Prosecutor Announces Charges Against Pirate Bay

A news article in Sweden's English edition of The Local, states that the people responsible for running a popular file sharing website thePirateBay.org may be facing charges. A case like this could mean something, because the site does not contain any illegal material but it does link to it. Sweden used to be a safe haven for file sharing websites, however with the raid on thepiratebay servers last year that changed. It will be interesting to see whether or not this makes it to trial, and whether under Swedish law they will be found guilty.
