Helo there!
yes it is incredible. even more as the whole process began with the trial
being started with a unilateral accusation, sponsored by consulents of the
editors' and publishers' organizations present in italy (such as SIAE and
FMI).
which is just as if person X, today, would go to the police and say "oh,
well, i THINK that xDxD (or marc garrett, or anyone else) is a criminal".
And the police come after me. With no proof or documentation apart from some
screenshots in which a series of *rows show numbers separated by dots next
to a date and a string containing the name of a movie, dot AVI* .
but then again, italy's not the easiest of places to be during these last
few years. reminds a lot of the 1940's, in a new mediatical form.
we co-organized with RomaEuropaFAKEFactory and Art is Open Source a meeting
on/with the Pirate Bay on the same day as the presentation in the senate,
together with Luca Neri, who recently published a book on the whole issue:

and then there has been a big event which received lots of media coverage:

(sorry, the reports are in italian, but they might prove useful anyway)
nothing has changed. :(
take care!
