Pirates Raided and Shut Down


Wow, this is kind of shocking. The Swedish police have evidently seized The Pirate Bay's servers to investigate a possible breach of copyright law. The Pirate Bay, for those who don't engage in such nefarious activities as piracy, offered torrents for music, software, videos and other miscellaneous downloads. It can now add it's name to the same list as Napster and SuprNova.org, the latter another bittorrent site shut down a few years ealier under presseure from the RIAA. The internet weeps today as a price is slowly being put on digital information. Let's hope this is only temporary.
