> After being found guilty of copyright offenses in connection with the operations of The Pirate Bay
Did Sweden fundamentally change their copyright laws or how could the piratebay guys be found guilty, in detail?
- olalonde 14y agoThey downloaded copyrighted material illegally?
- gizzlon 14y agohuh? In what way did they download anything?
- acuozzo 14y ago> They downloaded copyrighted material illegally? Are you asking this or is it a statement-question?
- olalonde 14y agoI was guessing... since TPB is still in operation I assumed their crime was not running TPB but more likely piracy.
- Schmidt 14y agoThey may have, but the charges were "assisting copyright infringment" and not copyright infringement. (Medhjälp till upphovsrättsbrott).
- olalonde 14y agoI stand corrected. I was under the impression that the charges were unrelated to TPB since TPB is still in operation.
- kahawe 14y ago> They downloaded copyrighted material illegally? Are you asking me or is this supposed to be an answer? Because TPB did certainly not DOWNLOAD "copyrighted material illegally?" and they never UPloaded it either and for many, many years they were defacto untouchable under Swedish law and were publicly ridiculing legal threats made against them because of that. So my question was a lot more detailed and valid than you probably assumed and either way please refrain from statement-questions as these are just plain rude.
