[Can any IP'ers who read Swedish check out the comments in the post thread, and indicate whether their story is credible or not? The abuse of ISP censorware blacklists for "mission creep" is an obvious slippery slope. But anything coming from a site which calls itself "Pirate Bay" needs to be treated with some skepticism. One might cynically conjecture about a tactic of releasing an alert on Friday afternoon, knowing officials won't be around to deny it until Monday morning, and by that time the Pirate Bay version will be echoing all over the Net]
If the site referenced is http://www.thepiratebay.org then it is back on-line. Steve
