| Pirate Bay Founders Discharged And Acquitted In Criminal Copyright Case by Emman8(op): 7:13pm On Jul 10, 2015 |
Four key Pirate Bay admin are happy this morning. After standing trial of committing criminal copyright infringement and abusing electronic communications, yesterday a Belgian court freed Gottfrid Svartholm, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström. It is clearly visible The Pirate Bay is the most infamous torrent site of all time. Its attitude towards copyright and related laws has landed the site and its admins in endless legal trouble for more than a decade, conflict that ensue everyday. Following the convictions of The Pirate Bay 4– co-founders Gottfrid Svartholm and Fredrik Neij, former site spokesman Peter Sunde, and site financier Carl Lundström – most legal matters involving the site have been connected to local ISP blocking injunctions. Nevertheless, a separate legal process against the men themselves has persisted in Belgium. Unusually, the case was based in criminal law, with Svartholm, Neij, Sunde and Lundström all standing trials of a range of crimes including criminal copyright infringement and abuse of electronic communications. However, the case itself has always experienced problems. All four defendants deny having had anything to do with the site since its reported sale to a Seychelles-based company called Reservella in 2006. That has proven problematic, since the period in which the four allegedly committed the crimes detailed in the Belgian case spans September 2011 and November 2013. Having failed to connect the quartet with the site’s operations during that period, the case has now fallen apart. Yesterday a judge at the Mechelse Court ruled that it could not be proven that the four were involved in the site during the period in question.
