Police Planning New Raid On The Pirate Bay

Posted by Soulskill on from the heroic-mode-this-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TorrentFreak reports that Swedish authorities are gearing up for another raid on the servers of The Pirate Bay. The site was raided once before, in 2006, and the evidence gathered at that time was sufficient to convict its founders. 'The authorities have obtained warrants to snoop around in sensitive places and two known anti-piracy prosecutors, Frederick Ingblad and Henrik Rasmusson, are said to be involved. Employing a little psychological warfare aimed at putting the investigators off-balance, the Pirate Bay team has chosen to make the news public to make the authorities aware that they are not the only ones being watched.'"

    Unfortunately, the Onion (America's Finest News Source) has been prevented from registering a TLD. Sources suggest their rejection by ICANN was a real tear-jerker.

    Anyone who has played Sierra's Police Quest could tell you that is a PR-24 Nightstick ;)

    Does the "PR" stand for "Public Relations"?
