Notable File Sharing Site Staff Found Guilty

[coolbho3000]

I know you can't say the name of it here, but the staff of a very notable file sharing site just got found guilty by a Swedish court (you guys probably know what it is). The four have been fined the equivalent of USD $905,000 each and sentenced to one year in jail for "assisting in making copyrighted content available."

Of course, they are planning to appeal the decision.

Unfortunately this will have dire consequences for internet freedoms... Can't link to a source because that will give it away.

Aw, I remember a time when you couldn't even say the name of these sites. Good call. Haven't been on the temp for a while.
