English Transcript of Pirate Bay Guilty Verdicts Released: Via Threat Level.

On April 17, the four co-founders of The Pirate Bay, the world’s most notorious BitTorrent tracker, were found guilty of criminal copyright infringement, ordered jailed and fined millions of dollars.

For the first time, the 77-page decision (.pdf)  has been translated to English.

The verdicts are on appeal to a Swedish court of appeals.

We covered the trial gavel to gavel from the Stockholm courthouse. But up until now, an English-language version of the actual decision has not been available.

Reporter’s note: The translation was commissioned by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, one of the music trade groups that brought the case against Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi and Carl Lundström.

Happy reading.
