766010 2009-04-18 08:36:00 Seems over the top punishment, expected better of the Swedes. prefect (6291)
766011 2009-04-18 12:12:00 Do the Swedes allow PC access in their prisons? These guys,
if they go down, will have loads of time to improve/ update
the site or to construct another from their laptops. Maybe
they will simply consentrate on generating the cash needed
to pay off the fines imposed.
I'm expecting Limewire/Frostwire to be the next target for
prosecution. They have been raided a few times already.

766012 2009-04-18 12:37:00 I thought limewire wouldve been killed already too - its even simpler to use than bittorrent.

Attack the most public p2p site, scare people off - it doesnt matter what their sentance is-remind people that they should be buying that 29.95$ CD album with 3 songs on it you like! :P

766013 2009-04-18 12:43:00 As a result of the verdict the Swedish Pirate Party has gained 5,000 new members, making them 20,000 strong. They will probably qualify to get financial aid in the next election (they are basically guaranteed 1% or more of the vote, and that's what you need to qualify) I wouldn't be surprising if they even got a seat in the Swedish Parliament!

766014 2009-04-18 21:59:00 Limewire surely not. prefect (6291)
766015 2009-04-19 01:47:00 limewire is really a useful anti pirating tool cos the ammount of **** on it makes siftin thru porn and viruses to get what you want not really worth it hueybot3000 (3646)
766016 2009-04-19 01:58:00 They've already said that they cant afford to pay the fine (so wont be paying). No matter what the court says. Speedy Gonzales (78)
