...it is to see that in the middle of Europe, the government can act invasive against the individuals without the support of any basic law. What could happen to me then? Usually people in Croatia see a sort of raw model in Europe. But less with each day. :(

Uhm..now the recording industry is getting really desperate.

"Detta är ett allvarligt moraliskt dilemma i sig för alla som tycker att stöld är stöld, men i förlängningen så har det också en än värre konsekvens. Bakom Pirate Bay hittar vi människor som är aktiva anhängare till högerextrema grupper och som finansierar sin verksamhet med hjälp av annonsörer inom porrindustrin med inriktning på exploatering av tonårstjejer."

I wish there was an english version somewhere but basically this CEO of a recording company, is saying the Pirate Bay is run by members of the extreme right who [obviously] are financing their agenda by way of advertisements for pornsites intent on exploiting teenage girls...

Who would've thought that we're all just supporting the New 3rd Reich and teen-porn eh? Shocking. XD

Umm...any comments from PP? Or is it even worthy of comment?

Tack för mig.................

Damn, I really thought the Swedish government had some sort of brains. This case proves that they are powerless when a private lobby organization can claim a legal activity as illegal and order the Swedish police to assign a 50 man raid upon the target organization (TPB).

I must say that this could point out a statement that Sweden is actually ruled by mafia (aka private lobby organizations). Funny thought but I hope that the police realizez that they just shot themselves in the foot, no rather they just shot themselves in the head/groin when they seized not only TPB's servers but also other unrelevant organizations and private servers.

A sky-high lawsuit is absolutely appropriate.

John Wolsey (BSA). Say in SVT that MPAA and them demanded that something had to be done whith Pirate Bay homepage and filed a complain.

You can see it all here.

So this is the proof that Thomas Bodström actually have lied to everyone in the news the rescent days.

Sorry for the spelling errors...

hehe, va fan ser jag, piratebay är ju uppe igen! fETT! så jävla bra! hahahahahahah

En bra idé är enligt min mening att polisanmäla Henrik Pontén för brott mot tryckfrihetsförordningen. Han har ju faktiskt medverkat till (även om han har ändrat sin kommentar) till stängning av ett flertal grundlagskyddade sajter.

To Kick-Ass;

Lighten up now. To bring racisms into this matter is just pathetic. What you are doing in this post, is to represent Sweden for the world - and I cant say I am proud to be a Swedish citizen when other citizens makes speeches like you.

First off if you want to draw the line at that level: If you hate Sweden so much and pity its laws and orders, get the fuck out then? Thankfully this country is a democracy, a questionable one, but still a democracy. No one is forcing you to stay in this country, besides, you mentioned your native inheriting. If this country is so shitty, why did you come here? I suppose because of the situation in your native country, right or wrong? I will not even try to defend myself being a non-racist due the fact that I’m just not a racist. So don’t bring me any of that BS. I have more foreign friends than I have “Swedish” friends – what the difference between them now may be, I sure as hell can’t see it.

To the matter, the problem that the Swedish police, together with the government, have done is to raise them above the law. Also, the law they are trying to embrace, is not yet an actual law. In a year or two it _may_ be a part of the Swedish law, but not just yet - witch makes this hole matter a pithy mess.

The JO of Sweden is on a mission to investigate the actions performed by the Swedish police and one of the ministers, Thomas Bodströms actions. The razzia was, as you all probably know, based on thoughts and "perhaps". This is NOT a legit cause to perform a raid against a company that not only hosts the servers for ThePirateBay, but also hosts domains for some non-relevant companies and/or private businesses. Fact still remains that the police also took these servers as well - for no apparent reason.

Laws have been broken and stepped on. Let's just wait and see the reaction when this epiphany is brought out in the light. The government we know today will probably not be the same ever again.

The actions of the Record & Media Mafia Kartel that seek to Kontrol distribution are to be expected. They learned a long time ago there's more money to be made in distribution than caring about the end user.

I believe the reason for the raid on TPB was, if not entirely, at least partially for financial reasons. In this case the fault lies on the government of Sweden, as the police dept. has a kind of strangled budget. So, APB jumps up and says, 'hey guys, look at this, if you 50 completely imbecile guys who don't even know what piracy or the internet is, go take down this website who hosts files that, when used by the proper program, can give you the ability to download copyrighted stuff from the internet (and yes, we know that it's not even illegal but we assholes think it SHOULD be, cuz then we get lots of cash), and along with that a couple of other annoying sites, like our antithesis Piratbyrån(Pirate Bureau), which is a completely legal website but which we also think SHOULD be illegal, as it is a forum and idea workshop for people who oppose our ideals and is politically active as well...if you do that, WE WILL GIVE YOU LOTS OF CASH!!!

