Pirate Bay stands strong
It’s been a wild week for the four guys behind the super popular BitTorrent site the Pirate Bay.
The first two days were fairly eventful, with the second day already seeing half the charges against Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström taken off the list.
Day three was fairly standard procedure, with the defense explaining that the Pirate Bay doesn’t host any of the illegal materials. Day four had the prosecutors questioning a couple of the Pirate boys, meanwhile the IFPI site was hacked by those protesting the trial.
