This morning a Swedish court handed down its decision in the case against the four men behind The Pirate Bay, the world’s biggest file-sharing site. They were found guilty of breaking copyright law and sentenced to a year in jail.
Defendant Peter Sunde made a Twitter posting that said:
"Nothing will happen to TPB, this is just theatre for the media."
He said he was given the verdict last night, although it wasn’t due until today.
"It used to be only movies, now even verdicts are out before the official release," he wrote.
