BuR4N writes "The Swedish ISP "Black Internet" was to day ordered to shutdown the file sharing site The Pirate Bay or pay a fine of half a million Swedish Kronor the Swedish newspaper "Dagens Nyheter" reports (Link to Google translation of page). The owner of "Black internet" comments that they do not have the money to risk, but at the same time comments that they are only one of the ISPs used by TPB (even if they are the largest) so TPB will probably find a new ISP willing to provide internet connection. With the reason media tsunami regarding (Swedish news in English, http://www.thelocal.se/21660/20090824/) the TPB one wonders if there is any chance for a "legalization" of the service to succeed."

Having a cost free (ad sponsored) account alternative (not for the iPhone version) and a lightweight streaming application with a fantastic music choice, it certainly going to be interesting to see if it can shake up the music market in the US."

The last time it was IFPI ( http://www.ifpi.org/ ) that sued and won the first round in the court, the verdict was much debated especially when details about the judge being member of organisations around the copyright lobby emerged. The Local (Swedish news in English) has a good summary of this new turn in The pirate bay story. http://www.thelocal.se/20954/20090728/"
