Re: Poll: Will The Pirate Bay Crew Be Found Innocent or Guilty?
piracy just makes a copy from tiny bit pieces of the original from various people(so no one ever really gives out a complete copy of what they have to others)and the original never changes.
Theft on the other hand completely replaces the original with nothing i.e now you see it now you dont!
the verdict:
innocent!stop wasting the court's time,

I haven't really been following it, so I have no idea what the verdict is looking to be. But I definitely hope they're not found guilty.

They will be found guilty unless the judge decides to set a liberal precedent. This blog breaks it down very well and makes it easy to understand without prior knowledge. http://www.futureofcopyright.com/ind...ge=news&id=313
I won't bother debating this on a forum full of fellow pirates, but most of the arguments tossed about by pirates are specious, shallow and unpersuasive. Unless a series of judges wish to give a very liberal reading to the current copyright laws (which are, pursuant to international treaties, intentionally nearly identical in all modern industrialized western nations) or the legislature wishes to completely alter the copyright laws, using torrents, usenet, any p2p service, to download copyrighted material is clearly an infringement of copyright as things stand.

I think they'll find them innocent for now but the prosecutors won't give up the case if they lose this trial.

That is not a win. If any tracker had a chance at creating a pocket of legality, it was TPB. This is clearly a foreboding sign for private trackers. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some takedowns now that there is a legal precedent so symbolic.
A win would be effecting significant changes in the policies of the EU, US and CAN.
