4 nhà sáng lập The Pirate Bay được tòa án Bỉ xử trắng án
hôm qua - Tinh tế

Các nhà sáng lập nổi tiếng đã được sau khi bị kết tội và lạm dụng truyền thông điện tử bởi một tòa án tại Bỉ. Trước đó, bộ tứ quyền lực của The Pirate Bay gồm Gottfrid Svartholm, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde và Carl Lundstrom đã phải đối mặt với một loạt các hành động pháp lý liên quan đến hoạt động điều hành của họ trên trang web được xem là "nơi ẩn náu" của các nội dung số bất hợp pháp.

Phán quyết mới được đưa ra xoay quanh tuyên bố của các nhà sáng lập rằng họ đã không còn tham gia quản trị trang web do đó không thể chịu trách nhiệm.

Theo thông báo từ TorrentFreak: "Cả 4 bị cáo đều phủ nhận việc tham gia quản lý The Pirate Bay kể từ khi trang này được bán lại cho công ty Reservella có trụ sở ở Seychelles vào năm 2006. Trong khi đó, thời gian 4 nhà sáng lập bị tòa án tại Bỉ cáo buộc phạm tội là từ tháng 9 năm 2011 đến tháng 11 năm 2013.

Do không thể chứng minh mối liên hệ giữa 4 bị cáo với hoạt động của The Pirate Bay trong khoảng thời gian nói trên, bản án dành cho họ trở nên thiếu chắc chắn. Đến hôm qua thì một quan tòa tại tòa án Mechelse đã đưa ra phán quyết rằng tòa không thể chứng minh 4 bị cáo có liên quan đến hoạt động của trang web trong khoảng thời gian điều tra."

The founders of The Pirate Bay, arguably the world’s most visible torrenting site, were acquitted by a Belgian court Thursday of charges alleging criminal copyright infringement and abuse of electronic communications.

“The Pirate Bay Four,” consisting of Gottfrid Svartholm, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström, have faced an almost comical amount of legal action related to their involvement with the torrenting site, which has proven to be an elusive haven for illegal copyrighted content online.

The case here hinged on the founders’ claims that they had ceased their involvement with the upkeep of the site and could not be held liable.

TorrentFreak reported:

All four defendants deny having had anything to do with the site since its reported sale to a Seychelles-based company called Reservella in 2006. That has proven problematic, since the period in which the four allegedly committed the crimes detailed in the Belgian case spans September 2011 and November 2013.

Having failed to connect the quartet with the site’s operations during that period, the case has now fallen apart. Yesterday a judge at the Mechelse Court ruled that it could not be proven that the four were involved in the site during the period in question.

Though the Pirate Bay founders are likely destined to face continued legal action against them in other courts of law, Thursday’s victory represented a glimmer of good news for the cyber swashbuckling crew.

A Belgian court Thursday acquitted the four co-founders of popular torrent website, the Pirate Bay, who were charged with copyright infringement and electronic communications abuse, according to media reports. The court in Mechelse town stated that the prosecution did not provide enough evidence to show that the four were part of the website between September 2011 and November 2013.

Pirate Bay’s founders Gottfrid Svartholm and Fredrik Neij, former website representative Peter Sunde and website investor Carl Lundström reportedly said that they were not involved in the activities of the file-sharing website after it was sold to Reservella, a Seychelles-based company, in 2006.

The legal problems for the co-founders started in 2009 when all four were found guilty of copyright infringement by a Stockholm, Sweden, court. They were ordered to pay $4.8 million to the entertainment industry in compensation for lost revenue and sentenced to one year in jail, RT.comreported. However, an appeal court reduced their sentences two years later but increased the compensation to $6.9 million.

Also, Neij, who was detained on the Laos-Thailand border last November and jailed in Sweden, was released on June 1. “Things were not too bad in prison. It was well worth doing prison time for The Pirate Bay, when you consider how much the site means to people,” he said last week, according toInquistr.

The Pirate Bay, founded in 2003, is one of the most popular file-sharing websites.

The Pirate Bay founders acquitted in criminal copyright case filed against them in Belgium
After facing a lot of turbulence last year and at the start of 2015, The Pirate Bay team seems to have something to cheer about. Yesterday a Belgian court acquitted the three founders of TPB, Svartholm, Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and its financier, Carl Lundström from criminal charges in a copyright case for infringement of intellectual property, forgery and abuse of electronic communication.

The case was filed by Belgian Entertainment Association (BEA) against the quartet and charged that during a period spanning September 2011 to November 2013, TPB had violated its copyright. It had asked the court for criminal charges against the four which could have amounted to prison time for the TPB founders.

However BEA’s case fell flat as all four defendants deny having had anything to do with the site since its reported sale to a Seychelles-based company called Reservella in 2006. In case of Svartholm, the charges look equally ridiculous as he was is Swedish jail for almost a year during the period of the charges.

The prosecution failed to connect the quartet with the TPB’s operations during that period. Due to this reason the case against the quartet has fell apart.

Yesterday a judge at the Mechelse Court in Belgium ruled that it could not be proven that the four were involved in the site during the period in question.

The lawyers for the BEA agreed with the decision which mean that the quartet are now free of any criminal wrongdoings in Belgium. “Technically speaking, we agree with the court,” saidOlivier Maeterlinck, director of the Belgian Entertainment Association (BEA).
