Default Re: Pirate Bay hit with legal action

Pirate Bay Admins Charged with Assisting Copyright Infringement | TorrentFreak

Roswall consequently asks the court for a $188,000 fine for the four individuals - Fredrik Neij (”TiAMO”), Gottfrid Svartholm (”Anakata”), Peter Sunde (”Brokep”) and businessman Carl Lundström - and the confiscation of their computers. Among the works that were mentioned in the charges are “Let It Be” from the Beatles and Harry Potter’s “The Goblet of Fire”. In addition the four face up to 2 years in prison, but this is very unlikely based on the evidence gathered by the authorities.
According to reports the site generates annual ad revenue of more than $4 million, so I'm sure that fine won't be a problem.
