats, these people just can't seem to shut up for their own good.

There's no debtors' prison anymore, so at least they have that going for them.
>>They keep throwing arond "They're suing us over something which we don't own" - if I make alot of money through a company I own which is involved with illegal behaviour - selling the company does NOT strip you free from all crimes.
Fail.

Hell I even have to pay tax to park my car in a national forest and go hiking.
You're lucky. If environmental extremist groups have their way, national forests will be off-limits to human beings. They only way you'll have to enjoy them is when National Geographic or Discovery Channel get special permits to film inside these restricted areas.
