In a textbook example of "dweilen met de kraan open", the landmark trial against Torrent website The Pirate Bay will take off today in Sweden. The founders of the torrent website are charged with aiding millions of internet users gain access to illegal content. Basically the entire entertainment industry is amassing against The Pirate Bay, making this one of the biggest trials against internet file sharing in history.

hmm clearly the author of this article has never watched Steal this film parts 1 and 2. After the pirate bay was raided the first time, the administrators set up a worldwide series of cells sort of like a terrorist group, where servers were setup many of which the owners of the pirate bay themselves are unaware of the locations of. These servers activate when the main website is taken offline and are located in many countries such as russia and mexico. Taking down the entire network will be akin to taking on Al quaeda, and that doesn't even begin to go into the problem of non pirate bay bittorrent servers which are all over the place. Win or lose the pirate bay itself will be with us for a very long time.
