Idolator

A Swedish prosecutor filed charges against Hans Fredrik Neij, Per Svartholm Warg, Peter Kolmisoppi, and Carl Lundstroem, the four men behind the BitTerrorist haven The Pirate Bay, today. Prosecutor Haakan Roswall has claimed that The Pirate Bay "promotes other people's infringements of copyright laws" and makes money off of that promotion from its banner ads, and he's dinged the site for distributing 20 music files—including songs by The Cardigans and The Beatles—as well as nine movies and four video games.
