ThePirateBay.org Raided - Servers Seized - TechAmok
ThePirateBay.org Raided - Servers Seized - [crime-law] 11:22 AM EDT - May,31 2006 - post a comment ThePirageBay.org, a longtime fixture of the BitTorrent community, is
currently under investigation.
Swedish police has today taken all the servers of The Pirate Bay into
custody. The police chose to do this despite the fact that the services provided
by the worlds largest bittorrent tracker are fully legal in Sweden. Two
operators of The Pirate Bay are in police custody, and can't be reached.
In their native Sweden, ThePirateBay.org enjoyed a level of immunity from
copyright prosecution rarely seen in the file-sharing world. Often defiant in
the face of those wishing to enforce their intellectual property rights,
ThePirateBay.org would go on to become one of the premier BitTorrent indexing
and tracking sites. As one of the largest trackers, ThePirateBay.org
largely replaced the demise of the SuprNova.org search engine. SuprNova.org met
its demise in late 2004, when it was under pressure from the entertainment
industry to shut it operation down. Conversely, such pressure has been
ineffective against ThePiratebay.org.
When such political pressure fails, the use of force is typically the next
course of action. In a move that many thought would never come, Slyck.com have
learned ThePirateBay.org is currently being raided by Swedish police.
"...The police right now is taking all of our servers, to check if there is a
crime there or not (they are actually not sure)," ThePirateBay.org spokesperson
"brokep"
told Slyck.com. The seizure of ThePirateBay.org's entire server farm will
guarantee this BitTorrent tracker will remain offline until the police complete
their investigation. Whether this will keep ThePirateBay.org offline
indefinitely is another matter. "We are not sure when it will return, but we are
moving it to another country if necessary," brokep said.
