The Pirate Bay's final day in court (for now).

From TorrentFreak:
Today, The Pirate Bay trial will probably come to an end, but not before the defendants’ lawyers have their final say. All four lawyers call for their clients to be acquitted on various grounds, while offering caution to the court to ignore the political aspects of the trial.

My Comments:
It's been an interesting trial so far for those watching. Could this be the end of the Recording Industry as we know it? Or will pirates everywhere have to find a new place to download digital contraband?

Congrats on your new blog! I like it.

I've suffered from these SOBs stealing my books, so I hope they get their comeuppance. These "pirates" don't care about anyone - except themselves. As I understand it, they made a decent living at thieving.

I'm guilty of using Pirate Bay, but they don't pirate books. Mostly music, computor games, movies and programs. They don't ask for money, so one wonders how they profit.

Now I can see how it would affect the small time vendor upon whom their living depends. I sympathise with them. But 'robbery' is a two way street in consideration of the 'Big guys'. I wouldn't buy their stuff at all, if I couldn't get it free or was forced to buy at exhorbitant rates.
