Court of Bergamo restores access to the Sweden-based BitTorrent tracker site.
Almost two months ago I mentioned how an Italian judge from the Court of Bergamo had ordered Italian ISPs to begin blocking customer access to The Pirate Bay BitTorrent tracker site.
Now comes word that The Pirate Bay has successfully won an appeal of the judge's order and have had the block lifted.
"The Pirate Bay won the case in Italy," proclaims The Pirate Bay spokesperson Peter Sunde. " The lawyers have done a fantastic job! Will report on this later!"
However, he also said that it is still possible that the appeal could be overturned.
