article published on 6 July, 2007
According to a press release from the Swedish Pirate Party, apparently the Swedish police have taken thier disdain of the infamous torrent tracker The Pirate Bay to a new level.
The police are reportedly "attempting to block access" to the site by reclassifying it as a child pornography site. The police then hopes Swedish ISPs will voluntarily block the "child porn" site.

lol, its really not anything for them to be worried about, if they can be that cheeky they must have a serious legal team. although i do wonder how they prevent people from posting such files...

Sounds to me like the police either have too little to do in Sweden, or they're receiving extra incentive to put a higher priority on things like this.

there is NO child pornography on the Pirate Bay, swedish authorities are simply reclassifying the site so that it is filtered and no accesible for many. How they can possibly get this reclassification passed is beyond me :)

I'd hate to blow anything out of proportion but isn't this the same tactic used for any mass genocide where the gov blames a group of people for some kind of scourge or plague that is the hot topic of the society solely for the purpose of furthering their own agenda

Well, I find this one statement kind of odd.
Quote:
"It?s not decided that we?ll put The Pirate Bay in the list - if the content is still there next week we?ll put them there," a police spokesperson is quoted in the blog.
Now, if the police are really trying to pin them to the wall, they could post the content of this nature (perhaps named something else?), and every time it gets taken down they can put it back.
Trafficking in child porn, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility for the police, especially if they are taking pages out of the RIAA and MPAA handbook.

Pirate bay *does* have porn, in fact it has a section of its own. Cant see it? Become a registered user, and all will be clear.

There is no child porn on the Pirate Bay, of course there isn't.
They've tried this cr@p before.....and usually they twin the allegation up with terrorism too.
It's just a cover-story for the uninterested & the 'hard-of'thinking.
This is just a classic abuse of power by those who think the law is their own play-thing.
How much more stupid can these people make themselves look?

EVERYONE should be appalled when the people that are supposed to be enforcing the law are the ones that break it. Liars and cheats do not belong in law enforcement, and the ends do not justify the means. People keep bending over and taking it........

Great were all pedophiles,if the Swedish police want to be ignorant,then i guess that's where we are going,the truth is, i use to upload programs on pirate bay one time to help people with old simulators, that needed patches to play online,and it worked,but now any one who has old out dated software will be left alone unable to play games like MIG-29 fulcrum,and f22 raptor,because the software companies abandoned the games,and pulled the servers,take for example UBI on the il-2 sturmovik game,you can only play online with the 1946 version,not the previous versions you cant any more,the software company's are constantly pulling the plug on great games.i have never downloaded software illegally,i wrote programs for them to use new servers.computers are getting faster,and games are getting better,but Jesus stop deactivating the servers.pirate bay just gave people a chance to try new things when the software company's abandoned older version's.
