Pirate Bay Raid Investigation Finished

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the casting-a-wide-net dept.

A Pirate writes "The Swedish Ombudsmen of Justice (JO) has finished the investigation of the Pirate Bay raid where close to 200 servers were confiscated. Just a fragment of these were actually Pirate Bay's and this led to both the police and prosecutor being charged with official misconduct, but the judges dropped the cases. In the report published by the JO he concludes that the judges were right, but there is also some very interesting information about how the MPA, IFPI and the American embassy tried to push the Swedish Minister of Justice and Secretary of State into influencing the police and the prosecutor to act upon The Pirate Bay."

    You call it "hassling"; some might call it "terrorism".

    Imagine the backlash that would have resulted had one of those wrongfully confiscated servers belonged to Halliburton or another large American firm. - This is why the international community despises America.
