Pirate Bay Founders File Appeals With Human Rights Court

[silicon_toad2000]

Now it appears that both Neij and Sunde are aiming for a hearing at the European Court of Human Rights.

“Essentially we’re arguing the same as we did in the previous court case, regarding the e-commerce directive as the basis for TPB being legal, Sunde told TorrentFreak.

Further detail comes from Neij’s lawyer Jonas Nilsson who says that Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees citizens of Sweden the freedom to receive and impart information. The Pirate Bay’s services – to transfer non-proprietary information (.torrent files) among users through an automated process on the Internet – is protected under that article of the Convention, Nilsson says.
