Swedish police dont have strong case against The Pirate Bay

Swedish police dont have strong case against The Pirate Bay Almost a year after the police raids on The Pirate Bay, Prosecutor Hakan Roswall decided to press charges against the admins of the popular torrent tracker site.
However, a new information leak clearly shows that the Swedish police have a weak case and have little to no evidence against the admins.

This morning, over 100 servers that were confiscated in the raids were finally returned to TBP even though the "offending data" had long been copied.

Mr Roswall has long tried to find something to use against the admins but it seem now they have little to nothing. "Brokep", and admin at TPB wrote this in his blog:

“I talk to alot of people that are somehow connected to other interesting people - one of them told me that the police officer in charge of the case against The Pirate Bay actually has _nothing_ to give the District Attorney. Still he’s pressing charges.”


So far it seems the raid did nothing but bring huge media attention to the tracker and fuel its ego.

As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States

Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here.
For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.

Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium,
will result in
a) a suit being filed for harassment
b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for
sending frivolous legal threats.

It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ....... morons, and
that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.
