The Pirate Bay

Postby Pip » Sun Jul 12, 2015 8:24 am

The founders of infamous torrent tracker Pirate Bay have been acquitted in a Belgian court of criminal copyright infringement and abusing electronic communications.
Gottfrid Svartholm, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström have spent the last decade in legal issues across the planet but at least they can breath easy now on one case.

The alleged crimes were committed between September 2011 and November 2013, and this appears to be the most important note of the case as the founders have staunchly denied having anything to do with the site since its sale to Reservella in 2006.

In fact, Svartholm was in prison for most of the period in question and Lundstrom has not been connected to the site since he helped finance it in 2003. The judge was unable to connect the four to the operation of the site during the time frame and rejected the case outright.

EDIT: I don't think this is the end though.
