Tech Buzz The founders of the Pirate Bay are twittering their copyright trial, and so far things are all going their way.

The Pirate Bay is being charged with violating Swedish copyright laws by providing torrents of copyrighted material and making money of ads that run on their pages.

Tech Buzz Keeping track of videos pulled from YouTube for copyright claims.

So far, TV TOKYO, Viacom, Warner Bros, and World Wrestling Entertainment are the groups most often using the takedown notice.
