The Final Day of The Pirate Bay Trial

"As The Pirate Bay returns after being offline all night, the lawyers of defendants Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Swartholm, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström present their closing statements to the court.

"Apparently, Fredrik (TiAMO) got the site back up from inside the courtroom. "I fixed the Pirate Bay from inside the courtroom just minutes ago. The site is back online," he told blogger Oscar Swartz.

"First to appear is Fredrik Neij's lawyer, Jonas Nilsson. He said that the technology behind TPB is completely legal and Fredrik never had the intention to violate anyones copyrights - his main interest was the technology at the site and he was a technician there."
