This Friday, the verdict for The Pirate Bay case will be delivered.

The case between The Pirate Bay versus the recording industry is a staple in the content industry. Although the Friday will not mark the true end of the "spectrial," the verdict will establish major ground for similar cases in the future. The Pirate Bay says it will host a chat and discussion on Friday, to talk about the verdict and what it will mean.

According to TPB:

On friday we will get the verdict in the ongoing trial. It will not be the final decision, only the first before the losing party will appeal. It will have no real effect on anything besides setting the tone for the debate, so we hope we win of course.

Since a lot of people and press are really interested in the outcome of this part of the spectrial, we've decided to hold a small press conference on friday at 13.00 swedish time (GMT+1 / CET). It will be held on Bambuser, no-one is invited physically to participate, only digitally.

The URL for the Bambuser-stream will be posted on the front page of the site on friday some minutes before 13. If you're from the press or just interested in hearing our thoughts about the outcome, you are welcome to join the stream and chat.
