http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_pirate-bay1.jpgThought the Pirate Bay (http://gizmodo.com/tag/thepiratebay/) saga was done and dusted (http://gizmodo.com/5373196/its-a-terrible-day-to-be-a-pirate-bay)? I'm sure you can spare a few more tears for Universal Music (http://gizmodo.com/tag/universalmusic/), EMI Music (http://gizmodo.com/tag/emimusic/), Sony BMG (http://gizmodo.com/tag/sonybmg/) and Warner Music (http://gizmodo.com/tag/warnermusic/), who are still chasing their money from the two Swedish escapees.
Both Gottfrid Svartholm and Fredrik Neij moved outside of Sweden after the trial, and while The Pirate Bay (http://gizmodo.com/tag/piratebay/) site is still up and running, the law can't exactly prove the duo are still behind it. Nonetheless, that hasn't stopped the aforementioned labels trying their hardest to recoup 1m Kronor (USD$142,770).
Neij is still adamant they're no longer behind The Pirate Bay, and as he already owes 50m Kronor (which is around USD$7m), "a few million more or less doesn't really affect me."
One day, they're going to make a movie about all of this. Hopefully starring Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley.
