Pirate Bay considers appeal to European Court
Sweden’s top judges have refused to grant Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij and Carl Lundstrom the right to appeal against their guilty verdict, essentially making their eight-month jail sentences and USD7m fine a certainty. However, Sunde, who now runs online micropayments service Flattr, says in a blog post that the Pirate Bay will “probably” take their case to the European courts. Sunde accuses members of the Swedish legal system of having a financial vested interest in protecting online copyrights. In the meantime, the Pirate Bay has redirected its main site to a mirror, thepiratebay.se. This is probably an attempt to avoid having the .org domain seized by US authorities.