Okay, long sentence, but anyways, the fact that Thomas Bodström drives this kind of politics forwards and supports APB...it's just disgusting. I suggest that we all cast our votes for our dear Pirate Party so that we may be rid of the damn lunatic striving for a 'Big-Brother'-community by this autumn. Argh and long live the piracy!

Who claims that there was copyrightprotected material on tpb? Speaking of copyright, what kind of models for copyright protection are realistic from now and in the future? Is upholding copyright protection realistic at all?

The Media Wars

What started as an international political dispute over the niceties of

intellectual property law has now brought us to the brink of war.

Yesterday, US special forces were ordered to prepare for operations

against pirate server installations located in territories not strictly

adhering to the RIAA-sponsored KopyRight Kode. The Whitehouse

issued a statement in which it set out the case for action "against any

state which impinges on the interests of US based copyright-holders".

Army sources have stated that new "information seeking" warheads

have been fitted to 50 SCUD missiles confiscated after the first Gulf

War. Equipped with 12 terabaud wireless modems, these weapons will

seek and destroy any copyrighted data within non-KRK adherent

nations. The missiles have been adapted with the latest lubrication

technology to maximise their range.

It is believed that pirates are using secure information bunkers located

in Stockholm, Pyongyang and Winnebago to store over 1500 illegaly

downloaded copies of the gay-cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain".

While the exact intentions of the terrorists are unclear, some analysts

believe it is possible that they are planning a massive campaign of

moody looks and sexual confusion.

"We are determined that all profits from the sale of homosexual

pornography shall be earned only by US taxpayers", said a

Whitehouse spokeswoman. Meanwhile, the Meridian Gastronomy

Fiscal commitee determined in their latest report that "there is no such

thing as a free lunch in America".

Thanks to all of you in Piratpartiet. Your fight is just and proper, as time will show.

Totally pointless! It would be a cultural disaster if the piratebay goes down for good. One of the searchengines to what is the whole worlds medialibrary,(and as most libraries are free...) w. loads of music and film that the everyday customer can't get throug their regular channels. Music and movies that never eaven are considered besides others shouting at the consumer w. their grand display and posters in the store. No more easy torrent distribution for the small and independent is it? I doubt it! Isnt it us w the files going up and down that should be trialled?! Well since this is just another step in this conflict and the media industry still are to dumb to find their own working solutions i guess well just have to wait and see.

There has been a meeting between Swedish justicedepartment
employees and reps. from american anti pirate orgs. on
all levels. And there has been a secret meeting with
a delegation of Swedish political reps and reps from the
US goverment and MPA witch have resulted in this raid on TPB.
It´s forbidden for the Justice Dep to tell what the police should
do and as always the minister of justice Thomas Bodström denies
any knowledge of thees actions and in the end some employee will
loose their jobs for not informing the minister.

There are two stories on the news today. The raid on TPB and
former minister Stig Malm addmiting to have lied about a meeting (in the 80´s) between the unions umbrella organisation (LO) and reps (P.G Gyllenhammar) from the Swedish employer org. (SAF)
The deal froze salary negotiations for some years.

Now.... Will we in the future here Thomas Bodstöm say that he
lied when he said that he had nothing to do with the raid ?

I just hope that his head will roll for lying about US and Swedish political influence on the Swedish police.

And i hope he is reborn as a maggot outside of a sportfishing clubhouse

WHAT IF??? HAve you thought about that guys?! What if the police took the servers, keep them some days and put some kind of tracker inside so it would register and send back all activities/all the IPs downloading the torrent... they could then concentrate on the IP and catch us all!? Is it possible btw? I have no clue... maybe some kind of X File (check my nickname hihihi).

Why do you think the cops took down all those servers? By making it risky for business to use PRQ Inet as their web host, they want to damage the web hotel financially by scaring away their customers. It's good ol' swedish police/government tactics. It was not incompetence, it was evil.

I guess "Pigs" are "Pigs", whatever language or country they appear in.....

God Bless and GodSpeed the Pirate Empire!!!

The post "Then why?" by 'Questionarius' was meant as a reply to "Swedish law" by "Kick-Ass" waaay up on the page. Why it ended up where it did is beyond me. Perhaps someone should have a look at the script on this page?

Wonder where this post will end up...

