THE PIRATE BAY VERDICT
AND THE FUTURE OF FILE SHARING
JR Raphael
"The verdict against the founders of The Pirate Bay is being hailed by many as a triumphant win against illegal file-sharing. The four men involved in the BitTorrent tracking site were found guilty on Friday of being accessories to violating copyright law. A Swedish court sentenced each of them to a year in jail and a collective fine of $3.6 million. In the long run, though, the verdict may not be as significant as some suggest when it comes to the battle against online file-sharing. Does the name Napster ring a bell? (...) Let's say this whole thing plays out in the high court and The Pirate Bay loses. Let's say BitTorrent completely ceases to exist as a result. (Just play along for a minute.) Would that, then, be the end of online file-sharing? The answer: of course not.
Even in that extreme (and extremely unlikely) scenario, little would be accomplished in the grand scheme of things. Technology is constantly evolving. Just as more advanced decentralized peer-to-peer networks sprung up in the wake of Napster's shutdown, new alternatives would surface once again were a site like The Pirate Bay to lower its sails. Already, countless other methods exist for exchanging data with ease, and more will only pop up as the months wear on. (...) 'As in all good movies, the heroes lose in the beginning but have an epic victory in the end', boasts a message posted to The Pirate Bay Web site Friday morning. 'That's the only thing Hollywood ever taught us'. If there's one Hollywood analogy to be made, it's that this storyline is far from finished. Rest assured, more sequels are on the way".
