Pirate Bay Reader

The trial against The Pirate Bay starts tomorrow.

Get It Try It

Swedish state prosecutor Håkan Roswall has been bulldozing his way through to the courts on his own Sherman march and claims it will all be over by 5 March 2009.

The outcome is a foregone conclusion: Swedes find themselves threatened with economic sanctions if they can't - or refuse to - string up The Pirate Bay. Money talks; justice walks.
