Although it was disappointed to see TPB go down, it isn't as much as a blow to me as when suprnova.org was forced down. Anyway, one torrent site down means two in the making. And google is a great site for hard to find torrents as well (if they're seeded). They can't shut down search engines like that.

I think the most appalling thing of all this is the fact that the fucking U.S.A. and MPAA got involved. Mind your own fucking business, assholes!

Of course, it's pretty damn weak of the Swedish government to have fallen under the pressure. I only hope that the case is thrown out and TPB resumes its activities. They do have a lawyer, I doubt they would have lasted this long if they were really breaking Swedish law.

Well, what can they do? I mean, it's pretty obvious that they didn't do it voluntarily; but I guess Swedish government vs. USA/MPAA wouldn't be an interesting fight after all.

Seems they fixed the Site (www.sonymusic.co.uk) ..

What had "he" done to it b4 they did? i mean what did u see when u opened the page??

There was basicly just a Turkish flag and the words "Hacked by Lucky_Luke".


Anyway, The tracker is up again.

Oh, well - what a relief.

I'm sure it would have been a major loss in the bittorrent tracker department.

Back up by the end of the week, just as I expected.

well, even if they do manage to shut down tracker sites people can always use mirc. they say it's a much safer way to grab stuff

I talked to the owner of TPB today (he's a friend) and he said that they got nothing on them and they expect to be back to 100% anytime.

Well, TPB is back up, the search function should be up and running later today.

Haha, I like the cannons shooting down "Hollywood".

ZoMG .. Ownage.... :edgartpg:

I've heard that Sweden's filesharing group is as powerful as the US's gun lobby. So it's no surprise that TPB is back up. The takedown there is equivalent to taking down a major gun saler, met with extreme anger and resistance. I just hope this is the end of TPB's troubles.
