Earlier today Sweden's Supreme Court announced its decision not to grant leave to appeal in the long-running Pirate Bay criminal trial.

This means that the prison sentences and fines against the defendants are now final. The Pirate Bay website itself, however, wasn't part of the trial and will remain operational as normal. That is, unless the US Government chooses to intervene.

Crap Economy? Check
High Unemployment? Check
Numerous other more important issues? Check

US Government: "lets spend a lot of time going after people who download stuff, because hollywood asked us to"

I'm getting really sick of this.

When you push people far enough (especially people on the internet) they will push back.

And in the internet when people push back, tsunami's start rolling in

This is my opinion. If I want to put a website up about molesting goats I should be able to do it. However, if molesting goats is illegal in your country, state, province, city...whatever...you should have legal repercussions for visiting my site. Heh..not that I would want to make such a site

There is a lot of open source software that can be downloaded from there at higher speeds than if you were downloading it from a server.

I support the existence of the pirate bay. However, you can't use thing like there are legal stuff on the bay too so therefore all the pirated stuff should be disregarded in this conversation.

Simple, they want to have free stuff and make tons of excuses and imply that stealing the hard work of other people is some sort of "crusade", last I check stealing isn't freedom of speech, I guess if someone stole their car it was to express a noble idea and stick it to the MAN.

Riiiiight, we all know people use the Pirate Bay primarily to download linux isos, that's why it's still under 1% marketshare...

Because stealing a car is the same as downloading content, right? Man, I think you'd be a great politician.
