In April 2009, owners of the Swedish file-sharing website, Pirate Bay, upon their conviction as accessories to copyright infringement, were sentenced to a year of imprisonment and ordered to pay 30 million kronor (about US$3.56 million) in damages. Jan 15, 2007 · Swedish file-sharing website The Pirate Bay is planning to buy its own nation in an attempt to circumvent international copyright laws. The group has set up a campaign to raise money to buy Sealand, a former British naval platform in the North Sea that has been designated a ‘micronation’, and claims to be outside the jurisdiction of the UK or any other country. This phenomenon, known as 'bulletproof hosting' has become a rising trend in recent years, particularly since the successful Swedish prosecution of file-sharing website The Pirate Bay in 2009 (see The Guardian, Internet pirates find 'bulletproof' havens for illegal file sharing, 5 January 2010 and see box, The Pirate Bay case). This Swedish organization is a great Limewire alternative. The Pirate Bay is free to use like all of the other music file-sharing sites on this list. The best way to “repay” this enormous peer-to-peer site is to continue sharing your file once it’s complete. This keeps the files alive so more people can enjoy them.
