Really feel sad about the verdict and hunt for the innovative guys at the pirate bay. There is no way to stop this movement with new innoative models for sharing content. Strong beliver that the content consumtion goes up as filesharing increases.

What's the music, film industry doing to be innovative??? We need new models for content creation and sharing, filesharing could be one....
