Great news for the internet.

I remember Pirate Bay being up for sale after being taken down then magically up again so why not go after the company that bought Pirate bay instead of these 4 guys?

I'm sure it's purely political and for show. It didn't seem like the prosecutors have much of a case considering one of the Founders was in jail during the time period the copyright violations occurred.

Pirate bay will never die. You can not kill an idea.

I'll always learn about a new domain every few weeks. It's like being an internet world traveller.

Hahah true. Its like playing whack a mole with the internet. Once you kill it on this domain, on to the next domain. Each time it comes back stronger too!

“Technically speaking, we agree with the court,”

What do you mean technically, it's the court, where the judgement is final, and what they say stands.

You can also disagree with a decision a court has made. (Example: 'murica's response to the supreme court's decision not many days ago)

The case was more or less dismissed on a technicality, they couldn't prove the 4 were involved during the period that where they (whoever "they" is) had evidence that TPB was allegedly breaking the law, so they had to dismiss the case.

I guess it could be similar to catching Al Capone on tax evasion charges and the IRS realizing they did actually get a tax form from him right before he gets sentenced.

Technically, proof that the accused could not have done it is not a technicality.

The site had been sold off five years prior, and one of the accused was in prison at the time.

I think I'm going with re-watch TBP:AFK Documentary tonight. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. It documents the Founders of TBP during their legal proceedings.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had not heard of this documentary before.

Here is a YouTube link to the documentary for anyone else that's interested.

Even though brokep is now a sellout SJW who scammed people via Hemlis and undeservedly rakes in loads of income via bullshit apps like flattr, it's still a very relevant and poignant film. Steal This Film I & II are also very informative.
