PEER-TO-PEER<\/strong> tracker site Pirate Bay has been pulled from the Internet by a Swedish Court in a victory for the music and film cartels.<\/p>\n

Not really, of course. Swedish authorities ordered that The Pirate Bay be disconnected from the Internet and the site’s bandwidth supplier Black Internet was threatened with a fine of $70,600 if it didn’t pull the plug.<\/p>\n

However Black Internet’s shut down had hardly any effect on Pirate Bay. The site was completely offline for only a short while until another ISP was found. A Pirate Bay insider told TorrentFreak<\/em><\/a> that it “got a new connection to the net” pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

The Pirate Bay had been prepared for a move like this since 2006 when the Swedish authorities raided its servers, so after 24 hours everything is back up and running.<\/p>\n

It didn’t cost Pirate Bay anything, but did cost the big entertainment companies Disney, Universal, Warner, Columbia, Sony, NBC and Paramount plenty in expensive legal fees.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Pirate Bay said that the MAFIAA had spent millions of dollars and endless amounts of time to get this ban ordered.<\/p>\n

It accused the movie and film studios of bribery, saying that was the only way they could push through such an act, which it said “violates so many laws not only in Sweden but also in the EU, not to mention violations against human rights”.<\/p>\n

The end result of all this time and money spent was that Pirate Bay was down for all of about three hours, Pirate Bay said.<\/p>\n
