Pirate Bay: charges relating to ?assisting copyright infringement? dropped
 

What has been shown in court today is that the prosecutor cannot prove that the .torrent files he is using as evidence actually used The Pirate Bay?s tracker. Many of the screenshots being used clearly state there is no connection to the tracker. Additionally, prosecutor Håkan Roswall didn?t adequately explain the function of DHT which allows for so called ?trackerless? torrents.

The flaw in the evidence was pointed out by Fredrik Neij (TiAMO), who requested to comment on Roswall?s explanation of how BitTorrent actually works. Fredrik said that the prosecution misunderstood the technology, and told the court that the evidence doesn?t show that the Pirate Bay?s trackers are used.

This has resulted in prosecutor Håkan Roswall having to drop all charges relating to ?assisting copyright infringement?, so the remaining charges are simply ?assisting making available?. ?Everything related to reproduction will be removed from the claim,? he said.
