Swedish Police Raid the Pirate Bay Again

Posted by Soulskill on from the guess-that-raid-proof-hosting-will-get-its-test dept.

o_ferguson writes: TorrentFreak is reporting that police in Sweden carried out a raid in Stockholm today, seizing servers, computers, and other equipment. At the same time The Pirate Bay and several other torrent-related sites disappeared offline. Although no official statement has been made, TF sources confirm action against TPB. This is not the first time that this has happened.

    TPB doesn't stay down long. It's like the Hydra of piracy. Cut off all the heads you want but it won't stay dead.

    No no, that was RAID proof the whole time. There is no redundancy of any kind in the pirate bay's system.

    According to MPAA accounting, the few minutes TPB was offline generated 5.6 billion dollars in sales.

    And if we use Verizon accounting for the same numbers, the few minutes TPB was offline generated 560 billion dollars in sales.

    Yeah...

    First they came for TPB, but you didn't say anything because you weren't running a piracy torrent tracker, then they came for, uh, TPB again. And yeah, next they'll probably raid Spotify.
