Hollywood sues The Pirate Bay. Again.
p2pnet news view | Movies:- Hollywood is after what used to be The Pirate Bay.
Again.
Disney, Universal, Warner Bros and Colombia Pictures are among Hollywood studios who want the Stockholm District Court to order TPB offline, says The Local, quoting recently embarrassed Hollywood lawyer Monique Wadsted (right) as saying:
“We’ve been forced to seek a court order demanding that they stop the spreading of these roughly 100 films and television programmes,” she states.
We say “embarrassed” because in an earlier attack on TPB guys Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg and Peter Sunde, someone she asked for help turned out to be a “fanatical Pirate Bay supporter”.
Now, “They`ve been sentenced to prison for criminal activities but haven`t stopped carrying out those activities,” the Swedish Wire has her saying.
Adds The Local:
“Wadsted added that the US film companies which filed the suit welcomed the possibility that The Pirate Bay switch to a legal downloading service under new ownership.
“According to Hans Pandeya, head of Global Gaming Factory (GGF), his company’s planned purchase of The Pirate Bay is contingent on finding a way to operate the website’s file sharing service in a legal manner” and, “If the site becomes legal, that`s good for us,” it has Wadsted stating, adding:
“But we can’t wait and see.”

They’ve been found guilty; they’ve been sentenced to prison; and now look how bad things are for them!
They’re still not IN prison; they don’t ACT guilty; their website is still UP; and the site’s buyout is contingent on something happening that will cause everyone to leave it.
Oh, and dozens of other private and public trackers flourish largely unknown and undisturbed by corporations.
