molbjerg:
Bummer.

Probably made an example of.
This case is far from over.

What suprised me the most is that Lundström actually was found guilty, wtf did he do? He hosted the server, well duh that's what his company do...

I want to see the courts foundation for this verdict... I mean, they host non-copyrighted material. They only facilitate a means of communication between clients... And being the biggest Torrent site out there being one of their goals is not implicating they do have illegal material on there.
Ofcourse the RIAA and MPAA are now going to be completely insane on cracking down on torrent activity... I mean, they won (for now), so there is a precedent now...

--- Quote from: globeandmail.com ---The court found the defendants guilty of helping users commit
copyright violations "by providing a website with ... sophisticated
search functions, simple download and storage capabilities, and
through the tracker linked to the website." [source]
--- End quote ---
I am not a lawyer or anything.. but that looks to me like every
search engine is more or less guilty as well.
