  • Yarrr, can't keep a good pirate down!

    The Pirate Bay on näköjään taas linjoilla, samoin kuin Ruotsin poliisin www-sivusto. Myös Ruotsin kansalaiset ovat aktivoituneet kiitettävästi:

    “Oikeusministeri Thomas Bodströmin toimista on tehty selvityspyyntöjä perustuslakivaliokunnalle, minkä lisäksi ministeri on mediassa joutunut useampaan otteeseen tekemään selkoa Yhdysvaltain mahdollisesta painostuksesta asiaan liittyvässä päätöksenteossa. Ruotsin Television (SVT) perjantaisen Rapport-uutislähetyksen mukaan oikeusasiamies saakin nyt selvitettäväkseen sekä viranomaistoimet että niiden taustan.”

  • Swedish police Web site shut down by hacker attack

    “The Web site of Sweden’s national police was shut down after a hacker attack that investigators on Friday said could be a retaliation for a crackdown on […] The Pirate Bay.

    Meanwhile, the government faced allegations that police had acted under pressure from U.S. authorities when they targeted the file-sharing site in raids earlier this week.”

  • The Piratebay is Down: Raided by the Swedish Police

    “The largest Bittorrent tracker on the net just got raided. The Swedish police took their servers to check whether they actually commit a crime or not. […]

    Note that no crime has been proven yet, it’s still under investigation. This will probably the ultimate test to determine whether hosting a torrent tracker is illegal (in Sweden), or not.”
