Wikileaks Airs U.S. Plans to Kill Pirate Bay With ACTA Proposal
The empire strikes back; the U.S. government's holds secret plans to kill nonprofit torrent sites and increase user monitoring

The long running saga of litigation against The Pirate Bay has been well publicized and discussed depth at DailyTech. The Pirate Bay was slapped with conspiracy charges by the government of Sweden early this year, at the urging of the IFPI, the parent organization of the RIAA. Under attack by IFPI lawyers and Swedish authorities, the sardonic pirate bay chaps told the IFPI lawyers to "screw themselves" and countersued for compensation for lost traffic.
