Title: Sweden targets The Pirate Bay Post by: Alex on January 28, 2008, 10:13:12 PM Sweden targets The Pirate Bay
Sweden's public prosecutor Hakan Roswall plans to charge the Pirate Bay's organizers with accessory and conspiracy to break copyright law, which could lead to fines or up to two years in prison. The charges will be filed in a district court on January 31. The Motion Picture Association of America and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry are among those who have called for action to shut down the site. No copyright material is stored on Pirate Bay's servers. The Pirate Bay only manages torrent files, which contain the information needed to download film or music files from others. That has not stopped copyright sentences before. As TPB grows, it is only a matter of time before they fall, and when they do, it will be a huge blow to piracy. But it won't be a deadly blow.
