And The Pirates Strike Back

So, The Pirate Bay has determined a way to actually use entirely legal methods to completely bankrupt the law firm representing the music industry against them.

Damm clever bastards.

Clever indeed. I do, however, doubt that this will effect anything other than the legislative views towards TPB. Seriously, bankrupting the lawfirm isn't going to free them from anything.

Wowww.

wow, spoilt child much?

Pretty much what I was about to say, only better worded. No way they're gonna allow this.

it's straight to the point and undersandable, what more do you need?

Who cares about the war on terror? This one's far more entertaining!

really, it either changes nothing, or removes the fine. If the company does in fact go bankrupt, the fine no longer has a recipient and thus does not need to be payed.

Yeah I just mean something will probably be done to prevent it. Something also legal.

I cant think of anything aside from just straight up not allowing the transfer of money.

Good boys ^^

What will happen, is this lawfirm will find that the pirate bay conspired against them, and take THEM to court AGAIN. The pirate bay guys have been successfully prosecuted for doing perfectly legal things before. It can very well happen again.

There is such a thing as fraud, or, in this case, conspiracy of fraud. They're not invincible.

And then what will they do, RT? Fine them again?

Hopefully something much more dire. Consiracy to commit fraud, if I remember correctly, carries jail time in a few European countries.
