The Pirates Sail Away

Written by Edina Nasseri

Monday, 23 February 2009

I’m sure everyone knows about the ‘Spectrial’ (spectacular trial) of Piratebay the popular online torrent website.

Well the website is posting daily updates with regards to the trial. It will be interesting to see how the ‘law’ will prosecute TPB or if they even can. One thing is for certain, you can’t win with these pirates...Arr Matey!

According to Peter Sunde from TPB, “...TPB knows that about 80% of all the traffic on the internet is torrent related and about half of these 80% are our traffic...therefore, 40% of all internet traffic is passing through The Pirate Bay...”

On day 4, when asked if advertiser Oded Daniel was involved in the technical aspects of Pirate Bay, Neij replied “...No, he’s not good at that. He uses Windows…” laughing came pouring in from the listening lounge and not the main courtroom (where the mainstream media was seated).
