The Pirate Bay is down after a raid on 9 December 2014 where servers and computers were seized by the Swedish police.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Pirate Bay portal went down Tuesday morning after Swedish police raided a server room in Stockholm over alleged copyright violations,\u201d Wired reported<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n The publication reported that other file-sharing sites including EZTV, Zoink, and Torrage also went down. It is, however, not certain whether raids were also behind this downtime.<\/p>\n Numerous other sites, including The Pirate Bay forum Suprbay.org, the Istole tracker, Bayimg.com, and Pastebay.net are also down.<\/p>\n Torrentfreak reported that<\/strong><\/a> the raid \u201ctargeted a data center in Nacka which is built into a mountain. This suggests that the raid took place at Portlane.\u201d<\/p>\n Torrentfreak quoted Paul Pinter, a national coordinator for IP enforcement, as saying: \u201cthere has been a crackdown on a server room in Greater Stockholm. This is in connection with violations of copyright law.\u201d<\/p>\nMore on The Pirate Bay<\/h3>\n
