Pirate Bay defendants found guilty

[Slava V]

A Swedish court on Friday found the four defendants in the high-profile Pirate Bay case guilty, sentencing each to a year in jail. The defendants were also ordered to pay a total of 30 million Swedish kronor ($3.6 million) in damages to copyright holders, among them a number of American media giants.

The four men--Peter Sunde, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Fredrik Neij, and Carl Lundström--were found guilty of having made 33 copyright-protected files accessible for illegal file sharing via the Piratebay.org Web site.

Их признали в пособничестве, а не в самом нарушении копирайта. К тому же подадут апеляцию и может быть там им всё простят. Так что публикация ссылок карается годом тюрьми по гуманным шведским законам.
