Just got word that the founders of the Pirate Bay (the ever popular bit torrent) were found guilty of breaking copyright law, and are sentenced to a year in Jail, and a fine of £31m. If you’re not familiar with the Pirate Bay, you’ve either been living under a rock for the last decade, or you have a life. Either way, this is big news, and I must admit, I’m surprised that they were actually found guilty of piracy, and sentenced at all. The major fact of the matter that contributes to my bewilderment is that the Pirate Bay founders reside in Sweden (and from what I understand, copyright law is very loose, to non-existent over there).
