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.

    I see these articles, which seem dated about Sept 2014:

    Pirate Bay fools the system with cloud technology

    The Pirate Bay runs on 21 “raid-proof” virtual machines

    I'm lowercasing some of those titles, so it doesn't look like RAID-proof. This is referring to police raids, not RAID (disk redundancy).

    So I guess now we may get to see just how “raid-proof” this really is(n't).

    Then again, Pirate Bay moves to the cloud, becomes raid-proof shows a date of October 2012. So their cloudiness might not be a brand new thing.

    The malware bay endures!

    I have never once gotten malware from TPB.
    "Reputable" sites such as download.com have been injecting it into / wrapping it around every download for the past few years now.
