Swedish Police Raid the Pirate Bay, Site Offline
The organisation that reported Thepiratebay and therefore is the reason for this raid is called Rättighetsalliansen (The Alliance of Rights). The Alliance of Rights is the same organisation as The Anti Pirate Bureau but with a new name.
This is what they say on their website (roughly translated):<p>"The police raided The Pirate Bay today inside an Internet company in the Stockholm region. Rättighetsalliansen is behind the report against The Pirate Bay.<p>- Pirate Bay is an illegal commercial service that makes great sums of money by putting up other peoples movies and music on their site. The producers wont get payed for their work and the legal services growth gets prevented, says Henrik Pontén, lawyer at Rättighetsalliansen."<p>In other words they don't now what they are talking about. Thepiratebay is not putting up any files on thepiratebay.org, the users are (of course nothing is even uploaded, only seeded from user to user). I can recommend the documentary about The piratebay, TPB AFK where you will meet Henrik Pontén from the Anti Piracy Bureau among others.<p>Rättighetsalliansens website and article about this: <a href="http://rattighetsalliansen.se/nyhet/118" rel="nofollow">http://rattighetsalliansen.se/nyhet/118</a><p>EDIT: I think their website crashed.
