Today, the verdict in the court case between the Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN and The Pirate Bay is due. Being one of the defendants, Pirate Bay spokesman Peter Sunde is interested in the outcome of the case, and asked the court for a copy. However, the court refused to do so and told Sunde that he should ask BREIN instead.

At the Amsterdam court last week, BREIN’s lawyer demanded that the operators of The Pirate Bay block access to all Dutch visitors. The lawyer claimed that The Pirate Bay is assisting in copyright infringement by allowing millions of visitors a day to download copyrighted content.

Today, the verdict in the case will be announced to the public, and Peter Sunde who is named in the case for his involvement with The Pirate Bay decided to call the Amsterdam court to get a copy. Shockingly, they refused.

“They told me to call BREIN to get the verdict,” Pirate Bay’s Peter Sunde told TorrentFreak. This is strange to say the least since it is BREIN who they have a dispute with.

“You should really look into how the Dutch legal system works,” one of the court employees told Sunde over the phone.

Sunde, who wasn’t aware that he was summoned to court until after the case was heard was baffled by this response. “They say that we were supposed to be there and that BREIN has signed papers from us saying that we knew about the case,” he told us.

After calling back several times, and threatening to press charges for violation of human rights, the court finally agreed to fax Sunde a copy of the verdict. More updates on the verdict will be published as soon as it arrives, if it ever does.

Update: Peter Sunde got the verdict eventually and it’s not good.
