Pirate Bay Still Experiencing Legal Problems
In July, more than ten major movie companies, including Disney, Universal, Warner, Columbia, Sony, NBC, and Paramount, issued a subpoena to the Stockholm District Court requiring that the Pirate Bay halt its activities. All of these studios would like the courts to force these internet service providers to shut the site down.
Nevertheless, the Pirate Bay continues to function normally; further continuing the ongoing battle, which may take years to settle. In May, the music industry’s plaintiffs, which include Universal, EMI, Sony, and Warner, made clear that they were unhappy with their current attorney, Peter Danowsky, and applied to the court requesting it start additional fines on three of the defendants, Fredrik Neij, Goddfrid Svatholm Warg, and Petere Sunde Kolmisoppi, for as long as the studio’s copyrights are being infringed. Now the movie industry is asking for the support of the television industry as well.
Companies which include Columbia, Disney, NBC, Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Universal and Warner are suing the Pirate Bay’s owners asking the court to cease copyright infringement. They also have in common with the music industry taking action against the Pirate Bay’s bandwidth supplier, Black Internet AB.
Included in the movies and television shows listed which infringes on copyrights are Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, The Simpsons, Watchmen, and Harry Potter. These shows were named through their legal representative, Monique Wadsted.
