Submission + - Pirate Bay founders found guilty
Alioth writes: "The Pirate Bay founders have been found guilty in Sweden of breaking copyright law, and have been ordered to pay a fine of 30M kronor (£2.4M, US$3.6M). Peter Sunde has already defiantly replied in a Twitter posting that "Nothing will happen to TPB, this is just theatre for the media." The damages were awarded to a number of entertainment companies, including Warner Bros, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI, and Columbia Pictures. Of course, it remains to be seen whether the Pirate Bay founders will pay up (or even have the means to pay up)."
