Pirate Bay: "We can’t and won’t pay"
April 20, 2009
One of the co-founders of The Pirate Bay website has said that the one-year prison sentences handed down by a Swedish judge are “weird and bizarre” and insisted that the defendants “can’t pay and wouldn’t pay” the $3.6million fine.
In a press conference, Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi held up a handwritten IOU to the camera and said “that is as close as they are going to get from me. Even if I had any money I would rather burn everything I own and not even give them the ashes. They could have the job of picking them up. That’s how much I hate the media industry.”
The Pirate Bay site will continue to run because it was the four co-founders, and not the site itself, that were on trial.
