As for copyright i think it needs some major reforms myself, like the expirey period.
True, but if I remember the trial correctly they never managed to show that the files they had downloaded as evidence actually were fully tracked through The Pirate Bay. If I understand the thing right, the torrent file can and do often contain more than one tracker. So in theory, you can download a torrent file from one site,say The pirate Bay, but the tracker used is provided elsewhere or even from more than one place?
