Torrents are hot these days. A lot of people enjoy them so much. But big companies are flexing their company muscles nowadays. The Pirate Bay, a popular BitTorrent tracker located in Sweden has literally been slapped by tons and tons of legal documentation seeking to stop it from operating.

According Ars Technica, the Pirate Bay has received more than 4000 pages worth of the documentation related to the legal case. Overkill. One of the worst murder cases in Sweden only had 1,500 pages. It seems that the big companies are in for the big kill to stop people from using torrents to download materials from the Internet. 

The Pirate Bay, however, plans to weather this assault on their operations. Peter Sunde, an admin of Pirate Bay said that conviction is unlikely. If it happens though, they will surely take the case up to the European Union Court. The process can last anywhere between four to six years.

People using torrents all over the world are hoping that the big guys won’t succeed in toppling down The Pirate Bay. The problem, however, is that the big companies usually win in this kinds of cases. Let’s wait and see how the case will turn out.
