NOTORIOUS - PIRATES RESCUED

PIRATES RESCUED

The operators of The Pirate Bay were made to walk the plank Tuesday after the Swedish file-sharing website was shut down by its ISP, Black Internet. However, by early today (Wednesday) the website was up and running again after relocating outside of Sweden. It was not immediately clear which ISP had rescued the operators. Black Internet had acted after receiving a court order on Tuesday to stop providing service to the notorious BitTorrent-tracking website. "There are laws and rules in society and they should be respected," Black Internet CEO Victor Möller told a Stockholm newspaper, Dagens Nyheter . For most of the day, those attempting to access the website were greeted with a message from its operators vowing to "defend our Internets, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone."
