The Pirate Bay site 'scuppered'
Avast! Ye parrotts
SCOUNDRELS AT thePirateBay.org hoisted the Jolly Roger in defiance this afternoon, claiming to have hoodwinked Webland.
But was the ThePirateBay.org raided by Swedish National Criminal Police on the morning of the thirty-first of May. Or not?
According to Slyck.com, two personnel were arrested and all servers confiscated.
A notice placed on the front page of ThePirateBay.org informs that a warrant was issued for all datacenters of Rix|Port 80, a Swedish IP transit operator, which hosted the site.
Breach of copyright law is the alleged crime brought up against the virtual haven for those flying the Jolly Roger.
A later story on Slyck claimed the shenaginans were a hoax. The original message is still on the site
here, however. Traffic figures from Sweden show a big dip following the time of the alleged raids.
