Pirates convicted!

Posted by patrick on April 17, 2009 at 2:04 pm

Although Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, asserts that copyright infringers will have to give up the word to those modern seafaring criminals off the Horn of Africa, today’s news can still assert that copyright Pirates have been convicted. Four people associated with the site The Pirate Bay, were found guilty as announced today in Swedish courts.
The trial was considered of sufficient importance that Swedish television broadcast the entire proceeding online, a first.
While the defendants were sentenced to one year of jail and over $3.6million in fines, they are expected to appeal the verdict.
