The Stockholm District Court accepted the appeal of Gottfried Svartholm and Frederick Neuj, to the previous judgment in the case of the torrent tracker The Pirate Bay. This writes the
TorrentFreak with reference to the message of the Swedish edition of SvD.
The service itself continues to work, despite the litigation. The founders plan to transform it into a portal, which will be much more difficult to close. Meanwhile, Gottfried Svartholm has already noted that the members of the court lack the technical skills necessary to conduct a tracker case, which may complicate the course of the proceedings.
In October of this year, the District Court of Stockholm issued a decision in the case of the two founders of The Pirate Bay, according to which they were prohibited from continuing work on the tracker under the threat of a fine of 71 thousand dollars.

The Pirate Bay today remains one of the world's largest BitTorrent portals, allowing users to share music, movies, books and computer programs. This Swedish service is considered one of the most important elements in the global movement in support of piracy and anti-copyright. He gained fame in 2006, after the Swedish police requisitioned the servers on which the site was located. However, after three days he started working again on servers in the Netherlands, and after a few weeks he returned to Sweden.
