Pirate Bay Verdict: Pirates Win Either Way
A win-win situation. That's what author Anders Rydell, who wrote a book about the Swedish piracy movement, calls the pending verdict in The Pirate Bay trial, due in on Friday. Four men associated with the defiant BitTorrent tracking site are on trial for contributory copyright infringement.

Rydell followed The Pirate Bay for two years and he's certain that no matter what, the pirates will come out on top. If they win, it will be a sign that file sharing is not illegal. If they lose, they'll be martyrs. Wired.com spoke to Rydell about the trial outcome.
