Record companies step up crusade against Pirate Bay

"Four record companies want to close the Pirate Bay file sharing service and have filed a motion with the Stockholm district court to fine the people behind the operation as long as its users can access copyright-protected material. Last month the site's operators were found guilty of copyright violations, sentenced to a year in prison and ordered to pay damages of 30 million Swedish kronor (US$3.9 million). But that didn't stop the site from making music available for download, which record companies such as Universal, EMI, Sony and Warner are not happy about"
