Interesting peice of info I saw on the web earlier

Seems the big raids captured nothing of evidencial value

Shame huh ?

It struck me as odd that Reuters had made no comment as they are generally, as they say in that forum, pretty eve-handed reporters. Maybe they were having search difficulties too (the only source is in Swedish). I wonder if any of them bothered to tell Reuters about their oversight.

Hmm another interesting item from that case Rat, seems the anti piracy groups "inside man" gave cash and supplied Warez, not exactly snow white then..

Hmm it,s starting to warm up now , seems that the ISP are going to sue the "Traitor/agent", as he planted hundreds of warez on the servers
just before they where siezed

Swedish ISP Bahnhof is considering legal action after it emerged that illegal material uncovered in a raid on its premises was placed there by a paid informant of the antipiracy group that mounted the operation.

Also the last post on this was partialy correct too

What is true is four servers were taken by police [from Bahnhof],â€

Seems they have both decided to call it quits, what a waste of time , yet another one of the many publicity stunts has run aground

Why dont the anti piracy folks get off there butts instead of watching seized pirate releases and catch some paedophiles ?

simple, they cant go up to a paedophile and demand his life savings for no reason
