Servers raided in sweden and netherlands. This is said to be the biggest tracker in sweden after the pirate bay. They are coming after more filesharing sites too and some will probably shut down out of fright

Cue all the pro-piracy cock smokers who will come in spewing a bunch of baloney, namely a Mr. Gideon Gallbladder.

For Swepiracy, a private BitTorrent tracker founded in 2006, it?s now too late. On Thursday, police in Sweden and the Netherlands swooped on the 30,000 member site after it was accused by the authorities of being one of the most important locations when it comes to illegally distributing Swedish films.

That's another thing that's often missing in these conversations about right, wrong, Hollywood studios etc. That site was a large distributor of Swedish films. If you go on pirate bay for example, of course there is a lot of US software, US movies and so on, but a huge % of their torrents are Swedish, Dutch, German books, movies, software, music, tv shows etc etc as well and its not a "USA, Hollywood studio" problem. It's an EU problem as well.

Maybe the real problem is that crap is worth free?
