A Swedish court has found the four men behind the popular Pirate Bay website guilty of assisting copyright infringement, though the website plans to appeal the ruling. All four of the individuals were sentenced to one year in prison and each must pay a fine of $905,000. Co-founder Rasmus Fleischer insists the trial was "theater", and that the website will continue to function. "As in all good movies, the heroes lose in the beginning but have an epic victory in the end anyhow," said a message posted to the Pirate Bay Website. "That's the only thing Hollywood ever taught us."
