Live from the trial: prosecutor states his case
February 16, 2009 – 10:26 amLive from the trial: the prosecutor is now stating his case against the TPB crew. He started out describing the BitTorrent protocol, pointing out that all components were necessary. He’s stating that TPB is mainly (!) used for the infringement of copyrighted works, that it is financed through advertising, and that they are therefore infringing on copyright on a commercial basis. This appears to be where he is aiming.
(Lots of details about which works have been file shared.)

Jakob: Actually, I was overwhelmed and don’t have time to keep blogging in English. Instead, I recommend Google’s translation of my Swedish blog.

Nice to hear the 4 guys were convicted. They certainly deserve it.
