Anyone who gets a word tattooed across their foreheads should probably have their head examined regardless of what the word is. But if that word is “racist”, well they should probably just be shoved into a rocket and sent to another planet to live by themselves.

Looks like the verdict has finally come in and it’s bad news for the Pirate Bay — guilty. While this is definitely a landmark case in the realm of piracy, torrents and the distribution of copyrighted materials, it’s expected that the defendents will appeal the decision and that it could be years until the final decision is made.
It’s interesting to note that the guys behind Pirate Bay were convicted on “intent” rather than on the technical workings of the site. I’m no lawyer, but I think that’s always been the legal safety net for the webmasters in these situations — dubbed the “King Kong defense”. Since they’re not actually storing the copyrighted materials on their servers or initiating the transfers they aren’t committing any crime. The users are. According to them, at least.
If this verdict sticks then maybe we’ll see Canadian and American courts taking notice. I’m sure they’d just love to put the screws to those pirates.
