			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, this is an interesting story to watch. If you haven&#8217;t lived under a rock the last couple of years, you&#8217;ve heard about <a href="http://www.thepiratebay.org">the pirate bay</a>, a search engine for .torrent files which (mostly) link to pirated material. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Bay">May 31st the Swedish Police raided</a> the hosting company where TPB was hosted, and shut down all the routers (not just TPB ones). Anyway, today &#8211; The Pirate Bay is back up &#8211; branded as &#8220;The Police Bay&#8221;, and with a fresh logo as well:</p>

<p align="center"><img title="the police bay" alt="the police bay" src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/06/piratebay_newlogo.png" align="middle" /></p>

<p align="left">Those guys are priceless. I mean, they&#8217;re hardcore pirates. Or &#8211; are they pirates? It will be interesting following this case in Sweden, because TPB is nothing but a search engine for .torrent files &#8211; not much different than Google. You can find the same files searching Google &#8211; so if the pirate bay is illegal, then Google is as well. The only difference between the two search engines is that on the pirate bay you can <em>only</em> find .torrent files, most of which link to pirated material. On Google you can find that &#8211; and more.</p>

<p align="left">I guess the MPAA don&#8217;t feel as smug this morning as they did then they released the press release entitled &#8220;<a href="http://www.mpaa.org/press_releases/2006_05_31.pdf">Swedish Authorities Sink Pirate Bay</a>&#8220;. Besides the fact that a bay can&#8217;t be sunk &#8211; they didn&#8217;t sink it, they just made it inoperable for three days <img src='http://www.bybjorn.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
