Will The Pirate Bay shut down by the end of July?
Pirate Bay’s Peter Sunde (Brokep) was pretty non-plussed by the claim: “They know they are losing, and try to make us look like big criminals by adding some zeros to a claim for a made-up crime.”
“The worst thing is that I lost 100 kronor on a bet on the number they would come up with,” Sunde added. “And, it sucks that they didn’t claim more than for Napster and the other sites. It’s cooler to break the record.”
Competing torrent search engine, TorrentSpy shuttered earlier this year and has just been hit with a $110 million fine handed down by a LA Federal Court. The Pirate Bay, which on April 1st relocated to the Sinai desert (http://tinyurl.com/3232wl) [joke], claims it is protected under Swedish law. However, MPAA isn't giving up. Could this be the end of Pirate Bay?
