In cooperation with the military intelligence, French police shot down Snowtigers - the biggest French Bit-Torrent tracker that counted about 250.000 users.

Torrents are going mainstream: after The Pirate Bay launched its Facebook Connect application, now group around TorrentTwitter are combining file sharing with micro-blogging.

BSN* and GigaTribe teamed to give a 90-day Ultimate account (a $14.97 value) to all readers of Bright Side of News*.

The Pirate Bay appeal the court's decision - But they may have a lucky break in getting the ruling overturned as the judge is in "conflict of interest", as he is a member of copyright protection organizations.

Geoff Lloyd, one of most popular radio hosts in UK publicly stated that he is supporting The Pirate Bay in its fight against the record industry.

The four defendants of The Pirate Bay: Peter Sunde, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Fredrik Neij, and Carl Lundström were found guilty of having made 33 copyright-protected files accessible for illegal file sharing via ThePirateBay.org

The verdict has passed and three founders plus enterpreneur Carl Lundstrom all received verdicts - follow the press conference on TPB.

So The Pirate Bay added a function to share the torrents you want to download with your friends on the Facebook. Now, is this really a good idea?
