Belgian Court Acquits Pirate Bay Founders

TorrentFreak is reporting that the four founders of The Pirate Bay have been acquitted of criminal charges in a Belgian court. This is not entirely surprising since the charges arose from the period 2011-2013, during which at least one of the four was already in jail and the site itself had been sold to another entity. In essence, this is the court saying that they believed the defendants' stories of non-involvement during that period. Other legal troubles are unaffected by this decision.
