article published on 27 January, 2008
This week Swedish officials plan to charge the individuals responsible for running Pirate Bay, a large torrent Tracker originally operated in that country, as accessories and conspirators in breaking copyright law. Since a 2006 raid by Swedish police the servers have been moved to locations reportedly not even known to those in Sweden who are apparently going to be charged in the case.

This is exactly why TBP went and starting spreading servers all over the world. They knew that one day though might get in legal trouble, even if only temporarily, and spread the servers all over the globe to prevent the shutting down of TBP.
I will like to see the outcome of any trials, lawsuits, etc. that come against the website or its owners just to see how well it does after a legal battle.
Peace

They should have just put all the servers in Antigua (think thats how it is spelled) the same as Slysoft did. Problem solved.
Just looked up the tiny nation in Google Earth..my god, it looks like the sort of island where one is shipwrecked with a handful of palm trees with sharks swimming around...cant be that different than in Sweden! ;)

well, they better press charges against Google, Yahoo, and every other search engine. These "conspirators" help find torrents and even child porno.

They simply cannot do that. Every search engine in the world is an accessory to something. These companies just never quit. It's pathetic.
If they breathe like we do it must be a coarse wheezing. We've left them in so much dust, at this point, they're practically choking. They'll do anything to stay alive. The traces of looking human are scraping off with every second they crawl to keep up. Eventually they'll be so disfigured and grotesque that not even the vultures will humor their corpses.
It's a nice way to think about it, hm?

So if I look up instructions on how to make a Molotov Cocktail on Google and then torch my neighbor's house, Google is an accessory to that act?
What a load of BS, by that same logic that makes the Government accessories to all car accidents as they supply the roads upon which cars drive.
All Pirate Bay do is supply a means to search and find data on the Internet. They don't host torrents and their not connected to those uploaders of copyrighted materials. You can't sue someone just because they give people a means to potentially brake the law.
Guns give people a means to potentially kill others, so should Gun Makers be held responsible for every gun death, as they provided that means?
Insanity...

A possibly more accurate anology would be:
Guns give people a means to potentially kill others, so should people who tell other people where to get these guns illegaly be held responsible for every gun death caused by the people it assisted in illegaly obtaining a gun, as they provided that means?
In this case I think you could find the people saying 'get a gun illegaly here' considered accessories... of course only a trial would determine this scenario's outcome as well as the one facing TPB

They CAN get them in Antigua I would think. I thought they were British owned but just checked........simply a "British outpost" but close enough. Palestine, Pakistan, Iran are choice. They don't give a rat's behind about 'other' countries laws.
They say........"you gotta problem..........talk to my AK-47. Otherwise piss off!"

Miserably pointless.
they've been tried and tried again,they ARE NOT breaking any laws,and the USA needs to get over it.
if the people of the USA want to file share,the government cant do anything about it?thats what a democracy is!
besides,in Sweden there was practically a riot when TPB was shut down for 3 days!

Well if all the other countries are under the EU then the prosecution may have a chance in this case.
