The law is slowly but surely evolving to try and prevent piracy from taking place, and when it does, to prosecute people suspected of illegal file-sharing. Which obviously isn’t good for The Pirate Bay, which is seeking to sneak around the problem with IPREDator.
The Pirate Bay
We’re around three weeks away from hearing the outcome of the recent trial at which The Pirate Bay was accused of being an integral part of Internet piracy. The verdict from the Swedish court is expected on April 17, although very little will likely change whatever the judge decides.
One part of The Pirate Bay’s defense was that only a small percentage (20 percent) of the torrent files it tracked were infringing copyright, with most being legal and legitimate. However, a new service being launched by The Pirate Bay seeks to help protect that percentage of people sharing copyrighted material, or at least that’s what I’m forced to conclude.
