Pirate Bay Fires Video Bay Across YouTube’s and Hulu’s Bows

Pirate Bay Fires Video Bay Across YouTube

The folks behind the infamous Pirate Bay site (which tracks BitTorrent feeds worldwide) are apparently getting ready to fire another shot across the bow of the so-called Content Cartel with Video Bay, and experimental site that aims to provide high-definition in-browser via using new features in HTML 5 (like the <video> and <audio> tags) to stream content directly to users without making them wait for massive content to download first. And, in true Pirate Bay fashion, the site doesn’t seem very concerned with only providing access to material that’s being distributed with permission of copyright holders.

Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm and Carl Lundström – the four men behind The Pirate Bay file-sharing site – had hoped they might face a retrial after it was revealed that the judge who oversaw their case was a member of two pro-copyright groups in Sweden.

However, that will not happen after the Swedish Court of Appeals decided that Judge Tomas Norström was not biased in his ruling in the case. The defendants were sentenced to a year in jail and over $3 million in fines.

To some, The Pirate Bay is evil personified. To others, including its founders, it’s just a service that does nothing wrong. But the truth is about to be hammered out in a Stockholm courtroom as the three men behind the site and a dotcom millionaire who gave money to support The Pirate Bay go on trial for assisting copyright infringement, according to the Guardian.

The Pirate Bay co-founders, Fredik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg and Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi insist the site is legal because it doesn’t host any files; it simply acts as a search engine for those wanting to share files. Also, they say, it doesn’t make vast profits, and whatever money is made goes back into the site.
