With their ongoing failure to find evidence in The Pirate Bay server seizure fiasco, the Swedish Police now seem to be resorting to any methods they can to disrupt the activities of the popular torrent site. Their latest effort appears to be an attempt to block access to the site, at least by Swedish nationals, through putting the site on a child pornography blocklist

It has been more than a year now since the servers of The Pirate Bay were raided, but Prosecutor HÃ¥kan Roswall again managed to extend the custody by presenting some doubtful arguments to the district court. He, and his team of experts now have until October to find evidence against The Pirate Bay. Will they ever give up?

The ever controversial Pirate Bay is messing with Hollywood again. They’ve put up a new logo which links to pirated copies of the blockbuster movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”. To make it even more juicy, they are also selling a T-shirt with the logo on it in the new and improved Pirate shop.

It has been almost a year now since the controversial raid on The Pirate Bay. Recently, Prosecutor HÃ¥kan Roswall said that he was determined to press charges against the admins of The Pirate Bay. However, new information has leaked which shows that the Swedish police has nothing to give to the district attorney, and doesn’t have a strong case.

There had been rumours abound about The Pirate Bay launching a streaming video site. It has now been confirmed by the TPB guys that they are in fact in the process of building a YouTube competitor.

It seems that hardly a month goes by without another malicious BitTorrent client appearing for download, hoping to dupe inexperienced and unsuspecting file-sharers into installing malware. As new kid on the block ‘Get-Torrent’ hits the web, we scratch below the surface to find the same old malware and the same old story.

When you’re as infamous as The Pirate Bay, this inevitably leads to attention, not all of it positive. Unfortunately, the guys at the bay have had a run in with some undesirables who took copy of the site’s user database. However, prepared as ever for disaster recovery, The Pirate Bay crew had already taken measures to limit the value of this booty.
