Regarding the 3.5 musd each figure... I just want to point out that the industry, err, bought, err, judges was much sneakier than that.

Only one person behind the pirate bay actually has any assets worth seizing. So they made the fine collective, if one person does not pay his part the others have to fill in.

In effect this makes three already poor people bankrupt and one quite wealthy also very bankrupt :)

The pirate bay will have a new trial in Sweden conveniently scheduled after the elections in a higher instance.
