A huge mistake...

A huge mistake was done this Friday, April 17. A judge condemned Redrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm, Peter Sunde e Carl Lundstroem to 1 year in jail AND to pay around $3.6 million.

Now you thing "but what crime they done? They killed someone?" No, they simple launch a web site where people can share your torrents file. They called Pirate Bay.
For a long time I thing this is an file server with copyright content, and I confess that I did some downloads there :) But when the process give space on the news I understand that Pirate Bay dosen't store anything!!! And this is the wrong idea that a lot of people has about this site. For understand your purpose just read the legal section and about section. Then asking again "what crime the done?"

Ok the entertainment's industry won this match, congratulations... Now a little common sense to know what would happen today. From one side 4 guys that create a web site, another side the movie and music industry with your money.

By the way... the official news I read here

You steal (or help others to), you go to jail, and you pay restitution. I don't see what's so hard about that?
