...trio behind ThePirateBay.org could face prison if convicted on charges that amount to aiding and abetting copyright infringement on a massive scale. The most serious charge - complicity in the production of copyrighted material - was dropped earlier this week for lack of evidence, but the trio still could walk the plank, should prosecutors prevail. If they lose the criminal case, they could owe nearly $10 million sought in the civil action being heard simultaneously in the Stockholm courtroom...

A healthy 61 percent of Americans blame Republicans for the lack of bipartisanship, while a still greater majority, 66 percent, continues to believe that Obama is bringing “a new approach.” With no serious concessions on principle, Obama is now being given credit for having walked the walk of his post-partisan talk, and his failure to achieve it thus far is being blamed on the other guys...
