Sweden indicting PB owners on Thursday

said by David See Profile :

After all the RIAA and MPAA made them famous.
Sounds like Sweden out to close them once again:

Public prosecutor Hakan Roswall said last week he will charge the Swedish site's organizers with accessory and conspiracy to break copyright law, which could lead to fines or up to two years in prison.

The charges will be filed in a district court on January 31.

"It's not merely a search engine. It's an active part of an action that aims at, and also leads to, making copyright protected material available," Roswall told Reuters.

"It's a classic example of accessory -- to act as intermediary between people who commit crimes, whether it's in the physical or the virtual world," he said.

Roswall said it could take more than convictions in Sweden to stop Pirate Bay. "Because the infrastructure is scattered among several places around the world... no separate country will be able to stop the site," he said.

But he believes advertisers could have second thoughts about using Pirate Bay if a guilty verdict is handed down. "That can be the sort of thing that influences the site in the long run."

Looks like they failed to pay off the right people.

This really is crazy , the guy is one of maybe a handful of folks there that think they are doing something illegal , but yet they are following the letter of the law in that country.

The U.S. has probably pressured them yet again. I think we need to keep our nose out of other countries business.

Believe it or not, there is an international copyright organization(IFPI) that pursues copyright infringement worldwide.
»www.ifpi.org/
IFPI represents the recording industry worldwide, with a membership comprising some 1400 record companies in 75 countries and affiliated industry associations in 49 countries.
And every country has laws protecting copyright and they also have music companies and artists that demand action by authorities. The U.S. doesn't need to pressure Sweden to enforce their own laws. I am sure they get enough pressure from their own companies and artists.

yea but I thought with their laws they had to be charged with a crime that would imprison them, not a fine.

They would have to do jail time in order to get it to fly if relakks.com 's faq is any authority
