The End of BitTorrent?

By jlutz99

ADVERTISEMENTS

Some of the people who run the BitTorrent site Pirate Bay are going on trial for copyright infringement in Stockholm Sweden.  BitTorrent is a massive peer to peer download site.  Here's an excerpt: (Read the whole article here.)


"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 in January 2008.
The Pirate Bay argue on their web site that, ?only torrent files are saved at the server. That means no copyrighted and or illegal materials are stored by us. It is therefore not possible to hold the people behind The Pirate Bay responsible for the material that is being spread using the tracker.?
Defendant Sunde was defiant when he told Reuters, "it's idiotic. There is no legal ground (for the charges)."
Premises connected to The Pirate Bay were first raided in 2006. The complexity of the case led to delays in charges being filed and the case being bought to court.
