"Unfortunately", no. Not a single SEK goes to The Pirate Bay. Peter Sunde and the rest of the crew has instructed the buyer to put all the money into a monetary fund overseas.
One must be a fool to believe that they don't get any money at all...
The foreign company certainly belongs to them, and they are trying to cash out twice (once by selling their company and by getting donations from their loyal supporters).
And even if the site belongs to a different party, they are running the site and are responsible doing the copyright violations. You can also not hide behind a company when you are commiting murder.
They committed murder? Providing links to copyrighted material may be considered bad by a lower court in Sweden, but you really can't compare it with murder.
Please learn to read before you write (kleiner PB Lemming). I didn't say they commited murder. I did just say that it doesn't matter if what they did was under the umbrella of a company or not. It is illegal, as it is illegal to commit murder, to print money if you have not the autorization, or to haress somebody etc...
2 things (just so you know why your getting downmodded :))
Firstly the flow of the original sentence referring to murder read as if you were suggesting they were quilty of commiting murder.
Secondly, yes you can hide behinda company - to an extent. In actual fact no one seems ot know the real owners of the site. Brokep and co. maintain it but since 2006 the owner, and thus the person most likely liable, is unknown.
(I have bets on it being someones dog or something)
