Today is a sad day for our friends at The Pirate Bay. This morning, the Swedish police took down all TPB servers (Stockholm traffic graphs). Additionally, it is reported that two or three TPB admins are held in police custody.

Although we and TPB guys have a totally different view on copyrights, this is certainly not what they deserved. That the MPAA thinks differently, is not a big surprise.

A final note: due to all these struggles, we might experience some downtime. One of the reasons is that more users visit Mininova now that TPB is down. We try to place an extra server as soon as possible.

Update (June 3): And TPB is back up & running! Hopefully they’re safer here
