It's been a while since the four Pirate Bay founders lost their case in a Stockholm district court -- April 2009, to be more precise. The verdict was of course appealed, but alas, it was not to be. A Swedish appeals court has upheld the original ruling but changed the sentencing. Three of the quartet have had their jail time reduced: Fredrik Neij gets ten months, Peter Sunde eight months, and Carl Lundstrom four (Gottfrid Svartholm was too ill at the time of the hearing; his "criminal liability" will be determined later, according to BBC News). The fine, however, has been upped from the original 30 million kronor to 46 million (US $6.4m). That's seriously going to cut into their Black Friday shopping plans, but hey, we know a great way to pick up the Adobe suite. Well, maybe not.

Lawls, law enforcement is cracking down hard on illegal download sites. Its funny

I can't really say I'm surprised.. but it seems law enforcement finally got the stick out their ass.

Ehh, there are bigger fish to fry than these guys and the only people complaining are the record companies cause we all know that they need that money to survive week by week.

Keep in mind, it's not just music you can get there. :P

True, but they still complain the most.

Should probably mention they didn't get arrested here.. they're in Sweden.

Just sayin.