Det var då själva faan att man inte får ha nåt ifred längre!! Ska de få ta allt roligt ifrån oss? hoppas verkligen det blir någon ordning på detta samhälle snart!!
/ pepson77-lovepiratebay...

det var usa som hade pressat på svenska staten att dem skulle stänga ner dem flesta TPB sidor. dem tog ner ett webhotell oxå. dåligt att dem raidar när dem inte har nåt att sätta dit dem på...

sverige är för LÄTT ÖVERTALAT!

shiiiet our swedish brothers.. i wonder how anyone has faced real crime and police inefficiency feels right about now.. i mean, 50 cops? i heard u can walk out of swedish prisons and not get cought for weeks :-) seems like there's no shortage of man power when the price is right..? anyhow, greets from your neighbour, have strength brothas.

Stealing is allowed in Hollywood if it benefits the movie and record studios. Ask any playwright or artist whose work they ripped off then hid behind "copyrights".

10 will get you 20 that a LARGE $$$ backdoor contribution from the RIAA/MPAA mafia to the pockets of some swedish politicians and/or police authorities got that job done when all else failed.

Sweden last year passed a law banning the sharing of copyrighted material on the Internet without payment of royalties, in a bid to crack down on free downloading of music, films and computer games.

Newspeak:

Sweden last year passed a law banning the sharing of oxygen without payment of royalties, in a bid to crack down on free downloading of oxygen from home made tanks. The Mafia Cartel that Kontrols oxygen must be paid their tribute or no oxygen for you. Suffocate? tough shit! Pay us for our oxygen or be thrown in jail if you dare try making or sharing it yourself.

I heard this on the Swedish Radio news broadcast (Ekot) and i wonder what's really going on?
Taking DNA samples is NOT standard police procedure in Sweden and i doubt that the procedure is legal for crimes other than "murder one".

Jag har nyss skickat mail till polisen och berättat hur inkompetenta dom är, jag råder er alla att göra detsamma.

A jó kurva anyját a svéd rend?rségnek, mégis mi a picsát képzelnek magukról? Hogy merik a thepiratebay.org -ot letartóztatni? Semmi joguk hozzá! A ribanc geci fasszopó kurva anyjukat basszák fel az égig!

Can't wait for PB to hoist the flag again with a great big FU to the RIAA and MPAA. Legal Mafia Cartel Ponzi schemes that have been raping artists and the public for decades. Their scam is starting to sink and the rats are looking for any excuse except the real one. Their talent pool is bollocks.

oh, and it was The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) who with the help of Swedish Police and other branches did this crap. FUCK HOLLYWOOD!!

jeez this sucks! as I've understood it, it's not illegal to DOWNload stuff in SE only to UPload stuff...and since PB only redirects to others who have the stuff..well...hmm..you make the math yourself.

I really dislike this stupidity! from what I heared the PB guys had marked which servers were PBs and which weren't - so WHY take them ALL???

goddammit!!! settle this thing once and for all!! make it legal to download stuff or lower the prices of CDs, DVDs, cinema-tickets etc!! I'm gonna keep downloading stuff until the prices drop!!

Swedish authorities Wednesday shut down one of the world's most notorious websites for directing Internet users to pirated music, movies and software files as part of a large-scale raid.

Wow! I thought that was Google not PB.

The antics of the RIAA (lapdog of deep pockets record label cartels) are to be expected. A monkey will always act as a monkey. I don't know who the Real Pirates are. PB or Movie and Record cartels. An industry that told Thomas Edison to bugger off, we aint paying no stinking royalties to you for your phonograph and movie patents. They stole his idea, moved to Hollywood a hundred years ago and have infested it ever since.

Who is the bigger Pirate? PB or a Record Cartel that grosses $11 million USD for a million selling album then hands the artists a paltry $300,000 or so before taxes. $11,000,000 gross minus $500,000 to press the cds. $7 million or so profit after expenses into the Record Cartel pockets and shite to the artists. Who is the Pirate?? They make me laugh. Ohhhh.... we are losing money. Well promote real talent instead of bollocks then maybe people will pay for it.

I mean what the hell!
They took every server in the damn hall.
Including private servers and for example Birdie.org's gaming server hosting a fucking CS server.
They even got TPB's servers pointed out and their papers didn't allow them to take anything else, still they did this!

The police had no right whatsoever to do a raid at their servers...i'm just waiting for this to blow over, and i guess that the ones who have been unfairly treated (the ones who lost their servers) are going to make a very large lawsuit, and they will most likely win.

The politicians in our dear country are by far the most incompetent in the world, since they don't even know what the laws they write themself actually mean.

How can I donate money to Piratbyrån or to thepiratebay ???

Long live "The Pirates Bay

The swedish police is retards, all of them , probably the dumbest thing they ever did was to take those servers
