A quick piratebay update - Mark - 28-11-2010
Pirate Bay founders lose appeal
Jail time reduced, fines raised.
It's been a while, (April 2009), since the four pirate bay owners lost their case in a Stockholm district.
A Swedish appeals court has upheld the original ruling but changed the sentencing. Three out of the four have had their jail time reduced: Fredrik Neij gets ten months, Peter Sunde eight months, and Carl Lundstrom four. Gottfrid Svartholm was too ill at the time of the hearing; his "criminal liability" will be determined later.
The fine, however, has been upped from the original 30 million kronor to 46 million (US $6.4m).
