Now, the pirate bay is a sweedish torrent tracker right? Well, it seems that fox and other media biggies have been going dirty against them.
Now, in the past, they have got out of legal issues, based on the fact that they host no illicit files on their servers, purely links to it. This email that they refer to above, seems to have been leaked by an unkown person for the moment, but who knows if it will stand up in court. The pirate bay seem to love sending nice 'love letters' bragging about this.The Pirate Bay wrote:TPB files charges against media companies
Thanks to the email-leakage from MediaDefender-Defenders we now have proof of the things we've been suspecting for a long time; the big record and movie labels are paying professional hackers, saboteurs and ddosers to destroy our trackers.
While browsing through the email we identified the companies that are also active in Sweden and we have tonight reported these incidents to the police. The charges are infrastructural sabotage, denial of service attacks, hacking and spamming, all of these on a commercial level.
The companies that are being reported are the following:
Twentieth Century Fox, Sweden AB
Emi Music Sweden AB
Universal Music Group Sweden AB
Universal Pictures Nordic AB
Paramount Home Entertainment (Sweden) AB
Atari Nordic AB
Activision Nordic Filial Till Activision (Uk) Ltd
Ubisoft Sweden AB
Sony Bmg Music Entertainment (Sweden) AB
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Nordic AB
Stay tuned for updates.
But here is wre is gets sticky.
After a raid on the piratebay by swedish police, its home page got brought down by a ddos attack, seemly brought down by angry piratebay users.
Police wrote: "Our homepage had to handle 500,000 visits per second and it's obviously not going to handle that. It's sort of like 10,000 people calling the same phone switch at once."
It also seems that the irate bay is down again, not just bad luck?
Discuss, no linking to illicit files please.
