A court in Sweden has jailed four men behind The Pirate Bay (TPB), the
world's most high-profile file-sharing website, in a landmark case.

"It's so bizarre that we were convicted at all and it's even more bizarre
that we were [convicted] as a team. The court said we were organised. I
can't get Gottfrid out of bed in the morning. If you're going to convict us,
convict us of disorganised crime.

"We can't pay and we wouldn't pay. Even if I had the money I would rather
burn everything I owned, and I wouldn't even give them the ashes."

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government
fears the people, there is liberty.
