premise: The trial against Swedish file-sharing website The Pirate Bay is coming to an end, with the four defendents saying they're "confident we are going to win". Co-founder Peter Sunde is on trial with three co-defendents charged with "assisting in making available copyright material." A higher charge of "assisting copyright infringement" was dropped on the second day of the trial. But even if they are found guilty, it won't have any consequences for the operation of the site and its millions of users.
hypothesis: The site thepiratebay.org is one of the most visited BitTorrent destinations in the world.
