BitTorrent tracker site The Pirate Bay, currently in court in Sweden over piracy allegations, will no longer face a charge of copying copyrighted works.

On the second day of the high-profile anti-piracy case, the prosecution amended its case against the file-sharing site's founders after apparently misunderstanding the technology.

Basically, founders of Pirate Bay will now face lesser charges since they didn't actually host copyrighted material.

Just thought the "epic winning" comment was hilarious...

The people prosecuting the case didn't understand bit torrent? Remind me to move to Sweden if I ever want to do something illegal.
