#2They are almost sure to get nailed for it now I think - and a good thing too.
Neither side winning is a good outcome for the rest of us but I prefer to see the idiots dealt some of their own punishment for once ;D

Agreed, you're talking about the Movie Companies/IFPI getting nailed right?

#4Here's my bet: they are found guilty for something, don't get jail time or much of a fine, but are required to shut down or modify their operations. If I were a judge, I would see the prosecution's claims as exaggerated, but would probably look askance at the fact that these guys have done nothing at all to remove trackers pointing to copyrighted material, and have actually made fun of those requests.

Indeed. I guess if they will be force between changing something or move, they will move to another country. So nothing will change anwyay.

#6Continually blogging about the courtcase, partying, inviting livebloggers and sending live feeds from the court is an excellent PR strategy for Thepiratebay.
If they're found guilty there'll be an uproar, and the Swedish authorities and judges know they're being watched closely by an international community.

Actually, I'd argue that TPB winning would be a good outcome for the rest of us, but even if they don't, it's only a matter of time. Patterns are not things, and the only way to paper over the difference is to make it harder to work with patterns... but that's not the way technology is going.

I dont buy that. Please explain why that would be good?
If the music companies win then perhaps the idiot pirates start to acutally get scared. Then us sensible lot can sit down with the companies and get them to do things right. Stuff is moving in the right direction (Apple going non-DRM for instance) these guys are dinosaurs and holding things back. Send em down.
I fail to see how anyone can condone TPB ever.... they damage the file sharing community like nothing else before.
(ps am amused at the downmodding of my comment.... way to support piracy.. ;))

#9Could anyone estimate the costs of running The Pirate Bay? I've heard that the site could be grossing millions a year from advertising, but I'm also assuming that the costs are extremely high. I was interested in finding out financial information for the site, but it looks like it won't be released.

As far as I knew since the '03 (I think 03) raid their servers are located in a different country anyway.
