Swedish authorities filed charges against Pirate Bay operators on Thursday, the latest enforcement effort against the notorious swapping facilitator. The charges, lodged against four critical Bay members, include stiff financial penalties and the threat of jail time. Hans Fredrik Neij, Per Svartholm Warg, Peter Kolmisoppi and Carl Lundstroem were pegged for facilitating broad-scale infringement by senior public prosecutor Haakan Roswall.
Predictably, global trade group IFPI applauded the efforts, though Pirate Bay operators claimed innocence. The reason is that the Pirate Bay merely directs file-swapping traffic, instead of hosting files.
That defense will be tested in court, the latest chapter in a never-ending legal tussle. The Pirate Bay is routinely served with threatening correspondence and lawsuits, though most of those letters are posted on thepiratebay.org in mockery. More serious enforcement crackdowns - including a coordinated raid involving the MPAA and Swedish authorities in 2006 - caused little disruption.
