[Year 12 IT Apps] Most important trial of the century

[Adam Barbary]

You may not be aware, but one of the most critical court cases  
affecting today's youth is underway in Sweden. The case is against the  
individuals who host the torrent tracker The Pirate Bay (TPB). The  
Music and Film industry is accusing TPB of sharing illegal content via  
Bittorrent. Many of the kids in your class will be affected by the  
outcome, and almost none of them know it is taking place. Here is a  
link to a news site which is carrying information on the trial.

You will need to search through the site for all the reports of each  
day, which you can start from here;

This could lead to a good topical discussion.
