Following the trial against The Pirate Bay is quite fun, especially since they are winning. Over the last few days, some really fun things have been said by the prosecutors and the media industry representatives."Oavsett lagstiftningen så är det inte tillåtet att tjäna pengar på andras upphovsrättsskyddade verk utan att betala för sig."
-- Monique Wadstedt - företrädare för de amerikanska filmbolagen vid Pirate Bay-rättegången.
Translates to "Even if the law says otherwise, it's not allowed to make money on other peoples copyrighted material without paying".

During the trial they had to drop half of their case, since the prosecutor side had misunderstood quite important details about how trackers work. But my favourite is "You have porn commercials on your site, which make Warner Brothers look bad and people will associate their brand with porn".
