The Pirate Bay Is Back Online

Many readers have submitted news that The Pirate Bay is back online, operating for now as "The Police Bay." Writes one anonymous submitter: "Pirate Bay got new hardware, moved the servers abroad and used recent backups. So the only bad side-effect of this police raid is that hundreds of clients of the ISP PRQ still have not got their servers back from the police. When the police did the raid on Wednesday, they took Pirate Bay from Bankgirot's secure server room. Then they also took all the servers in PRQ colocation facility STH3, effectively disabling a lot of small companies. The connection between PRQ and TPB? - Same owners, nothing more, this is beginning to become a huge scandal in Sweden with coverage on TV and all newspapers 4 days in a row."

Re:Investigators liability?

Does Sweden have secret prisons where they can hold you indefinatly, without a trial, and without a reason?

I started laughing when I read that. In Sweden, we have prisons where they cannot hold you, after a trial, with a reason, at all. People escape them all the time and you should be happy if a murderer gets more than 5 years. Rape might get you 3 or 4... but one things for sure, do not attempt to avoid taxes, then they will get the big slapstick out.

Nice try. By default, copying material that is subject to copyright without permission is explicitly illegal. Care to duck the question on a technicality again?
