PirateBay might be just the beginning. But as long as there are alternatives like mininova or torrentspy, we don't have to worry

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wat does that mean? You mean when it say 50 seeders, chances are there are only 5?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.
