Ahar Jim Lad - TPB charges tossed overboard

Half of the charges trumped up ... erm made against the 4 riders of the apocalypse... sorry against the four men behind the file sharing directory site The Pirate Bay have been dropped on day two of the trial. Charges siting complicity in the production of copyrighted material have been abandoned by the prosecutor.
It appears that the prosecution may not understand the way that bit torrent works which may lead to further amusing developments, or may not because probably half the people there won't understand it either. I wonder how long it might take them to realise that torrents may actually increase sales for some material which otherwise would never see the light of day.
You see it you like it you pay for it, a new concept compared to the old method of you don't really know what you get til after you pay then you can't get your money back when it turns out to be crap or  Vista as we call it.
