Pirate Bay And Wikileaks Web Host Raided By Swedish Police

The Pirate Bay and Wikileaks web host PeRiQuito AB, alternatively known as PRQ, has been raided by Swedish police. Cops in the Scandinavian country confiscated four servers from the firm on Monday, the company’s owner Mikael Viborg told Swedish news outlet Nyheter24.


The Stockholm-based web host is renowned for supporting some of the more anti-establishment sites on the internet, with The Pirate Bay and Wikileaks its most famous clients. By late Monday, The Pirate Bay and PRQ sites were both down, though Viborg informed Nyheter24 that this was due to a technical issue rather than the confiscated servers.
It will take time to understand which (if any) of PRQ’s 2,000-plus customers are affected by the police intervention. As well as The Pirate Bay and Wikileaks, the company also hosts the North America Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), Pedophile.se, and the Chechen rebel site Kavkaz Central. While Viborg has previously stated he “loathes” the philosophy of clients such as NAMBLA and Pedophile.se, he defends their right to display content online.
The link between The Pirate Bay and PRQ is considerable: The web host was set up by two of the three Pirate Bay founders in 2004, including 27-year-old Gottfrid Svartholm, a Swede who was arrested in Cambodia in September after being convicted of copyright crimes in absentia.
And the raids are far from the first for the firm: Police raided the PRQ premises in 2006 to seize evidence in the investigation into The Pirate Bay and again in 2010 as part of an operation concerning a different filesharing network.
WikiLeaks (which, at the time of writing, remains online) mentioned Monday’s raid on its Twitter feed, telling followers:
PRQ.se, one of a number of ISPs used by WikiLeaks has been raided by Swedish police; 4 servers seized. Police still in office

While Viborg has previously stated he “loathes” the philosophy of clients such as NAMBLA and Pedophile.se, he defends his right to take their money.

Fixed that.

Thanks FailSafe.

[barbaro]

I tried to get onto pirate bay. No luck.

(Good to see you, Macha.)

As you state, I guess it's CD time.

I think this may be a trend and KAT and Isohunt may be next. I have always thought about downoading the hell out of what I wanted to see in a massivle collection, knowing this day may come.

Sadly, this day have have come.

Pirate Bay website goes down; Anonymous retaliates - Tech News - IBNLive
New Delhi: The popular torrent website The Pirate Bay is unaccessible following a raid on the Swedish hosting company PRQ by the Swedish government on Monday. The raid on PRQ disabled many file-sharing and streaming sites including the widely used - The Pirate Bay.
PRQ, which was founded by Pirate Bay co-founders Gottfrid Svartholm and Fredrik Neij, is known to host or route many file-sharing sites, according to a TorrentFreak report.
The TorrentFreak said, "The PRQ raid coincided with downtime at The Pirate Bay but TorrentFreak is informed that this is unrelated." The site (Pirate Bay) says it's down mainly because of a power outage, however, and that it will be back later this week, Fortune reported.

However in a post on its Facebook page, The Pirate Bay said, "Sorry for not being online. Looks like we won't be up until tomorrow."
The PRQ website and several streaming sites are back now, while some file-sharing sites remain offline for now. It is is still not known that what the target of the raid is.
The Hacktivist group Anonymous, in retaliation, issued Operation Pirate Bay and announced its intention to target Swedish government websites.
Anonymous said in a video, "We have seen that you have been done a raid on the pirate bay and other torrents sites! The raid on PRQ disabled many of our torrent sites. We see this as a crime against freedom to information and there for we have disabled some of swedish governments or affiliate sites in protest against this raid. Swedish Government; you know our capabilities and what we want! The choice is yours. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. You should have expect us Sweden!"

PB was always my fave, but in recent times Virgin who I get my Internet from have blocked them. Nobody else just PB, can't even reach them through a proxy.

Like yourself I find KAT the very next best, far better than any of the rest.
