Swedish authorities raided the servers of Bahnhof Internet—the largest Swedish ISP—and found a
total of 1,800 movie files, 5,000 warez and 450,000 audio files. The 23 terabytes of data of illegal content were
stored in fours servers—one of them, according to Reuters, "reputed to be the biggest pirate server in Europe."
Piratbay.org—a Swedish torrent website that contains tons of copyrighted content—has been very defiant to any legal threats they receive. They proudly mantain a page with all their sarcastic responses to legal departments of big corporations from across the world and feel comfortable behind the fact that they're not affected by country-specific legislation (e.g. DMCA). Now that the Swedish police started raiding I wonder if that will change their attitude.
1. well, piratebay doesn't host the files while those raided servers did.
This is the whole point of their email replies, isn't it?
