At last the Swedish police have manufactured some hyperbolic evidence in a last ditch attempt to generate some sort of face saving case.
http://www.thelocal.se/9830.htmlFour people involved in the running of file-sharing site The Pirate Bay were indicted in Sweden on Thursday on charges of being accessories to breaking copyright law.
Hans Fredrik Neij, Per Svartholm Warg, Peter Kolmisoppi and Carl Lundström, are suspected of organising and running The Pirate Bay, and thus "promoting other people's infringements of copyright laws," according to charges filed by senior public prosecutor Håkan Roswall.
Magnus Eriksson, a spokesman for pro-file sharing lobby group Piratbyrån, predicts that The Pirate Bay will survive the trial even in the event of a guilty verdict.
It's not very likely. In the course of the investigation there have been attempts to bring up various things that The Pirte Bay has supposedly been guilty of. Before it was financial crime, and now this accessory thing seems to be the last straw for the prosecutor," he said.
This case will actually place the Swedish judiciary on trail more so than the site operators, will they follow the existing laws correctly or will they yeild to political pressure that will take some of the US pressure off of the Swedish Government, time will tell I,m sure.
