The Pirate Bay Trial Begins

by Sravan on February 17th, 2009

We have all heard of the Pirate Bay, the bit torrent search engine site. It was sued by some biggies of the MPAA like MGM Pictures and Sony BMG, and the case began its trial yesterday in the Stockholm district court.

A police investigation took place way back in 2006 and the current trial is considered a consequence. The trial is being closely observed by the world because its judgment has the power to determine the future of the Internet regarding copyright infringement laws and rethink where cyber law stands.

The Pirate Bay is a Swedish site that facilitates users by providing links to torrents. It is considered the world’s largest bit torrent tracker and with an Alexa Rank of 109, I can now imagine how popular the site has become.

The Pirate Bay has millions of supporters and I am not one among them. I respect, encourage and support open source, but I have no delusions that those who take part in copyright infringement are being Robin Hood -ish. Music, movie, publishing and software industries are largely impacted by piracy and I can feel the pain when someone takes my content without my consent.

Without meaning to make it a Super Bowl match, on which side are you?
