Yesterday, the verdict in the Pirate Bay case was announced, and it might have been a surprise to the part of the audience that respond to their aliases more than to their names.

Last month, the case against the Pirate Bay started in a court in Stockholm. Already in the second day of the trial, half of the charges were dropped “due to serious shortcomings in the prosecution evidence.” All charges for “assisting copyright infringement” had to be dropped because of non-cleared evidence material, inaccurate screen grabs and other evidence flaws. The remaining charges are for “assisting making available.”
