Here's my bet: they are found guilty for something, don't get jail time or much of a fine, but are required to shut down or modify their operations. If I were a judge, I would see the prosecution's claims as exaggerated, but would probably look askance at the fact that these guys have done nothing at all to remove trackers pointing to copyrighted material, and have actually made fun of those requests.
I think if they're convicted of something, they'll be ordered to stop, and if they flaunt that, then perhaps there will be more serious consequences. That's usually how it works, right? Also, Egypt is not exactly beyond the reach of US influence. Don't know where would be 'safe'... maybe Russia?
Well fairly certain that Tiamo does not live in Egypt.
Also they claim to have Fibre connections to XYZ countries? hmmm. (bearing in mind that that kind of thing leaves a paper trail and there doesnt appear to be one) Smacks a little too much of irony to me :)
Heh, remember those cable breaks in the middle of the Mediterranean? Other sites might suggest it was a CIA or Echelon style operation, but here, I think we can all agree that it was the Pirate Bay ensuring their connectivity by splicing their servers onto it.
They are saying that: "actually hosted in Asia as well as Africa."!
If they hosted it in Sinai, then "actually" it stills in Asia, not Africa! Sinai is the only part in Egypt that belongs to Asia... I am from Egypt and I know it.
