Police Closes Pirate Bay Investigation, Trial Awaits

Interesting

Police Closes Pirate Bay Investigation, Trial Awaits
Written by Ernesto on December 10, 2007

The police investigation into The Pirate Bay has finally came to an end. Today, the Pirate Bay received over 4,000 pages of legal paperwork. There doesn?t appear to be any evidence that suggests The Pirate Bay is involved in any illegal activities, but that is up to the court to decide now.

pirate bayDuring the Pirate Bay raid in May of last year, the Swedish police confiscated 180 servers, most of which had nothing to do with TPB, and actually belonged to other customers of Pirate Bay?s ISP.

The Pirate Bay was back online only a few days after the raid whilst the police continued the investigation.

The police, and prosecutor Håkan Roswall spent over a year trying to find something they could use against The Pirate Bay crew. Now, after having extended custody several times, they think they have enough evidence to start a case.

Last month prosecutor Roswall announced that he plans to press charges against 5 people involved with The pirate bay, stating that the 5 individuals will be charged with ?facilitating copyright infringement? before the end of January next year.

Today there was another milestone as the Pirate Bay crew received all the legal papers, just over a month before they will be charged. Brokep from The Pirate Bay told TorrentFreak that they will ask for an extension. ?I?m not going to spend Christmas and New Years eve reading these piles of paper,? he added.

Unhappy with all the paper wasted on the case, Brokep and the ?The Pro Piracy Movement? bought 5 trees, to compensate for the environmental losses.

The evidence consists of reports about files that were found on the servers, and as can be seen from the picture, a lot of top torrent lists. It also reveals personal details on the people who are involved with the Pirate Bay, as well as the alleged money streams. Brokep told TorrentFreak that they don?t have any evidence that The Bay is doing something illegal according to Swedish law.

On a side note, whilst the police may not have found evidence that the BitTorrent tracker was involved in illegal activity, they did find a bug in TPB?s tracker code ?Hypercube?. Apparently the number of downloads reported by the software was incorrect because of some counting issues. Apart from that SKL (State Crime Lab) certified it to completely follow the BitTorrent standard.

Unfortunately they found this bug a little late, The Pirate Bay switched to new tracker software a few days ago.

yeap, arrogant fucks. Profiting off of other people's hard work and they feel they have a right to do this.


The thing that I always mentioned about them was that they are hypocritical. They want to come across as people who believe that everything should be free, blah blah blah, but yet I am sure they charge a nice amount of money for advertising space and i bet they turn a nice profit. But they are doing it because they believe the everything should be free.... sure they are. They are a bunch of greedy fucks trying to get rich from stolen content.

it would seem to me that if they are going to prosecute, they must have a decent case for it. with all the publicity and the legal precedents being set, i can't imagine them taking a losing case to court.

got to love all the comments, the replies looks like the acts of 15-17 year olds.

they are the types of people who break rules of affil programs, then call program owners scammers.

torrentfreak is biased anyway, its like the foxnews of the torrentworld.

the only time you watch it, is when you want to have a laugh

yeah, it mentioned "facilitating copyright infringement" - not sure why they are so confident that they are not breaking any laws. but if you watch and read interviews with them, they seem to be very sincere and genuine in their belief that they are some sort of Robin Hood types, standing up to the big, bad, greedy corporations.

getting charged does not mean they are breaking swedish law
GETTING CONVICTED DOES
