Anti-Piracy Bureau of Sweden Planted Evidence

Posted by Zonk on from the sure-fire-way-to-crack-the-case dept.

American Sweden writes "Concerning the bust at the Swedish ISP Bahnhof on March 10, IDG Sweden is reporting that Bahnhof has posted their findings of an internal inspection. It seems as if the Anti-Piracy Buereau of Sweden and their infiltrator "Rouge" had a good deal of involvement in supporting the busted FTP server not only with hardware but with so called "warez" as well. The blog of Lars Backlund has a translated version of the interview conducted in the report of Bahnhof." P2PNet.net has a breakdown of the relevant details as well. From the article: "As it turns out, APB (or, rather, their hired informer) supplied the servers and uploaded copyrighted materials. So that's why they were so sure to find stuff, they put it there!"

    I think an "OH SNAP!" is appropriate.

      I believe it will be the Waterloo of the Anti-Piracy Comission's battles. For the rest of their existance they will be asking the courts to "Take a chance on me."

    So called "warez" ? "warez" did all this software come from? From Anti-Piracy Buereau of Sweden of course! What you pun?

  6. Off Topic : How to pronoune "warez" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I used to work with a guy who had the worst command of English ever. What made this more perplexing was that it was his native tongue. Anyway, we developed a lexicon of terms that he couldn't pronounce.

    Alias? "Uh lie us".
    Executable? "Egg ZEK you table"
    Egregious? "Eee gruh gare eee us" (like e-gregarious")

    Anyway, his most..er.. egregious offense was when he came across the term "0day warez." We were at lunch talking about software or something else nerdy and he mentioned "Oday Juarez" (oh-day war ezz). I thought he was talking about an Iraqi-Mexican immigrant that had just started at work or something.

    No. He read 0day warez as "Oday Juarez."

    If I ever sign up for a Slashdot account, Oday Juarez is going to be my nick.
