Sweden - Considered as a "landmark verdict", four founders of the "The Pirate Bay" file-sharing website (P2P) were sentenced for one-year in jail. Frederik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Carl Lundstrom and Peter Sunde were found guilty of breaking copyright law, but the four men denied the charges arguing that the files are not hosted on their servers.

It resonates the recording studios attempt to put a stop to piracy. The message is clear, Warner Bros, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI, and Columbia Pictures is serious with their copyright laws.

The Pirate Bay is the world's most high profile file-sharing website and was set up in 2003 by anti-copyright organisation Piratbyran, but for the last five years it has been run by individuals.

Millions of files are exchanged in TPB everyday.The question is: Will this incident essentially stop the file sharing industry now that the recording companies are confident that there is a legal advantage for them after this verdict?
