Pirate Bay Gets Another Bad Ruling

Pirate Bay Gets Another Bad Ruling

Looks like the poor guys over at The Pirate Bay can’t seem to catch a break. While I honestly can see why they didn’t win the case, I am a little surprised that they ruled the judge wasn’t unbiased.

The announcement of the review led to speculation [...]
