Pirate Bay Trio Lose Appeal

nk497 writes "Three of the four founders of The Pirate Bay have lost an appeal against their conviction last year of helping to share copyrighted material. It wasn't a total waste of time, however. The three have had their one-year jail sentences cut to between four and ten months. (The fourth founder was too ill to appear in court, and will appeal separately.) The foursome also had their fine bumped from 32 million kronor ($4.5 million) to 46 million kronor ($6.5 million)."

    Because essentially you know there is crime taking place and not reporting it. That's a neglect of your civil duty. (Would you do nothing if you saw a robbery, rape, murder, etc...)
