Big news at the moment of course is the shutdown of a popular torrent-tracking site, ThePirateBay. The story continues to unfold, with ArsTechnica reporting a DDoS on the Swedish Police website in response. The site has now returned to service in, it seems, an improved and stronger form. One disturbing aspect is that many people caught up in the raid have had DNA samples taken from them, as required by Swedish law in cases of serious crime. Also, many computers taken from the original datacentre were in no way related to the site in question. Further, many are reporting that this raid was conducted largely at the request of US agencies, and that ThePirateBay has always acted within the confines of Swedish law. Keep on top of things unfolding via this thread in our Current Events forum.
