The Pirate Bay Interrogations
"During the two year investigation into The Pirate Bay, several people connected to the site were questioned. The Swedish police allegedly used some of the harshest (Jack Bauer like) interrogation tactics to get them to talk, with surprising results."
"When The Pirate Bay was raided back in 2006, three men were brought in for questioning, and the interrogations continued in the months that followed. The police’s goal was obviously to let the people behind the site confess to something they didn’t do. This led to a series of the most hilarious interrogation transcripts I’ve ever read.
Not surprisingly, "the confessions" of the Pirate Bay three didn’t help the police much. Earlier this week, the Swedish prosecutor Håkan Roswall charged four individuals involved with The Pirate Bay for "assisting copyright infringement". Actually, this is a surprisingly mild accusation if you consider that he called the Pirate Bay “terrorists” only a few months ago. The response of Brokep’s lawyer sums it up quite nicely: "My client will plead not guilty, but i’m not sure if what he’s being charged with, is a crime at all," he said."

Free The Pirate Bay, Wear Yellow for Sharing
In a few months from now the trial of The Pirate Bay four will start. The “Free The Pirate Bay” group on Facebook has proclaimed Friday February 8th to be “wear yellow for sharing day”, so everyone can show their support for the Pirate Bay team, and filesharing in general.
At the moment of writing, over 300 people have confirmed they will join the event. The “Free The Pirate Bay” group, with Peter Sunde (aka Brokep) as officer, is hosting the “wear yellow for sharing” event that will take place tomorrow.
At this point it is not even clear whether the Pirate Bay has to be freed. The Pirate Bay case is likely to be delayed until after the summer due to its complexity, according to Anita Thimberg from the Stockholm district court. “It can take weeks for the parties to simply go through all the documents included in the summons,” she told The Local.
Meanwhile, The Pirate Bay team can do with some support, since they are once again fighting their enemies from the anti-piracy lobby in the media. They even launched a court blog to respond to all kinds of wild accusations, and keep the users of the site informed. There they write: “Our enemies in Hollywood know that a court ruling won’t stop us. They know that silly legal threats won’t stop up. We believe they are using this process to spread as much dirt about us as possible. To make filesharing look dangerous and illegal.”
The blog post continues: “Expect the months around the trial(s) to be dirty! Expect our enemies to spread some nasty lies about us! This will not be a battle of right or wrong. It will be about who wins the debate in the media.”
