The Pirate bay 4 co accused were found guilty in Sweden of the lesser charge of "contributing to copyright infringement and sentenced to one-year prison terms each".

However it's not over until they fall off the end of the plank, they will appeal and that is likely to take up to 6 years, meanwhile Piratebay will continue.
In this case, some red faces when it was exposed that the a chief police investigator and witness, Jim Keyzer was found to be an employee of Warners in his previous job.
Warners were one of the plaintiffs in this case.

Irish ISP providers will not block access to Pirate Bay until a court order is granted to one and all.

Only in Sweden  :)
"The National Museum of Science and Technology (Stockholm) announced yesterday that it had bought a server owned by The Pirate Bay confiscated by police last year. The museum paid SKr2,000 for the server and will display it in its archive of illegally copied material."

there main argument was something like they are providing a legitimate facility for file sharers themselves to share legal files the real criminals are the ones who use it for illegal purposes....
